The Body also gave us the definitive moment of fan favourite Anya. Though the ex-demon's lack of tact and social skills was usually played for laughs, Anya's breakdown after Joyce's death is guaranteed to break your heart.

As a formerly immortal being, Anya can't fathom the permanence of death and the sorrow that she is feeling. "I was having fruit punch," she memorably says, "and I thought 'well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch.' And she'll never have eggs or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why."

No, I'm not crying, it's just a bit of vampire dust in my eye.
