Bernard Cribbins has a special power. That power is to make the hardest of the hard dissolve into pools of tears. Look at that face. Just look at it.

While Wilf may be, indirectly, responsible for the regeneration of The Tenth Doctor into The Eleventh Doctor, he was also the moral core of the Time Lord, for however short a season. Introduced initially in Voyage of the Damned, he returned as Donna Noble's granddad, appearing every so often to bring a very welcome sense of maturity (and silliness) to The Doctor on his travels.

His most memorable time with The Doctor will of course be his brief travels during The End of Time, where he brought a nation to floods while asking the Timelord to save his own life.

Wilf, we salute you too.
