167. (1.8) Father's Day

Papa can you hear me? Papa can you see me?

This is the episode that breaks your heart. Hands down. Blubbering idiot. Over the course of the series, we've learned that Rose's father died when she was young. So as a favor, the Doctor takes Rose to the moment he dies, by getting hit by a car. A bit morbid I think. Of course Rose can't help herself and saves her dad from getting killed and changes time. We also see a younger Jackie, a baby Rose and a little Mickey. Changing the timeline causes big problems and the reapers start killing everyone off. Rose's dad, Pete Tyler, finally figures it out and sacrifices himself to correct the timeline. It's truly hearth wrenching and if you don't shed a tear, you're heartless.
