Have you ever cried watching telly?

[TrueGeordie]

I cried while watching Max on Hollyoaks die

Yes! All the time.

Long lost family.
Hospital programs usually the baby/children stories make me cry
DIY SOS
Hillsborough documentary I cried throughout. Sobbed.
Cried at the end of that 'come home' 3 partner.

*parter

Another who cries at every Call the Midwife episode.

I cry at the drop of a hat though.

I have never forgotten a programme about children fighting cancer, when one of the young patients died.

He was 15 and it happened suddenly, and although he had leukaemia, it was unexpected.

I cried and cried.

My mum started crying when we watched the first showing of 'The Snow Dog' a few Christmases ago, and it set me off too .

Obvious things like sad films, bad news or soppy adverts make me cry.
However there was this documentary following a cute baby monkey... in the last couple of minutes the monkey falls off a tree and dies and they show the grieving mother holding the little body and dragging it around. I was howling... 😭😭😭😭

Not often - The Silent Child did for me recently but I've got a child with communication problems being shoved aside by her peers (she struggles with speech) so it was just too close to home.

Almost daily, to the extent that I'm embarrassed by it. The news, call the midwife, when I used to watch soaps, occasional sitcoms. I've started now sometimes when I'm listening to the radio. I'm awful talking to people about anything quite sad too, as I said it's embarrassing sometimes.

Constantly. Cried at Dr Who yesterday.

@handsoffmysweets yes! Monster! Especially when she realises the love of her life is betraying her although she sort wanted her to

I literally cry at everything on tv. I blame baby hormones 😶😂

I Am welling up even just typing this - watched unforgotten second series last week and there is a bit where the mother is confronted about knowing her husband was sexually abusing her daughter. I had a similar experience (not my dad though) and literally couldn’t breath for crying. Took me by surprise how raw I felt.

On a lighter note, DIY sos and greys anatomy also get me. Oh!!! And in The good wife when a main character got shot. I was beyond myself!

Loads of times, but the one that sticks out the most is Damon Grant's tragic untimely death in Brookside. I cried my eyes out, then repeated the performance during the Saturday omnibus and got told off by my mother!!

There was a documentary about foster children that I found absolutely heartbreaking (can't remember if it was BBC or Channel 4). I found it particularly sad that they separated siblings.. and the children who'd been shoved from pillar to post their whole lives. And a family who had wanted to adopt a young they'd been fostering since he was a baby - the birth mother blocked it. It was all incredibly sad.

I just came on to Telly Addicts to see if anyone was watching Hospital. It looks as if there isn't a thread. I've just watched two episodes and am typing through tears. I cry at lots of stuff on tv.

God, loads. Strictly makes me cry all the time, although usually out of joy – when they talk about how much dancing means to them/how great their partner is, etc.

And, years ago, that episode of ER with Dr Mark Greene dying

And the last ep of Six Feet Under.

I cry at adverts let alone proper sad/happy/poignant telly!

I cry all the time at tv shows. Holby regularly has me in tears. When Arthur died I was inconsolable. DH was bemused but did try to be supportive . Dom's storyline with DV has also had me in tears on a regular basis.

I cried recently when my favourite character in The Originals was dying (while my cat sat on the window coughing up a hairball )

The worst though is the Christmas episode of Old Jack's Boat on CBeebies when he's talking about Sailor Sue. Bloody kids telly making me wail on Christmas Day! While the DC looked at me in bewilderment

I was inconsolable after an episode of Futurama, the one with Fry’s dog.

Also cried when Mark Greene died in ER
When Butch Dingle died in Emmerdale
Every episode of One Born Every Minute and DIY SOS

Handsoff Yes, Agree, Monster!
Also ‘One flew over the cuckoos nest’ always gets me at the end when Jack Nicholson finally succumbs to the shock therapy and the chief puts the massive fridge or whatever it is, through the window and escapes.
Ditto ‘Terms of endearment’, I’m literally in floods from start to finish!!

TV wise, the old scene from Corrie, where Hilda clutches Stans glasses after he’s died. I’m welling up now!

Royle Family has had me sobbing many a time. Queen of Sheba obviously and when Denise is in labour. It's the bit where she says something like ' ....but I do, you and my Mam. More than anything in the world'.
Bulgaria's Forgotten Children still haunts me... those poor children.
The episode where Madges husband dies in Benidorm. The actor had died in real life and the emotions, especially of the younger lad, just seem really genuine.

Lots of episodes of ER and Call the Midwife.
Anything where anyone dies (unless they’re horrible/evil).

The one that really gets me (and I’ve watched it several times) is the ‘Two Cathedrals’ episode of the West Wing.

I’m a regular sniveller at the TV, but I was proper, snotty sobbing when Barbara died in Call The Midwife.
