Let's have a quick support thread for folks whose hearts were broken by Bernard Cribbin's final performance on Doctor Who.

Rest in Peace, sir. You made our stars twinkle a bit brighter.

Oh I was hoping he’d be in the next special. Heart broken.

IIRC they had originally written more for him, but after shooting that one scene he was too ill to come back and do more.

he was the boy who waited for the doctor to return ❤️

That was his last appearance? But we ended on a cliff hanger. He's really not going to show up in the opening scene of the next episode?

Honestly, I don't know, I haven't watched the next episode yet. The article I found said that what appearances we get are less than what was hoped for, but what he was able to film.

It sounded, in that context, like the cliffhanger might be all we get, or there might be a bit more in the next episode.

For anyone who hasn't watched the third special yet, rest assured that Wilf is okay.
