Doctor Who regeneration voted TV moment of the year by fans
Could anything have topped it?
The Thirteenth Doctor's jaw-dropping regeneration scene has been named TV Moment of the Year at the Edinburgh TV Awards.

Of course, the acclaimed actor had a wildly popular run as the Tenth Doctor between 2005 and 2010, but the return of his likeness in the Time Lord's latest form begs a lot of questions.
We'll soon get our answers in a trilogy of 60th anniversary specials reuniting Tennant with former co-star Catherine Tate, who is reprising the role of human companion Donna Noble.
