The Doctor and Rose’s farewell at Bad Wolf Bay in 2006’s Doctor Who episode ‘Doomsday’ has been voted the greatest moment in sci-fi, horror and fantasy.

SFX has revealed readers’ votes to celebrate their 250th issue, with over 96,000 votes cast in the poll.

David Tennant commented: “I remember worrying on the day we shot this scene that as I was actually a projection from inside the Tardis my hair shouldn’t be blowing in the wind. That seemed terribly important at the time and although we didn’t find a solution to it, it bothered me for weeks. Then I saw the finished scene and of course all that matters is the end of the Doctor and Rose’s story.”

He added: “Russell [T Davies] had weaved some glorious magic for two seasons and it all came together so perfectly in this scene that people still talk to me about it with misty eyes all these years later (and I suspect they always will.) Murray Gold created some heart stopping music that accentuates the misery and Billie is just breathtakingly good. I feel very lucky to be standing on that beach, with my hair flying around, in amongst all these brilliant elements. Whatever else I do and wherever else I end up, this will be a moment I will be forever proud to look back on. Thanks for having us at number one.”
