As pointed out in the comments of this article, Sylvester McCoy‘s*  classic speech to Ace in the seventh Dr Who episode Survival, which becam the final (until new Who), was a surprisingly apt choice (noone at the time knew it was the end) – and it has long been a favourite of mine:

“There are worlds out there where the skies are burning, where the seas asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there’s danger, somewhere there’s injustice…and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on Ace…we’ve got work to do!”

And of course, as they list, the Blackadder series wraps up with the shocking end to the hilarity – so poignant, bitter, and appropriate. Someone in the comments also counts Season 4 as the best place to end Babylon 5 on – and oh, how I agree!

* did i mention i have met Sylvester, Colin Baker, and the lovely Katy Manning – splendid chaps, all of them! Colin called me a Titian beauty, and claimed that, as my name is Romana, and Tom Baker briefly was married to Lalla Ward, Romana no 2, i am married to him and Sylvester, who laughed and agreed. Oh, swoon….
