The Tenth Doctor is the tenth incarnation of the Doctor in the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who, played by David Tennant during the show's revived run in the 2000s. Goodbye scenes became a hallmark of his era, as his Doctor often formed close bonds with companions before parting from them. Clips of those farewells circulate widely among fans, who reuse them in edits, reaction videos and tribute compilations. This short goodbye works because it carries that history with it, even for viewers who only know the character from memes and short clips online.
