When the Doctor puts little Amelia to bed and tells her his fairy tale, you can't help but go 'Awwww.' It's not only a moment that brings tears, but it also plays up a side of the Doctor that we haven't seen in NuWho. That of the Doctor, the Father. It's sometimes strange to think that the Doctor started out with his granddaughter on the Tardis, especially considering we never see his children or even his significant other. Also, while we've seen the Doctor run a gambit of other roles, even when Ten has his daughter clone he treats her more like an additional companion then his actual daughter. That Eleven shows a very soft, very tender, very paternal side to his nature lets you know that all those years ago when One was running the scene, a family was within the Doctor's nature and he would have been a great Dad too.
So what about you? What scenes make you go 'awwwwww?'
Tomorrow: What scene/moment makes you go 'ARGH!?'
Logging you in...

I also have to go with that scene from Big Bang. It's seriously the sweetest scene and I don't get how anyone could watch it and still say that Moffat doesn't do emotional scenes. I really don't.

Also, because it's quite recent (I'm sure I've aw-ed more than once during DW), I remember aw-ing at this scene http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi8TgtiQAc4
It's a silly scene but his laugh is adorable here! Aw, Ten...

Ten's line from the End of Time Part 2 about why Donna had that weird light that knocked down the Master clones before collapsing (no I still don't know wtf happened there): "Do you really think I'd leave my best friend without a defense mechanism?" Aawwww

I love this scene, I loved it when I first saw Flesh and Stone before we understood just how significant it really is (which just made me love it even more).

One of my personal favorite Martha moments.

It may have caused many a Very Confused Shipper, but it's still absolutely adorable. Handy is so sweet and uncertain, and I love, love, LOVE the fact that he gives her a choice. The little "if you want" makes the scene for me. I like to think he's got just enough Donna in him to realize that he's always been a douchebag by constantly making decisions for people.
Plus... The kiss. I love the kiss. XD

Okay, so I'll share some of my history with Doctor Who. I, weirdly, got into Doctor Who through Torchwood. I had heard about Torchwood, and I had heard of this great character Jack who was "omnisexual" and basically I was quite intrigued by the idea of such a character, and I badly wanted less heteronormativity on TV. So, I watched season 1 of Torchwood. And then I went, I know this is a spinoff show, so let me find the episodes that Jack was in on the original show. And that's how I got into Doctor Who - by starting with the The Empty Child and watching from there.
So this scene, where Jack kisses both Rose and the Doctor in a manner that's pretty much the same, was kind of amazing to me. I utterly adored how Jack basically treated them both the same, as it was just a breath of fresh air given how gendered society can be.
And Jack in this scene is a changed man from when we first met him in The Empty Child. This is the scene where he basically thanks them for making him a better person, then goes off to die.
So I love this scene, both for it's pivotal role in Jack's story, as well as it's more Doylist context in the real world.
Maybe this isn't the same sort of "Aww" other people have posted, but it's a lovely moment and one I'm really glad was a part of the show.

Amy: "What if you were really old, and really kind and lonely, your whole race dead. What couldn't you do then? If you were that old, and that kind, and the very last of your kind, you couldn't just stand there and watch children cry."
I love it because the Doctor's in a rage, he's so angry at stupid humans again, but he's missed something. And Amy sees it. And she knows the Doctor well enough already to know that this is true about him, too.

"You know what? You were my Doctor."
"To days to come."
"All my love to long ago."
David Tennant and Steven Moffat, you adorable fanboys.

With the whole 'old, new, borrowed, blue' thing, I was just like "Moffat, you've done it again!"

Then for a close second I'd have to go with Rory and Amy reuniting at the end of Series 5 and Eleven looking on in happiness. I also do love the little Amelia scene and when Amy and The Doctor take Vincent to the future and he sees a display of all his paintings in a gallery for the first time.
