More David Tennant: Hamlet/United
Wow. I think he cries in everything. He can even cry and do Shakespeare ("O that this too too solid flesh would melt..."):
This is brief, but moving. From "United". He plays the coach of the Manchester United football team that lost members in a 1958 plane crash. After visiting survivors and keeping it together in front of them, he finally breaks in private (from 57:47):
I know there was at least one "Doctor Who" in which he had a good crying scene, but not knowing much about the show, I don't know episode title(s). Can anyone help?

Very nice! I have to say, he gets more handsome as he gets older, but he's always a good crier no matter what his age.

Re: More David Tennant: Hamlet/United
Excellent scenes!
As for Doctor Who, there are two episodes with some great crying of his. The first one is "The Family of Blood," part 2 of "Human Nature." One of the best two-part episodes of the series in my opinion, and a great crying scene.
There are several crying scenes in "The End of Time," another two-part episode at the end of season 4. All excellent.

Thank you Carrotcake! Sadly, "End of Time" doesn't seem to be available on YouTube, but I watched "Human Nature/Family of Blood" and they were great. I found this quote about "Family of Blood" (from "The Most Heartbreaking Doctor Who Moments", ):
"This is apparently where RTD learned that David Tennant was such a contagious cryer, he chose to just turn the guy into a human face fountain for the duration".

Re: More David Tennant: Hamlet/United
I was able to get the United clip. There's something about a man hiding away somewhere out of the way to cry that just gets to me.
