Ah, but as far as we knew Time Lords couldn't choose their regeneration appearance until Romana did it during the Tom Baker era. Then we didn't know they could channel the regeneration energy into something else and stay the same as they were (and create a growing clone at the same time) until this year. There is nothing, thoeretically, stopping them to regenerate him into a her (although I don't think it would be a good idea personally - we already have a female representation of The Doctor running around in the form of his cloned daughter).

Oh dear God! Are you all right - are you feeling feverish at all?

Actually, I'm beginning to think Ross Kemp might really be an inspired choice - I like the idea of the doctor really kicking ass! And I understand he's quite keen to do comedy...

I think he could work really well as the doc - assuming Russell Brand's no longer a likely candidate...

I reckon they should get Bill Bailey to do it.

Last Doctor Who for Tennant:-

Well, It's just an hour away till David Tennant's last show as the Doctor *sniffle, sob, cry*

I don't know how Matt Smith will fare as the time lord, but I've had some thoughts about the show when he takes over.

The Time Lords of Gallifrey are back.

Does this mean that The Doctor (And perhaps the Master's) regenerations are reset to Zero?

Is the Doctor going to be punished for his "meddling" with human affairs?

I never ever liked Dr who, even in the early years when when my dad use to watch it when i was a kid i seen a few episodes, no did i watch when Christopher Eccleston started the new Dr who's. But since David Tennant become a Dr i never missed one episode he did, i really enjoyed it, i know i wont watch it when Matt smith takes over has the Dr, just something i love about David Tennant he was a fab Dr, even my family who are Dr who mad was shock to see i watched it since he been the Dr.

That was mainly pants. Its a pity John Simm couldn't be the new Dr, I thought he was great.

Definitely pants...and really drawn out. But I did get excited again once he regenerated. Shame we now have to wait a few months to see where Moffat takes the show.

I thought it was excellent .. I loved the way he revisited his old friends. Well, they say that when you are about to die your past flashes in front of you.

well, *le sigh*...

John Simm AND David Tennant, together... *cor*

It worked for me

All it needed would have been a guest appearance by Johnny Depp, and I'd have been simply floating!

The "spinny-head thing", when the humans turned into the master, and back again, tickled me.

I agree that it needed a bit more padding, to have stretched to the two episodes.

I'm intrigued as to how Matt Smith is going to play it, and where he and the writers are going to take it with the new Doctor.

I'm quite excited about the "weeping angels" hints. I thought that episode ("Blink") was one of the best, and scariest. (with the one set in the library, with the shadows, a very close second)

I haven't looked through other forums discussing doctor who but as far as I'm aware there is no explanation about exactly who the female was in the library episode as she said she knew the doctor and hinted at a whole lot more, any one care to explain this annoying problem.

Professor River Song? I'm presuming (hoping) that her character will be explained in a future episode. She certainly knows the Doctor almost "too" well, doesn't she?

New Doc looks fantastic. Can't wait. I loved the DT era, but it got a bit too much imho. Too much of RTD and everything being thrown at the screen with little consideration. I didn't much care for the drawn out regeneration either. Too blubby and designed to upset. I expected to be upset, but in the end I wasn't at all. Eccleston's regeneration was more moving in 30 seconds than the twenty minute blub-fest DT had. Luckily, the new Doctor had a fun first scene, and the trailer for the new series looks the absolute dog's proverbials. Out with the old, in with the new.

It may have already been explained; at the very beginning of this two-parter, when the Doctor finally goes to the Ood planet, he explains why he's late ("done something, done something else, been somewhere, got married...")

I'm assuming that the woman he married was River Song...

He did say from memory 'got married to good queen bess' which is a nickname for Queen Elizabeth I whom the doctor met in an episode where he goes back in time to meet Shakespeare. If you ask me she's the doctors mother...

I'm glad they didn't come back permanently, they bogged the original series down for far too long and would probably have done the same to this era of the show.

Surely the Master's already has been? In "The Sound of Drums" he refers to having been resurrected by the Timelords for the Time War. That makes John Simm at the very least least the 17th incarnation of the Master (given that he'd already reached his 13th and "final" incarnation back in 1976).

Quite literally in the case of Tom Baker and Peter Davison's regenerations.

Aha .. I heard him going on about Bess but didn't realise he was still referring to his marriage. Scratch that theory then.

I've seen nothing in the modern series to imply that there is a limit on the number of regenerations, and some lines have hinted that there is not. Possibly - given that the 13th incarnation wasn't all that far off in 2005, unlike in the 60s - they've rewritten that bit of the lore.
