Eccleston quits as Dr Who -already. (XXX) 31/03/2005, 9:26
...You just can't find Doctors with staying power these days. No bloody wonder, when the Beeb says doctors are overpaid & don't do anything right. It's created its own recruitment crisis.

He's being replaced by a generic time travel operative, able to deliver timely, effective and best value interventions against scarey aliens at a time and place of the threatened civilization's choosing. Its progress doncha know

I'm hoping that that's sick and twisted (but rather amusung) medic humour...

Shit. I just read the BBC News site.

That Time Lord is running out of regenerations mighty fast.

[hobbitomm.livejournal.com]

Yeah. How many do they get?

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

12, I believe. Although I seem to remember that the Valliard was an unstable construction somewhere between the Doctor's eleventh and twelfth regenerations.

I'm sure Gavin can give us all the technical details... :)

12 regenerations, therefore 13 lives. I can't remember the spurious Valeyard rubbish (not that I have an opinion on that season or anything :-)

[sharikkamur.livejournal.com]

He's still running out of regenerations at an alarming rate of knots.

Unless he DOES turn out to be Rassillon, as I've suspected for some time now. :)

I don't think it's a big problem, in fact. They can always find a way to give him more if they think they want to keep the show going - the possibility of getting extra regenerations has been mentioned several times in the show, even if it's usually by means of nicking someone else's.

According to the novelisation, "...your penultimate re-incarnation... Somewhere between your twelfth and thirteenth regeneration".

Which is nonsense within the context already given. Bah! :-)

Eleventh and twelfth, twelfth and thirteenth... I always thought the stuff about the Barnyard was a bit far-fetched myself too. Now, had he been the whateverth incarnation of the Master, it would have made much more sense. The whole idea of the Doctor turning bad just didn't ring true.
