Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who" 375
First time accepted submitter Dave Knott writes "The BBC has announced that Matt Smith will be leaving 'Doctor Who', after spending the last four seasons in the titular role of The Doctor. Smith will remain for the upcoming 50th anniversary special, where he will star alongside a majority of the other actors who have taken on the character, and will exit following the yearly Christmas episode. No actor has yet been cast as the twelfth incarnation of The Doctor, although there was a teaser involving John Hurt at the end of the most recent season of the show."

I got first because I went back in my TARDIS... ;)

I'm jealous. My 2nd-hand model doesn't work well. It's less like a noble police box and more like a trashy Bill's and Ted's phone booth. Nav-circuits are broke so it only takes me to places the TARDIS has already been -- Doors won't open till the other TARDIS is gone. Great for watching re-runs though. I call it the RE-TARDIS.

William Hartnell was the first Doctor, at about 55 years old.
Matt Smith was 28.
Obviously the Doctor is getting younger and younger. I predict that the next one will be around 18. Perhaps Tom Holland?
Probably give him a 6 pack abs also, running around shirtless.

Wasn't it first said that time lords have 9 lives?
No, you seem to be getting time lords and cats mixed up.

OK, when the Doctor regenerates, there's something or another that makes him regenerate as TWO people - pleyed by Fry and Laurie!
It would be AWESOME [youtube.com]

No need to save face. Just regenerate and change it and don't tell anyone.

If the Time Lords have 13 lives, do their time cats get 12*9=117 lives? If we run out of doctors, I propose a new series, Doctor Who's Cat. The protagonist could have some non-obvious, non-ridiculous name, such as Phi Line.

I'd love the 13th Doctor to be desperately trying to avoid dying because he knows he's the last generation, then regenerating instead and saying something like "What? Nobody ever did 14? How did I do 14? And why am I still not ginger?"

timelords only get 12 regens
What is the Timelords' preferred numerical base?
