if the rumours are true, we are now going to be heading for the 12 and final doctor, it could very well be that the bbc will decide, this would be the best way to bring the current doctor who series to an end, but could continue by remaking old episodes of dr who, and xmas specials, and plenty of spin of programs
So if the doctor is coming to end of his regenerations, what could happen
1. A slow death which see his body decay, untill he looks like the master, in the deadly assassin
2. His death approaches, and he assumes he is going to die, insted of dying he regenerates, which should not happen, being the last time lord alive, this was prepared for, by Rassilon, after the regeneration has taken place, he finds he has his memory back in full, and on the tardis console, are all the artifacts from gallifrey, he will make a new race of time lords
3. this has to be my favourite suggestion
Amy is still traveling with the 12th doctor, by accident Amy and Rory are killed, this breaks the doctors heart, he cant take it any more, he has lost to many companions, he know he must end his life, so no one else dies, but cant do it himself
He seaks out Davros, and the daleks, and tells davros, to end his life, the Daleks accept this end exterminate him
As this happens, we see the doctor being disentregated, but on the ground lie a wee small ball, which starts to glow, and get bigger, it soon gets to a size of a football, at this point it rises of the ground, and the body extends down the way
All of a sudden there is a explosion, and standing in front of Davros is the doctor, wearing a white suit, and his hair and eyes are white. He reveals to davros because of his unselfish act to geive up his life, he has become the white guardian
He has more power than anyone can imagine, for one time only he is able to restore life after death, but who does he restore life to
the time lords, or amy, he choose the later, and brings the time lords back, but does no forget about Amy, she is alos brought back, but now she is part guardian, and guardion of earth, at this point the doctor fades away, and the series comes to an end
The tardis is returned to Gallifrey, where one day a timelord like the doctor will use it

2. It's 13, not 12.
3. Beware of insulting PMs. I got two for making a thread like this.
The third idea sounds interesting though
Not that BBC Executives would ever allow a neat end. They will drain ever last drop of life from the series and drag its hollow corpse through the schedule long after it should have been laid to rest.
:eek:
When did I get so cynical?
It took about 16 years for DW to start afresh last time (not counting the film in the middle). It'll go on forever in my mind, in some form or another.
Now, having a companion elevated to the status of White Guardian, that's another matter entirely.
Need to check your facts. That newspaper is well known for having good sport and showbiz connections. I would trust a sport or showbiz story more from them than any other printed source.
I hope you're very much being sarcastic.
Not at all. West Ham have today signed a Mexican player which had been rumoured in The Sun, not other newspapers, for a while.
Like Julie Gardner once said 'this is sci-fi'. They will find a way of continuing the life of the Doctor, probably with a throwaway line or two. That said, as a viewer of only Nu-Who and the occasional classic episode, I envisioned the regenration limit to be a law rather than an anatomical trait. With the Timelords gone, and the fact that the Doctor is outstandingly brilliant, I am sure he will have many whirlwind adventures in his fourteenth incarnation
Option 2) Write it off in passing. Say something to the effect of "The Universe was recreated without the Doc and only his current regeneration came back from Amy's memory, therefore he's now 1 not 11
Option 3) Time lord technology such as the eye of harmony
what they will never do, is kill him off
I imagine you could develop it and become a good script writer or synopsis guru of some kind...
You throw enough stones in the ocean, eventually you are going to hit a fish.
Exactly
Then again, I could be completely wrong, and they could end the Doctor's life and put an end to the series completely.
It won't happen for a while at least. For the BBC to put an end to Doctor Who now would be suicide for the corporation. It's one of their biggest sellers if not their biggest.
Poor fish.
But if that fish is The Sun, then DIE FISHY DIE!
You're right in the first bit I think! While viewer ratings/popularity/DVD sales/merchandise sales warrant, it will still continue. It will always be The Doctor & the easy option is timelord resurrection (granting a new cycle of lives) and/or discovery of timelord technology to enable this.
He's going to be around for a decade or 2 yet!
Everything the superb Survival was not.
When will this travesty be transmitted?
Following on from where the doctor becomes the white guardion, he brings back galifrey right from the start of the time lord history, so this would include him self, so now he has 12 regenerations, and this could be away to redo old storys
Were there not comments about the Time Lords granting extra regenerations to those fighting in the Time War?
The Doctor was one of the combatants. He may be entirely unsure how many lives he has left. I think that's how I'd play it. Maybe have him worry that he will regenerate without end

Before we all die
No, they've put it back to 18.20, the sw*nes!!! The ratings will be dreadful.
I plan on regenerating that night.
