'DOCTOR Who bosses are lining up Matt Smith’s exit for Christmas — when he will regenerate into the 12th Time Lord.
Insiders say the festive special will be Matt’s last outing as The Doctor, after a triumphant four years in the role.
The actor has made no bones about his ambition to crack Hollywood and has filmed new movie How To Catch A Monster with Ryan Gosling, which is released next year.
Sources say bosses already have an idea of who they want to replace him, with work on the special due to get under way later in the year.
Matt’s contract is understood to expire in November but we understand he doesn’t want it renewed.
Filming on the 50th anniversary episode, airing in November, will begin next month.'

I loved Billy Piper, and I loved that sometimes she wore a Wichita Falls t-shirt.
The sci-fi writers can make anything happen.
From “Consequences”, by LoL Creme and Kevin Godley:
Mr Blint: Oh no ! - I was just telling Mrs Stapleton about the piano and the wind. I also mentioned that though my musical orientation is more Bach than Beach Boys, I do take an interest in the world of popular music. I’m something of an expert, but can be fallible. I remember being very surprised by Gene Chandler and the ‘Duke of Earl’. I never saw that as chart material. The lyrics meant little to me: ‘Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl, Duke Duke, Duke; - Duke, Duke, Duke of Earl...’
(Blint continues reciting the lyrics under the next dialogue)
Haig: Would you smile please, Mrs Stapleton?
Lulu: Smile? Me? What about?
Pepperman: Not about anything! We need documentation!
Haig: (trying to handle the camera) How do these bloody things focus?
(FX Camera shutter)
Walter: I’ve never seen her smile before - I’m not sure that I like it...
Haig: (the photo coming out of the Polaroid slips into the goldfish bowl) Sorry Roland! It seems to be developing in spite of everything...
Pepperman: You can stop smiling now Mrs Stapleton. It’s getting on my nerves!
Blint: (ending his monotonous mumbling of ‘Duke of Earl’) They didn’t grab me. On the other hand, I was the first to recognize at the ‘At the Hop’ as a chart-bound sound. You see Danny and the Juniors had a... Well, never mind. I see that I’m distracting you from your work - and me from MINE!
I adored her.
So quirky, so funny, so fearless and real.
Like “Time Crash”?

Peter Davison (the fifth Doctor) and David Tennant (10th).
Loved this comment:
“Peter Davison had a daughter, actress Georgia Moffett, who played Jenny, the Doctors clone/daughter in “The Doctor’s Daughter”. She and David Tennant got together, got married, and now have a daughter of their own.
So the Doctors daughter who played the Doctors daughter in The Doctors Daughter married the Doctor and had the Doctors daughter and the Doctors grand-daughter...
Wibbley Wobbley Timey Whimey.....stuff.”
I thought it was 12 regenerations.
Nice. And he isn’t just another skinny guy in a suit. Loved Eccleston and Tennant. Took a while to get used to Smith. Did not find the story line with Amy being infatuated with him all that believable. Totally agree with your “stepping stone” comment. Would be nice to have a doctor stick around a while!
was it?
Did I confooz that with something else?
“Brave choice, a stick of celery”
Sooooooooo, is it ‘time’ for a muslim Doctor?
don’t give them any ideas
Too late...

From the wiki:
“It is first stated in The Deadly Assassin (1976) that a Time Lord can regenerate twelve times before dying (thirteen incarnations in all).”

Lord, I hope not.
A Pakistani fellow named Fasil?
What?!!
Exactly! And great comment you found! :-)
They do like to change the rules as they go along!
;-)
Great line, LOL!
The other one I like is
“Eh, I’m the Doctor. I can save the universe using a kettle and some string. And look at me, I’m wearing a vegetable!”
The thought has been thrown around about a female Doctor.
okay.
I wonder where 9 came from?
