The Time Of The Doctor Christmas Promotional Image
First Doctor Who Christmas 2013 Promotional Image
The BBC has released the first Poster image from the 2013 Christmas special. This will be Matt Smiths last story before Peter Capaldi takes over.
The Time of the Doctor follows Clara and the Time Lord “to a quiet backwater planet in order to learn what some strange signals mean for his very existence”.

November 27th, 2013 - 12:52pmSo we can see peter capaldi in the fire, we know he’s the next doctor. You can see the 8th as well and this is where my Theory comes in. The doctor crashes on khan where he is revived and drinks the elixir and is told that gallefrey science is elevated on khan. As the sisters are the keepers of the eternal flame it may be this has been imparted on the doctor as well and thus negating thirteen lives. The fact that the 8th doctor is on the promo tells me he has something to do with getting around the 12 regenerations and I think that comes from the night of the doctor. I could of course be entirely wrong.

November 27th, 2013 - 10:46amI agree with 1000000BC…I think he has been taken out of context. Also we know Steven Moffat lies/twists things to lead people down a false trail to protect his plots why is everyone suddenly taking this particaulr statement as gospel..? Peter Capaldi will be the 12th Doctor and 13th incarnation. We’ll find out for sure in 27 days but I will bet my house on this.

November 26th, 2013 - 11:11pmI read online (Anglophenia I think) that Moffat said in an interview after the 50th that the MetaCrisis Doc counts as a regeneration, though he could be rumour stirring again!
MOFFAT!
*Shakes fist*

November 26th, 2013 - 11:06pmMoffat’s addressed this more recently (read it on Anglophenia I think) that Smith is the thirteenth, as one of the regenerations was taken up by the MetaCrisis Tenth Doctor. Thus the whole Thirteenth Doctor thing can’t work so Moffat has to solve it in the Christmas Ep! Exciting! Could be him just stirring up rumours though as we know he does!

November 26th, 2013 - 10:08pmBooboo: exactly,that is going to make Peter, while the 13th doctor he will in essence be the 14th reincarnation. I still think by obtaining all of River’s lives he is going to be able to keep regenerating.

November 26th, 2013 - 8:42pmBooboo this episode is called the time of the doctor
So we have had
The name of the doctor
The night of the doctor
The day of the doctor
The time of the doctor
Wouldn’t be surprised if he dosnt fit in fate for capaldis first ep! ‘The fate of the doctor’
But seriously I was hopping for silent night!!

November 26th, 2013 - 8:34pmMoffat and Smith never said that.
1. There is no record anywhere of Smith saying
that.
2. I am pretty sure the newspaper that said Moffat said that was the same one that has a reputation for spicing up rumors about dr who.

November 26th, 2013 - 8:30pmThink about it, in ‘Lets kill Hitler’ river gave him her remaining regenerations to stop her killing him, that’s got to be at least 9 more doctors after the 13th. problem solved id say
crazy guy
November 26th, 2013 - 8:03pmactually in the impossible astronaut the doctor didn’t finish regenerating so that didn’t count as a regeneration. all the first 8 doctors are normal then the war doctor is the ninth, Chris is the tenth, David is the eleventh and Matt the twelfth and making peter the thirteenth but however as moffat said Matt is not called the eleventh doctor just in his eleventh body
100000BC
November 26th, 2013 - 7:59pmI thought he said that simply to stop people from fussing over changing the numbers of the Doctors, rather than to suggest that he used up a regeneration, but we don’t know for sure…

November 26th, 2013 - 7:47pmbooboo what do u think of my synthesis
the astroanut of death
November 26th, 2013 - 6:54pmtime lords might have a small amount of regeneration left but not enough to repair the whole body in a full regeneration
and if that was true moffat and matt would have not said he is the 13th doctor
drjakeyoung
November 26th, 2013 - 6:47pmFor all these people saying Smith is the 13th and final doctor, no he isn’t. In the angels take Manhattan, he gives river some of his regeneration energy, which proves he still has some left. In the impossible astronaut he begins regenerating before being shot by the astronaut. (Yes, i know, its the tesselector)but still he begins regenerating. These prove that he still has the ability to regenerate. So yes, Matt is the 12th doctor.

November 26th, 2013 - 6:39pmThis could explain why we randomly saw JH regenerate into CE at the end of Day – maybe the Doctor counts the regenerations in a series of flashbacks and realises…!
