Can I just clarify? (I’m new here and I don’t have a TV so I’m a bit out of touch?) I’m a writer, but not a fiction writer usually.
Am I right in thinking the new Doctor is the last one because of the limit on regenerations?
I hope so, because I’ve written an outline and some detailed dialogue for the possibly last series, in which the Doctor faces death with no further regenerations. I establish that it’s a universal law that can’t be broken – and then find an ingenious loophole. But it’s not certain right until the last minute whether the Doctor will succeed in getting through the loophole. There’s a lot of fun with multiple dimensions and the nature of time and space.
I’m guessing the BBC may be desperate for this solution to a big problem, but as I’m out of touch I’m not sure.
– thanks
