The Tardis materialized in the middle of a gang shoot-out. He got shot and was taken to a hospital where treatment to save his life actually finished him off due to his non-human Biology. Due to the drugs he'd been administered with before death, his regeneration was delayed, but in the hospital morgue he regenerated into the 8th Doctor.

How many times can Doctor Who regenerate?

He has regenerated 12 times in total and is currently in his 13th incarnation - even though he (and we) only recognize 11 regenerations into another "Doctor" as the so-called Dark-Doctor (between Doctors 8 and 9) is a destroyer, not a healer, so he is not thought of as one of the official incarnations that can be called "The Doctor." The current Doctor known to fans as "12" is played by Peter Capaldi, who previously appeared in series 4 as a guest star. While It should be noted that in the series four finale of the revived series, "Journey's End", an injured Tenth Doctor manages to avert a full regeneration by channeling "excess regenerative energy" into his severed hand, allowing him to heal without changing form, this is not considered a regeneration as the doctor never changed his DNA. It was more of a healing.


In which episode does the ninth doctor regenerate?

There is no episode with the eighth Doctor regenerating, he was only in the 1996 movie, and when the show returned in 2005 it was with the ninth Doctor.


Why can the doctor only regenerate 13 times?

a timelord has 13 lifecycles,but can regenerate more..because in the dr who movie with Paul mcgann..the master had already used his 13th cycle only to take another body,by possesion,then he fell into the eye of the tardis making us all think he died..But then the master returned in the episode eutopia with david tennant having forgotten who he was until he was shot and he regenerated into saxon only to be shot again and die..to be reserected in the end of time,only to return with the timelords once again being trapped in the timelock..So i say the doctor has 12 bodies but as with the master,where there is a will there is a way,and knowing the doctor he will find a way....FANTASTIC


Is Doctor Who being cancelled?

As of February 2015, no.The show is alive and well. in fact the Doctor has only just restarted his regeneration cycles after being granted a "regeneration extension". usually Time Lords are only allowed to regenerate a certain number of times, but Doctor Who is currently an exception to that rule.


Is it possible to regenerate like doctor who in real life?

I'm not sure but i should think that they should be some sort of Regeneration somtime in the future maybe in 4 years time maybe. I don't know. But kind of hope so. Sounds imposible.
