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

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.

When does Doctor Who change?

The Doctor changes when mortally hurt or wounded. When he changes it is called Regeneration, in which The Doctor "changes his face" while in the background, the actor playing the show is either fired, cut, or his contract with the BBC goes out. and a new actor comes in to take his place. this practice was originated when the producers realized that William Hartnell, who played the first doctor, could no longer play the part because of his health. for extra info, The Doctor can only Regenerate 13 times.


How many doctor whos can there be?

Every Time Lord can regenerate 12 times, giving them a total of 13 'lives'. We are currently on the 11th, Matt Smith, meaning we can only have two more actors playing the part. However, the Master has passed his regeneration limit and managed to survive by claiming a human's body, so this could mean hope for the Doctor to pass the limit also.

When will the Doctor die?

New AnswerIn the 'Death of The Doctor' episode of the Sarah Jane Adventures (a spin-off show from Doctor Who), the Doctor says he can regenerate 507 times. That being said, the Time Lord's lives were limited because of the "Time Lord Social Order". However, the Time Lord Social Order was wiped out when the Doctor's home planet was destroyed. Which would possibly make it possible to have more than 13 regenerations.Previous AnswerThe Doctor (presuming Doctor Who) will be permanently dead after his 13th life.

How many times can The Doctor regenerate?

The standard number of regeneration cycles for a time lord is limited to 12 times (meaning 13 bodies). However it is possible for Time Lords to be granted extra regenerations. There is evidence the regeneration limit was something externally imposed by the Time Lords, and therefore may not exist anymore now that Gallifrey is gone.
