The new series had/has NONE of that and sol, was NEVER as good and just kept on getting worse and worse and then GOD AWFUL! I gave up on it with the last male Doctor and haven't watched it since.
Nope...do NOT play games with the sex of the Doctor, nor the prescribed number of regenerations!
The Time Lords didn't do that for the Master, but they did do it for the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) in his final story. So the Doctor has thirteen new lives.
I don't care what happens anymore with this show. Disney and Russell T. Davies have ruined it forever.
