If we're being canonical, it is possible to get more than twelve regenerations. In the 1983 special The Five Doctors, the Time Lord high council offered the Master a completely new set of regenerations in exchange for renouncing his wicked ways and helping the Doctor, who was trapped in the Death Zone.

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.

True, but then The Master was brought back in the new series and THAT just did NOT work, even with Jacobi doing that role.

Hmmmmmm...maybe I missed the Matt Smith show that THAT occurred in. I was getting turned off, by then, and not as avid a watcher of the show.

Thanks for the info.

Yes, Davis has RUINED Doctor Who!
