Of of course not . But Steven Moffat reportedly state people last nighttime that it ’s prescribed that the Doctor , that exotic time traveller , can only change his shape a dozen multiplication . With John Hurt added as a antecedently unknown incarnation , that makes Peter Capaldi the Last Dr. .

At the Ad - Lib case at this year ’s Edinburgh television festival , legion Frank Skinner reportedly ask , “ Do you acknowledge the convention that The Doctor can only regenerate 12 times ? ” And Moffatanswered simply , “ Yes . ”But would not go into any contingent about how he might circumvent that limitation at the end of Capaldi ’s run ( if Moffat is even still writing Who then . )
Here are the fact : in the beginning , the MD ’s ability to change his look was vaguely draw as something that came with being a Time Lord and having a TARDIS , without any mention of limits . Then , in 1976 ’s “ The Deadly Assassin , ” we fulfill an emaciated , dying version of the Master , an evil Time Lord , who had used up all 13 of his allotted bodies . Since then , the 12 - positive feedback limit has been mentioned on and off . In a Sarah Jane Adventures episode a few years ago , Matt Smith ’s Doctor suggest he could actually change his boldness countless time — butthat come out to be a joke .

Honestly , whoever is in mission of Doctor Who when Capaldi leave alone would have to be insane not to make this into the basis of a fib . We all know that Capaldi wo n’t be the last Doctor — but retrieve out how the Doctor deal to gain more life is full of fascinating potential , that you ’d be nuts to handwave forth . Heroes are only as interesting as their limit , and the more limitations , the more interesting the hero .
In that same talk , Moffat mentioned that he think of the Time Lords as being utterly dead — so it does n’t voice as though they could step in and grant more life , the way they apparently did for the Master . mayhap the Doctor will have to make a deal with some other super - powerful entity ? Or cross his own timeline ? The mind Virginia reel .
Oh , and also in Moffat ’s appearance , heclaimed the Doctor and Sherlock Holmes ( from his show Sherlock ) are opposites :
‘ I reckon in certain respects they ’re kind of opposites , are n’t they ? ’ he said at the Ad Lib event in Edinburgh on Wednesday to Frank Skinner : ‘ The Doctor is the angel who aspires to be human and Sherlock is the man who aspires to be an evil god . ’ Moffat also ruled out a crossover episode and articulate that the Doctor and Sherlock ‘ would n’t care each other . ’
Do you think that ’s true ? Or they both versions of Moffat ’s beloved “ cleverest gentleman’s gentleman in the way ” stock role ?
