Doctor Who’s amazing ability to regenerate has been a convenient tool for producers of the Doctor Who franchise. When an actor wants to move on the can be seamlessly replaced by a new Doctor without a trite voice over so common in American soap operas at least, “Doctor Who will now be performed by…”.
That is not to say that the transition from one Doctor to the next is easy on the fans or the actors themselves but it isn’t impossible. Let’s face it, not much in Doctor Who’s world is impossible.
The latest Doctor Who, David Tenet, has retired his badge and left the Tardis after three seasons and multiple specials. The newest and youngest Doctor to date, Matt Smith, was introduced after regenerating and sending the Tardis into a swirling, fiery free fall headed for the recently saved Earth. The Master, who sadly lost his ability to regenerate and the Time Lords were put in their respective places, death and eternal imprisonment.
Will the newest Doctor capture the heart and imagination of the young and old fans alike? Will this latest Doctor Who series continue to grow in popularity? Personally, I’d like to see a movie, with many of the doctors making an appearance. In my opinion no movie would be complete without Doctor Donna.

Dr Donna?
I was hoping there would be a Dr Rose and although not the most avid fan did see the introduction of Matt Smith and thought about how audience debate could be sparked with him checking his face and hair and considering himself to be a woman!

Donna Noble, the last companion… (sounds so 1800 huh
became Dr. Donna for a very brief time but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone else. I really liked Rose in the first season and still do but Donna became my favorite.
Yeah, that was pretty funny when he reacted to his hair. It caused me to wonder why not a female version!
I had a thought today about this and realised that there couldn’t really be a long term Dr Donna or Rose, we know their names. I’ll look forward to seeing Dr Donna briefly though. (^_^)
