The regenerative cycle creates a large amount of energy that engulfs the Time Lord's body. The Doctor has shown the extent of this energy when being able to rapidly regrow a severed hand in the first fifteen hours of his regeneration.
The Doctor frequently experiences periods of instability and partial amnesia following regeneration.
The TARDIS appears to aid in the regenerative process. Of the occasions the Doctor regenerates outside the TARDIS, one was forced on him by the Time Lords (The War Games), one required a Time Lord to give the Doctor's cells a "little push" to start the process (Planet of the Spiders), and one needed the TARDIS Zero Room to help him recover (Castrovalva)
Here is how each Doctor's regeneration came about:
- First Doctor: Apparently succumbed to old age, steadily growing weaker throughout 'The Tenth Planet' and collapsing at the end of the episode.
- Second Doctor: Was exiled to Earth by the Time Lords at the end of 'The War Games'. He was forced upon a "change in appearance" along side the exile.
- Third Doctor: Gained radiation poisoning from the Great One's cave of crystals at the end of 'Planet of the Spiders.'
- Fourth Doctor: Fell from the Pharos Project radio telescope in 'Logopolis.'
- Fifth Doctor: Caught a disease known as spectrox toxaemia, from an acidic substance. He gave up the antidote to his current assistant, sacrificing himself in 'The Caves as Androzani.'
- Sixth Doctor: When the Rani attacked the TARDIS and caused it to crash land, he suffered unspecified injuries. This was at the start of 'Time and the Rani.'
- Seventh Doctor: At the opening of the '1996 movie', he was shot. Although the gunshot wounds were non-life threatening, he was killed during surgery as the doctors who had to operate on him were unfamiliar with Time Lord physiology.
- Eighth Doctor: Not revealed as yet (It can be assumed thatthe doctor died after being inflicted with serious injuries during the Time War.)
- Ninth Doctor: In the 'Parting of the Ways', the Doctor absorbed the energy of the TARDIS' time vortex in order to save Rose. Because of this, he began to experience cellular degeneration and had to regenerate.
- Tenth Doctor: Current incarnation.

Very well done I must say my name is Time Kid alast alias name, I'm a Writer of Time lord Journaling check it out or not put here is a link http://timesword.blogspot.com/
if the 10th doctor regenrate into the 11th doctor I think he die when he is the 12th doctor not the 13th doctor because he got shoted by dalek in the stolen earth in journey s end instead regenrating to new doctor he kept his body for not change into new person
maybe 10th doctor found new level of regeneration plus he has new power called earsed mind power.
when rose had the vortix in her she brought jack back 2 life and said "i bring life", jack became a fix point in time so if the doctor was also there maybe this affected the doctor as well which would also affect his regenerations!?!
When Gallifrey existed, the Time Lords monitored and could influence regenerations.
They granted the Master a new regeneration cycle during the Time War. As far as we know he is on his 2nd regeneration of his new cycle (Derek Jacobi being the first and John Simms the second)
Since Simms has been spotted filming for Dr Who it can be assumed he has retained this face and persona even after his apparent 'death' at the end of "Last of the TimeLords."
Also since the Time Lords monitored and could influence the number of regenerations with their deaths perhaps the number of times a Time Lord can regenerate has been affected. Maybe their will be no limit to the number of times he can regenerate.
Anyway we had best get used to the 11th Doctor. Matt Smith has been contracted to do 5 series. So that would be series 5-9. So assuming it is yearly serieses then we won't have another regeneration until 2015. Which if you look at it 3 Doctors in around 10 years. Thats good. 9th - 2005, 10th - 2010, 11th - 2015???
maybe when the doctor is about to die on his like last regeneration he says to his companion "get me to the TARDIS.."
and when he gets there, the heart of the TARDIS opens. and it suddenly starts moving, and he appears to be floating in space where the planet Galifrey would be.
Then he has a flash in his mind, with the time lords dieing. and lets say, when they were about to die the head of the time lords say to the doctor "you will not perish.." and at the time of the war the doctors just like.. WHAT???
but then he sees the flash back when he dies. and then he gets back his normal self, and also a few extra regenerations?? :P
lol thanks for reading my idea :)
