We still have the Christmas special to look forward to after this series, plus another thirteen episodes with a whole new Doctor! That means a regeneration is in store, too. I'm very excited. I actually think this could work very well for the future of the series. This really could be the show that lives forever. Think of it. There is no limitation due to actors -- even if the Doctor decides not to continue, all you need to do is recast the role. The same goes for companions. After six, eight, ten or more years, the series might begin to lose its way. This is to be expected -- it happens to every good show. But it might be cancelled... but so what? Cancellation certainly doesn't mean the end for Doctor Who. In another five to fifteen years, the right mind will come along, walk into the BBC's head office and say, "It's time to bring back Doctor Who." Absolute genius, this is. Long live Doctor Who indeed!
