I can't remember... have we reached the point yet where they have to explain how he's still regenerating even after he's run out of regenerations?
Cause it's gonna happen sooner or later (indeed, one wonders why they were ever foolish enough to put a limit in. Presumably because they came up some suitably large number, and when someone said "What if we actually go through that many doctors?" everyone just laughed at him, because it was a blatantly ridiculous idea).
Also, don't know the guy they picked, but I was really gunning for the Marquis De Carabas.
Mostly because he was the goddamn Marquis De Carabas, and I think that might be the only role in history that would actually prepare you for playing the doctor. Hell, they could have even brought over the idea of the coat full of random shite that he uses to get out of situations.
Not yet. A Time Lord can regenerate 12 times giving them 13 lives. The episode that this was introduced in, it was a major plot point involving the Master (who had used up all of his lives) trying to fight back against death. It sorta worked although he looked like a walking corpse for quite some time.

Never seen him in anything.
I also didn't realise quite how young Peter Davison (who is still Tristan from All Creatures Great and Small, for me) was when he took the role.
