The Doctor didn't DIE?
A lot of fans were disappointed to find that The Doctor didn't regenerate in this Christmas Special, despite a lot of the promotional content implying he would. Both the Series 4 Trailer 5 and Christmas Trailer appeared to show The Doctor in pain and about to regenerate.
So WHY didn't he?
We wanted to do something different. Regenerations at Christmas are VERY cliché, every Doctor of New Who have regenerated at Christmas apart from Eccleston (and technically Tennant on New Years Day) so we wanted to leave it as a surprise and shock for the audience. Plus we'd prefer people enjoyed the story instead of wishing upon an actor's departure,
When WILL he regenerate?
At some point during Series 5... whether its the beginning, middle or end. But he will definitely regenerate, casting and work has already begun on future plans up until 2021.
When will Series 5 come out?
Towards the end of 2019... which is a while away (At least its closer than the BBC's Series 12) but we will have a trailer for the series next month.
Who is The Next Doctor? Or are you bluffing?
Next Month! ... you'll all find out then.
