How will Doctor Who carry on when he runs out of regenerations.
i don't think he should run out of regenerations and will keep living or a girl doctor shall come and take his place cause we still have to find out what happened to jenny the doctors daughter
It is true that timelords only have 12 regenerations (13 versions of themselves) but there was technology on Gallifrey that gave them more (that's why The Master had unlimited regenerations) and I'm sure that the Doctor will either find some or make some himself. Or, as mentioned before, I'm sure the Tardis will save him.

That tech was not why The Master regenerated past his 12th regen. He stole aomeone else's body to live longer.
We know from the first time the Doctor met River in the library, she said, "I've never seen you this young before." That seems that the Doctor will eventually live longer between regenerations.
The other thing, I believe it was in "The parting of ways", when Rose asorbed the vortex of the tardis. The Doctor took the energy from her into nhimself.That event resulted in his regeneration. It is feasable to believe that event changed or rebooted the Doctor's regeneration cycle. To support this idea, remember Captain Jack? It was the same energy that brought him back to life and and made him unable to die. He eventually evolved into the face of Boe and lived for millions of years. What could that energy do to a timelord?

It was not the vortex energy per se that brought Captain Jack back to life. It was Rose using the energy to bring him back to life and she overdid it.
The Star Trek franchise has taught us that writers love the idea that THEIR timeline is the only one that matters. So it's entirely possible our Doctor #11 will not stay that way for very much longer. Our Matt Smith could very well wind up being, for example, only Doctor #5 in the timeline we're seeing now and the Doctors we know as numbers 1-6 would be from a different reality.
Remember how Bobby Ewing was brought back on Dallas? If the producers want something to happen, IT WILL, and if logic gets in the way, well, that's just too bad!
well actually his regenerations are unlimited. They are gonna change it in the Sarah Jane adventurers. Apparently someone asks the doctor how many times he can regenerate and he says its unlimited. I'm pretty sure this isn't a rumor. I'm not just spreading stuff around. if you wanna see the article here is a link link
he could carry on,but it would have to be a compatable body.a human body would start to degrade badly after a while because of the artron energy he uses to regenerate.and body temp is also a factor as well about[60 degrees if memory serves]
Well the 11th Doctor rebooted to whole universe in "The Big Bang" so really the 12th regen. is in a completely "Different Reality." (11th Doctor) So this topic is now completely open to what ever the writers come up with.
1- The Doctor is the last of the Time Lords
2- The absorption of the time vortex gave him some more
3- Rose absorbing the time vortex gave him eternal life for her Doctor protection against the Daleks , she didn't know he can regenerate at the time.
4- River gave the rest of her regeneration to the Doctor, in Let's Kill Hitler.
The Doctor has much more regenerations then we think, and can have some more in so many ways!!! :D
