Would sure a thing be possible?
As Colin Baker and Eccleston burned two regenerations pretty quickly, and Tennant seems unlikely to stay beyond a third year, that leaves three more Doctors. If we came to the end of incarnation 13, would they ignore the 12-regeneration canon?
Please discuss...

Well it'd be pretty easy to come up with a way around it. Coming up with a decent way around it might be tricky. That said, I've always wanted to see how it ends. Does the Doctor finally die to save the universe? Or just a single person? Does he find someone to take over so he can retire and live the remainder of his final incarnation in peace? Does he actually manage to rid the universe of all evil ever? I've brought this up a couple of times in other forums and I kept getting the impression nobody wanted an ending. Fair enough. I understand wanting your favourite series to go on, but for all these myriad adventures there has to be a point where he finally stops or what does it mean? Personally I'm getting older and I want to see the end before I kark it! The series is coming up for 43 now. Three Doctors after Tennant (fingers crossed). Wouldn't a little over 50 years of Who be something to celebrate? Perhaps with the ultimate DW story. How and why the Doctor's adventures finally end on TV. Me? I think perhaps the Doctor, in the final incarnation he thought he'd never survive to get to, gets a glimpse of his shortening future and contemplates whether he should stop now. In the end he decides to go out the way he came in and with renewed enthusiasm puts random coordinates into the console. The last shot is the TARDIS spinning away into space and the theme comes in with that uplifting middle eight part leading to the end credits.  |

Wow, imagine being the writer being tasked with ending Doctor Who? I don't think it should end, not in a final way, it should always be left open, it's such a positive show and I feel the ending should reflect that, that life goes on etc.
As for the 14th Doctor, I'm sure they'll find a way round that, but we still have a bit to go yet. The argument's always been that the Master was offered a new cycle of regenerations...who's to say that in the dying moments of the Timelord race they extended the Doctors life cycle so that he could carry on in their name?
