The first doctor was probably the orginal one, so he didn't need to regerate. So you start at zero. Patrick Troughton, the 2nd Doctor, would be the first regeneration. Which is a faily safe deduction of you go off Peter David's first eppisode called 'The 5 Doctors.' Matt Smith would be the 10th regenration, which makes Peter Capaldi the 11th. It is very clear in the lore that you can have more than 12 regenerations, but that things start to go wrong. His old firend, teacher and sometimes alley sometimes enemy The Master has gome way beyond 12. It might be part of the reason he is a homisidal maniac. 2 year old Spoiler: River brought him back to life, it wasn't a regeneration. If you want to look at some of the old lore I recomend going back to the Tom Baker days and look The Brain of Morbius. If he can get more Elixir of Life, then who knows what is possible - they like to break the laws of physic and time anyway. But they haven't talked about the fate of the the Sisterhood of Karn since we learned of Galefery's fate. Most of the Time Lordw can actually control their regeneration, as they can the camelion circut on the TARDIS. His fellow Time Lord companion Romana tried out several defferent species and bodies once before she decided on one. |
He may have been the first doctor but that doesnt mean he was the first of his personalities/bodies. He may just been the first to call himself The Doctor. Anyway point being, he isnt running out. He already would be out. Even not counting the first the new one would be the 13th so that takes him past 12 that we know of
