He is the kind of actor, other actors s dream about working with someday. If you watch Torchwood, he is really, really good.

I am a bit surprised by his age. But meh, the Doctor is well over 900 and running out of regenerations.

Is is an outstanding actor, I look forward to watching him.

That actually isnt true any more. I dont know the story but if you think about it, he is supose to 12 of them yet if you add in Hurt and the new guy, that gives him 13 regenerations. It could be from where River gave him her regeneration energy in one episode or it could just be dropped and forgotten but Matt Smith would be 12 and the last one so for him to regen into someone else, something has changed somewhere

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.

yes quite true, but the master Absorbed the life force of those he took over the body's from. after his 12th he was in a semi liquid energy form, kinda like protoplasm, the Time lord attacks the Mind of the person in a battle of will's for the body, if the time lord win's he consumer's the sould of the target. That is how the master was able to maintain some body's other like in the movie the body would advance decay, and he needed another time lord to rob them of their regenerations. there was other races, and on Gallifrey where a time lord could in fact get a whole set of new regenerations. but the black scrolls are kinda banned for time lords to use, that an the weapons in the for example
