Remember when… the Tenth Doctor regenerated?
Tissues at the ready for this week’s Remember when…, as we say a fond farewell to yet another Doctor.
Cast your mind’s back to January 2010 – the start of a new year saw the end of an era, as David Tennant’s incarnation of our beloved Time Lord regenerated in spectacular style on New Year’s Day. Over 12 million people tuned in for his final moments in The End of Time, Part Two, and we are pretty sure that all of us were blubbing into our cushions as he left our screens (but not our hearts) forever…
What are your memories of the historic episode? Share your thoughts in the comments…
Above – The end is nigh as the Tenth Doctor realises there’s nothing he can do this time.
Talkin’ ’bout regeneration? You’ll be pleased to hear there’s more where that came from!
- Remember when… the First Doctor regenerated?
- Remember when… the Third Doctor regenerated?
- Remember when… the Fourth Doctor bid adieu?
It was terrible. He gets irradiated, goes on a joint chatting to all his companions, cries like a baby and then….. Matt Smith!! The worse off all regeneration’s.
I do remember the episode.Ive also got it on DVD.The regeneration or the ten fifteen minutes before go down in my book as the best piece of Dr Who ever produced.I had a skinful before I sat through this and yes,I did blub like a baby,me the tough security officer who had knocked heads together and shouted orders like I was on a parade ground.Dont get me wrong,the Matt Smith era had to pay its dues but to me,in those first few adventures he wasnt my doctor,he was an impostor and I was angry like in bereavement
I remember the regeneration sequence most of all;to be honest I bought the Specials boxset and EoT is the one I absoultely refuse to watch because everytime I encounter that scene I start bawling my eyes out.
it was bad i didnt want david to leave as the doctor he was my doctoer as i never watched doctor who in the 80s when i was born but david to me was and is the time lord
I really didn’t like the whole pathetic crying thing.
I was in denial about the whole thing and refused to watch The End of Time until last year! And yes, I did cry my eyes out when I watched it. The Tenth Doctor was MY Doctor, and it was horrible watching him go. When I first saw Matt Smith I was not impressed, but now I absolutely love him.
I agree full heartedly

Oh god… i remember the knot in my throat, it was very emotive giving true closure to all those years as the doctor… Then Matt Smith pops up and suddenly the whole mood is gone, his appearance felt more like an interruption than a presentation.
Rather enjoyed the Regen story , it was a New Year’s day special if memory serves
I don’t recall particularly being that emotional about it , but I do think it was an excellent regen sequence
I remember that I found it really upsetting, but I just seem to be incapable of crying at theses things, but for quite a while I felt there was a hole in my life and didn’t like Matt Smith, because the Tenth Doctor was MY DOCTOR and was the one I’ve grown up with, but now I’ve accepted Matt Smith as the doctor, and I’m going to be sad to see him go in his bow tie wearing glory. D:
Whatever people may think of the regeneration scenes, it was the episode where my Doctor died and that was a very powerful moment for me and I doubt I’ll ever forget that.
*sigh* I cried. Just like on the seventh book of harry potter.
ha ha, see what I did there?
Huh nevermind. I loved tennant, he was my doctor, though Matt is a close second.
That peter guy looks scary though…
