4. You either hate it or love it

Regenerations are very common at the end of a series of Doctor Who, and there have been twelve doctors so far who have regenerated. This is so that a new actor or actress can play the leading role. It’s very upsetting when your favourite Doctor passes, but you do grow to love the next. The best thing about the TV show is that the regenerations bring different characteristics to The Doctor.
