The Doctor has never been good at regeneration (he repeatedly struggles with it as early as Jon Pertwee and particularly badly with Peter Davidson) but other Time Lords can control their regenerations (Romana) and with number Ten, we get the sense that The Doctor forcibly held back his regeneration for an extended period, because he didn't "want to go". | |

Twelve's face definitely isn't random, and nor was one of the earlier ones (Three? Four?). Have we ever had confirmation that most of the faces are random? | |
