The Fifteenth Doctor looking up with his mouth open after catching baby Ruby Sunday in Doctor Who The Church on Ruby Road.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Steven Moffat addresses Doctor Who's ever-changing regeneration rules, sharing his perspective on how every retcon such as additional cycles and the Timeless Child revelations fit into the expanding lore of the series. Moffat made his return to the sci-fi series for the first time since 2017 to pen a new story for Doctor Who season 14 with "Boom", as Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor is trapped on a landmine.

I'll tell you the truth about The Doctor's regeneration. He's always had an infinite number of regenerations because it wasn't like we were ever going to stop the show because he ran out! ‘Oh, I have to stop now. It's number 13.’ That was never going to happen. So it's always been a narrative contrivance. There are no contradictions.

So no, there's, there's no contradiction there at all. And the fact is Doctor Who will keep finding new faces for as long as we need him to and by whatever narrative contrivance comes to hand at that point.
