==History== | Despite their belief of such a thing being a [[myth]], '''the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] underwent a [[bi-generation]]''', in which he was split into two versions; himself and the [[Fifteenth Doctor]]. | ||
===Cause=== | |||
Whilst confronting [[the Toymaker]], the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] challenged him to a game, the third they had played overall. However, as both of their games up to that point had been played by different incarnations, the first game by the [[First Doctor]], and their second by the Fourteenth Doctor, the Toymaker declared that the next game must be played | The Doctor's previous [[regeneration]], [[Thirteenth Doctor's regeneration|going from]] the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] to the Fourteenth, had been only about 15 hours earlier.

=== A day to come === | |||
When [[Time (mythology)|Time]] "reunified" the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] into a singular body after she had been split into three, Time taunted the Doctor by asking "for how long" she would remain "unified". ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Vanquishers (TV story)}}) | |||

However, as both of their games up to that point had been played by different incarnations, the first game by the [[First Doctor]], and their second by the Fourteenth Doctor, the Toymaker declared that the next game must be played by the [[Fifteenth Doctor|next Doctor]] and shot him through the chest with a [[galvanic beam]], causing him to seemingly [[Regeneration|regenerate]]. | |||
=== Two Doctors === | |||
However, instead of changing his appearance as usual, the Fourteenth Doctor recognised that something was different and asked [[Donna Noble]] and [[Melanie Bush]] to pull on his arms, causing him to begin to separate into two distinct incarnations, to the confusion of all present. The two Doctors greeted each other excitedly before pushing against each other to complete their separation. | However, instead of changing his appearance as usual, the Fourteenth Doctor recognised that something was different and asked [[Donna Noble]] and [[Melanie Bush]] to pull on his arms, causing him to begin to separate into two distinct incarnations, to the confusion of all present.

Now separated, both Doctors challenged the Toymaker to their final game, which they won, with the Fourteenth Doctor banishing the Toymaker from [[existence]] as his reward. With a mallet in hand, the Fifteenth Doctor claimed his reward too by splitting [[The Doctor's TARDIS|their TARDIS]] in two, so that he could continue adventuring while the Fourteenth Doctor could remain behind on [[Earth]] to undergo [[rehabilitation]], and heal from lifetimes of trauma, with the [[Noble family]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) | |||
The Fourteenth Doctor was not sure what lay ahead for him in the future, but wondered if one day he would fade from existence, with his future already secure in his successor. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Giggle (novelisation)}}) | |||
After encountering [[Maestro]], the [[child]] of the Toymaker, the Fifteenth Doctor would go on to describe the process of bi-generation as having "torn his [[soul]] in half" and feared that he would be unable to survive another. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Devil's Chord (TV story)}}) | |||
== Behind the scenes == | |||
Prior to the airing of ''The Giggle'', the images of both the newly bigenerated Fifteenth Doctor, first seen in the trailer following {{cs|The Power of the Doctor (TV story)}}, and the Fourteenth Doctor preparing to "regenerate", as seen in the trailer following {{cs|Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)}}, were modified to remove the appearance of UNIT HQ. | |||
