Regeneration Impossible was the fifth story of the tenth season of Big Finish Productions' Short Trips series. It was performed by Jacob Dudman.

Publisher's summary

The Doctor is in his TARDIS atop a cloud above Victorian London. He’s retired, no longer interfering in the affairs of others. There’s nothing that could make him help anyone else. Except, perhaps, the lure of another Time Lord...

The Doctor is locked in a mortuary in Victorian London, dying. He can’t escape and doesn’t know how to keep himself alive. Just when he thinks it can’t get any worse, he finds himself locked in with the one person he hates most in the entire universe.

Himself.

Notes

  • From the Eleventh Doctor's perspective, this story is set shortly before The Snowmen. (DWM 551)
  • From the Twelfth Doctor's perspective, this story is set soon before The Pilot. (DWM 551) In the story, he identifies the year he's come from as 2017, and notes he's been teaching for 70 years.
  • Unusual for a Short Trips story, Jacob Dudman performs the story as an audio drama rather than narrated from the third person.
  • This story was recorded on 24 April 2019 at the Soundhouse.
