"that might work, as long as they didn't wait more than a season or two before the answer is revealed": Here, I'd say that how long they could spin it out would depend on how they did it. Properly handled, it could be kept going for quite a long time; badly handle, it'd get annoying very quickly. -- (I was 78.146.189.157 but I expect it's changed again) [[Special:Contributions/89.242.75.93|89.242.75.93]] 22:22, December 6, 2011 (UTC) | "that might work, as long as they didn't wait more than a season or two before the answer is revealed": Here, I'd say that how long they could spin it out would depend on how they did it.

Yeah, but repairing the TARDIS really just became one of his hobbies. He was just as likely to be working on improving Bessie, or playing with one of his other gadgets. The real plot arc there was his exile on Earth, of which his attempts to repair the TARDIS were only a small part. His exile was, of course, given a great deal of prominence, given that most of his episodes were set in modern-day Earth, working for UNIT. I suppose a better example of what you are suggesting might be his (attempted) trip to Metebelis III, when he was always trying to get there, but would inevitably end up somewhere else. If the plot arc was in the background like this, then people would get bored of it after a season or two. If it was in the foreground (more like this year's plot arc), then they might be able to drag it on a bit longer. Still, I think people would get really annoyed with the Doctor simply not knowing why he regenerated.
