** When asked how old he is by the [[War Doctor]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]] says that he doesn't know and has lost track, settling on "Twelve hundred and something, I think, unless I'm lying." He goes on to say that he is so old he couldn't remember if he was lying about his age. | ** When asked how old he is by the [[War Doctor]], the [[Eleventh Doctor]] says that he doesn't know and has lost track, settling on "Twelve hundred and something, I think, unless I'm lying."

** The War Doctor in turn says that he's 400 years younger than the Eleventh Doctor at this point, making him approximately 800 years old. This would suggest that his successor may have travelled for about a century before first meeting Rose Tyler, as he tells her he is 900 years old. ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]'') Another logical conclusion is that the Ninth Doctor's memory of his age became clouded when his time stream was put back into sync after his birth, and he forgot the exact circumstances of when and where his predecessor regenerated. | ** The War Doctor in turn says that he's 400 years younger than the Eleventh Doctor at this point, making him approximately 800 years old.

* The incarnations of the Doctor previous to the last one attending (the War Doctor and the Tenth Doctor as opposed to the Eleventh Doctor, in the first place; the first twelve incarnations of the Doctor as opposed to the Twelfth Doctor, during the rescue of Gallifrey) aren't able to retain their memories of their meetings nor the events lived together because their timelines are out of sync. | |||
::''Despite this, the Tenth Doctor will remember to have married Queen Elisabeth.'' ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'') ''The Curator makes the Eleventh Doctor recall that Gallifrey is safe, nonetheless he is hinted as a future incarnation of the Doctor.'' | |||
