::: Well, he did restore his hand after it was sliced off at Christmas during the Sycorax invasion, but that stil required him to have triggered a complete regeneration beforehand.

::::The Doctor knows his TARDIS perfectly fine. If he didn't give away that he knew they were in the TARDIS before, he might have been saving it in case he couldn't get his sight back, and he had to do this very bluff.
