** The General's regeneration is also the first instance in the revived series of a Time Lord regenerating while lying prone on the ground (as was usually the case in the classic series), former showrunner [[Russell T Davies]] having previously mandated that all post-2005 regenerations were to be shown with the Time Lord stood at their feet throughout the process. | ** The General's regeneration is also the first instance in the revived series of a Time Lord regenerating while lying prone on the ground (as was usually the case in the classic series), former showrunner [[Russell T Davies]] having previously mandated that all post-2005 regenerations were to be shown with the Time Lord stood at their feet throughout the process.{{Fact}} | ||
