Problem is, aside from centuries and thousands of years not ''automatically'' meaning the same thing, he says this to a Time Lord (not a human), who gives his age as 750 in the same serial, and concurs with Sarah Jane that this is middle aged for him. And assuming the Twelfth Doctor's figure of "over 2000" in series 8-10 is accurate, the Fourth Doctor ''normally'' lives for at least 1300 years beyond this point in his life.

::The second point is well-taken, but not the first: if I'm not mistaken, Sutekh makes this threat to the Doctor when demanding that the Doctor identify himself to him; he does not yet ''know'' he is talking to a fellow nigh-immortal. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:25, May 19, 2020 (UTC) | |||
