Only [[BBC Wales]] ''[[Doctor Who]]'' attempted to standardise the way regeneration looked. With ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'' came what is now the standard "golden glow explosion" (although the colour of the explosion is fiery orange in ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'' and is milky white in ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'', as well as rudimentary version of the effect appearing in [[TV]]: ''[[The Curse of Fatal Death (TV story)|The Curse of Fatal Death]]''). The subsequent [[Children in Need Special (TV story)|Children in Need Special]] established that there was residual "[[regeneration energy]]" after a transformation which had to be expelled through the mouth. This was seen again in ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'', ''[[The Eleventh Hour (TV story)|The Eleventh Hour]]'' and ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'' — though the latter narrative never made quite clear that [[Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter)|Jenny]] had actually regenerated. Davies later gave [[the Restoration]] as a narrative explanation why the Doctor's regenerations are now golden in ''[[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)|Doctor Who and the Time War]]''. | Only [[BBC Wales]] ''[[Doctor Who]]'' attempted to standardise the way regeneration looked.
