When his regeneration was triggered, the Fourteenth Doctor accepted the change, reassuring Donna and Mel that it "[was] not dying", though he was still saddened. However, his sadness quickly changed to confusion when it turned out to be a bi-generation, though he was elevated with the results regardless. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Giggle (TV story)}}) | |||

* The idea of the Doctor regenerating into a prior incarnation's likeness was previously proposed by series creator [[Sydney Newman]] during a [[1986 (releases)|1986]] meeting with [[BBC One]] controller [[Michael Grade]], who asked Newman for ways to reformat the program after [[Colin Baker]] was dismissed from the role of the [[Sixth Doctor]]. According to the [[1996 (releases)|1996]] book ''[[The Eighties|Doctor Who – The Eighties]]'', Newman specifically envisioned [[Patrick Troughton]], who previously played the [[Second Doctor]], portraying the Seventh Doctor for a single season before regenerating into a female eighth incarnation. | * The idea of the Doctor regenerating into a prior incarnation's likeness was previously proposed by series creator [[Sydney Newman]] during a [[1986 (releases)|1986]] meeting with [[BBC One]] controller [[Michael Grade]], who asked Newman for ways to reformat the program after [[Colin Baker]] was dismissed from the role of the [[Sixth Doctor]].

* The Fourteenth Doctor is the first incarnation since the Second Doctor to emerge from their [[regeneration]] with a new outfit. This deviation from the usual norm of the newly-regenerated Doctor still donning the clothes worn by their predecessor led to some confusion among viewers until [[Russell T Davies]] clarified that "[he] was very certain that [he] didn't want David [Tennant] to appear in Jodie [Whittaker]'s costume", explaining that his reason for the Doctor's clothes changing during regeneration was to avoid stereotyping "the notion of men dressing in 'women's clothes', [and] the notion of drag", describing it as a "very delicate" matter, expressing that "it has to be done with immense thought and respect", and that the media would make it "look like mockery" of that culture, especially as David Tennant is taller than Jodie Whittaker.<ref>https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-david-tennant-regeneration-costume-twist-newsupdate/</ref> | * The Fourteenth Doctor is the first incarnation since the Second Doctor to emerge from their [[regeneration]] with a new outfit.
