They're gonna run out of regenerations.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | TV and Radio | Eccleston quits Doctor Who role

Ok back when William Hartnell got sick and the writers needed to come up with a way to change main characters on a wildly popular show the came up with the idea that Time Lords (the Doctor's race) can regenerate 12 times. In 1966 that probably seemed like a good idea, I mean this things not gonna be around for 30 years right? Well, as it turns out it has been. Now with Eccelston leaving the show that's nine guys who have played the Doctor. The next one up will be the tenth, and the ninth regeneration.
