It was at the end of "End of Time" Part 2, after he defeats the Master and the Time Lords, and says goodbye to all his companions.
Incidently, I'm not fond of the way they handled Tennett's regeneration. I thought it was self-indulgent and over the top.
But this is kind of my complaint with the way Davies ran DW in his tenure, he tended to load things down with emotion and forgot to have as much fun.
i dont think the Doctors are having fun when they regenerate Joe...is it supposed to be a fun time?....
no, but it's also not supposed to be over the top.
"I'm so badly injured I am going to go back in time and say goodbye to all of my companions. Then I'm going to find the granddaughter of the woman who I breifly fell in love with when I was disguised as a human. Then I'm going to swing by, borrow money from Donna's dead dad, go into the future and find out what the winnig lottery tickers are, then go back and buy a ticket and give it to Donna on her wedding day."
The other times, Regeneration is, you get injured, you regenerate, new Actor. They did not drag it out for 20 minutes of sorrow.
Yeah, but the other times, it was something the killed him faster, this time I think he died from a massive dose of radiation. Radiation doesn't kill that quickly. That's why those of us on the west cost are still alive after the disaster of Fukishima.
