[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] According to the fandom, it's generally accepted that they DO age, but very slowly - there's no discounting how much older Tom Baker looked after his seven years on the show, for example, or how much older Sly McCoy was after three years plus the seven between the end of the TV show and the movie. Even Hartnell, who left because of his age, stated before his regeneration that his body was "wearing a bit thin". Time Lords on Gallifrey apparently regenerate on a semi-regular basis, as evidenced in "The Invasion of Time" when one Time Lord asks another if he's due for his. They probably regenerate by choice every couple centuries before they get TRULY old and are thus unable to maintain their positions in the Citadel, etc. President Borusa went though FOUR incarnations during the Baker and Davison years, proving either that a long time had passed between the Doctor's visits, or that Borusa was very accident-prone. What I interpret the Doctor's words to Rose as meaning, is that he won't be able to grow old WITH Rose, which is something she probably would have wanted. To her he would never age, and on some level he leaves some of his companions because he doesn't want them to grow old while he remained the same age. He could deal with it, but he knows they wouldn't. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
