[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] 900 years was a Davies invention. He knew (everyone knew) that the Doctor was around 750 through much of his fourth incarnation. The sixth Doctor mentioned he was 900 years old, and in the very first story of the seventh, he explicitly states his age as 953. Depending on how you follow the novel continuities, the eigth Doctor was 1100 years old by the time he started (and the seventh was visibly aged). Most people in the fandom figure the last two incarnations have been a little vain for being so old - so 900 years could be a Gallifreyan 39. I think we're just waiting for Romana to show up again and set things straight. As for his ninth incarnation lasting "only" a year, well, that's what regeneration is all about. You don't use it to live forever - you use it to avoid getting killed. Also, it seems to imply that there was no real break between Rose and Martha, even though there is supposed to be a period in which the Doctor travelled alone following "Doomsday". The whole point is that Davies has established his own continuity which is mostly consistent within his series; regardless of the details, this is far better than the 26 year run, which was frequently inconsistent within single episodes.
