    • Note: Forced to regenerate by the Time Lords, the Doctor can't pick an appearance but is too late as he is sentenced to death. However, the Time Lords do not actually carry out the execution in the end, and merely send him on missions for them, giving the official sentence in the Matrix logs as "exile". After a while, The Doctor escapes and some time later animated scarecrows created by the Time Lords carry out the regeneration and his exile begins...
