She said he looked younger than the Doctor she knew. There is deffo going to be a River Song story in a future ep, especially since she was Moffat's creation.
Ergo, Tennent will have to look older, which means he has to stay at least another ten years.
What I am basically trying to do, is scrape the bottom of the barrel 
Ayoade would make a great companion.
You know the 'regeneration' in the last episode - does that count as a real regeneration (because he healed himself) and therefore Tennant is the tenth and the eleventh doctor? And hasn't Doctor Who only got a limit of 12 regenerations...

Or just an older actor?

No, it wasn't a regeneration. He harnessed the energy of one, but didn't actually regenerate.

Now THAT is a damned good point!

He would only have one hand then though; he only grew another one last time because he'd only just regenerated when it was cut off. As much as I like Tennant, and I think he's been great, one of the very best, I am feeling a bit itchy to see someone else tackle the part. Sorry Zooo! 
No - it won't grow back this time, it was only because the regeneration lasted such a long time last time that there was enough hanging around for him to grow a new hand.

Ouch. Like they do in obscure African tribes?
I wouldn't know what goes on in bongo bongo land.
