Or at least get a soittoon.
Yes Matthew he is a Time Lord, Time Lords do not go around spitting out food or wine! It is very bad manners and The Doctor is a gentleman!!!

'Tis true, but the writers have conveniently ignored it.
Comes down to whether or not one believes the books and TV show to be separate entities.

I believe what seem logical to me. What function would regeneration serve if the Doctor became a blank slate every time?? It'd offer no opportunity for higher learning or extend their life.

Regeneration changes the Doctor's personality and can also cause mood swings and affect his memory. It doesn't cause him to forget everything from all but his previous incarnation.

That's what I was getting at but it was suggested he forgets knowledge as well.
Or perhaps he was just being scatty.
Reading between the lines I wonder what Mister Ecclestone isn't telling us??
Maybe just the day to day slog of being in every scene almost for nine months was too much? He couldn't face two years of doing that? Or he wanted to cry when he realised he'd be appearing opposite farting aliens??
I bet there's some quite juicy stuff to be revealed about it all one day though.
He was rubbish anyway, no loss.
