So I'm watching Doctor Who Revisited, the one where they talk about the Eighth Doctor (which I've never actually seen) and they showed the scene where he regenerates from Seven to Eight.

BUT DOESN'T HE HAVE TO BE INSIDE THE TARDIS IN ORDER TO REGENERATE?

Or is everything I remember wrong?

I'm so confused right now.

River regenerated in that Hitler's office and in an alleyway, so no, I dont think he needs to be inside the TARDIS to regenerate.

True, but River was also New And Different, LOL.

But remember in the episode where the thing on Donna's back makes her never meet the Doctor? And he dies in the sewer because she wasn't there to stop him? I thought the whole point of that was he died because they couldn't get him back to the TARDIS in time. If he could have just regenerated anywhere, then why do we care that she wasn't there to save him?

To answer all of your questions, there is a full Wikipedia page dedicated specifically to the regeneration of The Doctor:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_(Doctor_Who)

Of course there is!

They completely make it up as they go along. They didn't even come up with the regeneration until they needed to change actors the first time.

Also, the rumors are that Moffat is pretty much going to make up something entirely new to get around the regeneration limit:

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.

Doctor Who is a bit like LOST; nothing *actually* makes sense, but it's such a good show otherwise that you don't really care. I am finally finished with season 4 and plan to finish season 5 on my TDay break.
