With David Tennant having taken his final journey as nation's favourite Time Lord, here are some more classic regeneration clips from the Doctor's previous incarnations. Patrick Troughton's time as the Second Doctor was brought to an end when the Doctor was sentenced to exile on Earth and told to take on a new appearance by the Time Lords.

'The time has come for you to change your appearance and begin your exile.' It's not even implied, they say it outright. But that's not what happens, he's exiled, but doesn't regenerate. The war games is the first time the doctor goes back to gallifrey since he stole the TARDIS. But in the five/two doctors, he is working for them. He also had full control of the TARDIS, but he never did before the exile. In the two doctors, he has grey hair and mentions the fact that he's been exiled.

This is the last time he's onscreen besides multi doctor stories, but he didn't regenerate here.

This episode is one of the saddest in the show's history, in a good, well done way. Much like The Destruction of Time.

He was sentenced by the Time Lords due to the fact that he had broken their law of time line interference . The tardis originally landed in a zone occupied by a bunch of warlords that had brainwashed humans. as a result he sought out the Time Lords to return all of the humans back to their appropriate time lines.

@j0sheed00d He broke the law of time and space (i think) and he had to regenerate and start a exile on earth.

I always found it rather dark that the Second Doctor is essentially being executed and it's being played for LAUGHS.

@thanqualthehighseer SFDebris does pretty much EXACTLY that! Check out his video "Doctor Who 101".

actually the BBC had not yet hired the actor to replace Troughton, so all you see is him spinning around. Pertwee was hired shortly after this, thus the 3rd Doctor stumbles out of the Tardis instead of Troughton changing into Pertwee

The whole "change of appearance" thing feels so forced. With the concept of regeneration, it could be taken as an execution; they force him to end one of his lives and to experience the pain of death. But if it's a mere change of appearance, it's just so...underwhelming...like it couldn't be more obvious that real-life demands were writing the script.

Romana dealt with her regeneration with so much less drama
