Growing Old

      Despite their regenerative powers, Time Lords cannot fight old age forever. After spending hundreds of years defending the planet Trenzalore from alien armies, the Eleventh Doctor becomes wrinkled and gray. He knows that he has used up all his available regenerations and that, this time, death will be final - or so he thinks.


      Having moments before believed he was facing certain death, and being willing to die for the people of Trenzalore, the Doctor welcomes this unexpected gift from the remaining Time Lords.        


      It is a faithful companion Clara who appeals to the Time Lords to save the dying, aged Eleventh Doctor. They give him another lifecycle and he uses the excess regeneration energy to destroy the Daleks invading Trenzalore.
