Summary: This won’t kill the Doctor, but it’s going to make his life rather difficult.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.
Regeneration was handy. When nearing death, the Doctor’s body simply underwent a transformation and he was fine again. Different body, different personality, but still essentially the same person.
That was all very clever, but unfortunately sometimes things happened to him that wouldn’t prove fatal, meaning that regeneration didn’t happen.
He wasn’t about to die, in fact he was further from death than he’d been for centuries, but being de-aged to approximately three-years-old was a nuisance.
The TARDIS controls were out of reach, and his legs were too short. Sighing, he toddled off to the kitchen for a cup of tea.
The End
