Here's what I heard (obviously big spoilers for the Giggle if they prove to be correct):[SPOILER="14th Doctor Regeneration Spoilers"]What I heard was that 14th will regenerate into two versions: Ncuti's 15th on the one hand, and Tennant continuing as 14th on the other. If that proves to be correct, it will mean that Tennant will never have given up the Doctor's role officially, with the possibility of a Tennant return being forever possible. I'd dislike it since it means Ncuti will always be doubted as a "real doctor", and it will mean that Modern Who will forever keep Tennant as a crutch, an incarnation to return in case ratings get too low again. Of course, these are all rumours, so we'll see how things will go.One way they could do "Tennant splits off into his own incarnation" justice is, of course, if they declare that incarnation to be the Valeyard. Seeing Tennant's doctor turn evil would be quite interesting and would fulfil the "The Valeyard is an evil amalgamation of the doctor's past incarnations, somewhere between his 12th and final regeneration" from all the way back, and also wouldn't carry the same "DW is forever beholden to Tennant to keep ratings in check" crutch. But like I said, we'll see how things will go.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
