The Doctor's last line is "The hybrid [...] is me." Or is it "The hybrid [...] is Me" ?
e. Although...
The Doctor's dead now. They need to rename the show. That's just a clone of him. If he claims to be 2000 years old (or 2 billion?) he's telling a big porkey - as of now he's about 6 hours old.

I think he was saying that is how teleported work--they are like 3D printers. So the moment he teleporters there, it wasn't the original. But whether it constitutes a new doctor or not, that is venturing into some tricky territory.
Yeah - like, if he'd had another power source available, could he have cloned up a load of extra Doctors?
It's kind-of hard to tell how literally to take the whole confession-wheel experience. I think it literally happened from the Doctor's perspective, but whether it took place out in normal reality or was all part of some self-contained pocket universe is less clear. Is the Doctor now billions of years into the future, or did that time only pass within the confines of the device?
