So the BBC has a section on their website of FAQs about the Doctor. I couldn't resist some Doctor and Donna babble about it. I've taken out 2 FAQs that are slight spoilers for upcoming S4 eps, however I have referenced Forrest of the Dead in here.
The Doctor is the last of the Time Lords. We've no details of any other survivors, including Susan, The Rani, Romana or Chancellor Flavia. Please don't email us about this.
Don't count him [the Master] out - despite refusing to regenerate at the end of Last Of The Time Lords, he's come back from worse scrapes. However at this time there are no current plans for his return.
That's a story [the Time War] which hasn't yet been revealed.
Now that his people are gone, who knows [how many lives the Doctor has]? Time Lords used to have 13 lives.
On Doctor Who, most characters can be revived for the show. If anything is going to be returning / revived we will inform you on the website as soon as it's been officially announced.
According to Russell T Davies, it's up to the viewer to decide if Jack really is the Face Of Boe. If he is, the Doctor never said Jack would live forever. Details of his pregnancy aren't known, but being a 51st century guy, I'm sure it's possible at some point in the future.
What the Doctor says [to Rose in Doomsday] is purposely omitted. This is to allow the audience to make their own mind up.
You see extra areas of the TARDIS in certain episodes. The exact size or number of rooms is unknown, but we would imagine that there are quite a few.
He can't [go back to save his people], as this would go against his rules of time travel. As the destruction of Gallifrey has happened, it is now a fixed point in time. If he was to change its future the effects on the universe could be catastrophic.
Yes [the Doctor is half-human], on his mum's side. It was established in the Doctor Who TV Movie; however purists tend to disregard this.

- Donna: [snorts] Even I know that! It's not like I haven't heard it a million times. Turn up for breakfast and it's all "Morning. Time for some coffee for the last of the Time Lords." At which point you seem to assume that this means I'm making you coffee out of pity or something.
Doctor: That's never worked, has it?
Donna: Never will, either.
Don't count him [the Master] out - despite refusing to regenerate at the end of Last Of The Time Lords, he's come back from worse scrapes. However at this time there are no current plans for his return.
- Doctor: [rubs eyes] If the Master's coming back, please don't let him spit acid and hang out in bedrooms of couples who haven't had sex in ten years.
Donna: What?
Doctor: What?
That's a story [the Time War] which hasn't yet been revealed.
- Donna: So how 'bout it? Up for some revealing?
Doctor: Rocks fall, everyone dies.
Donna: A bit anti-climatic. You'd think there'd be some stories from a war.
Doctor: THERE WASN'T A WAR, OKAY? I ACCIDENTALLY FELL ON THE DESTRUCTION BUTTON OF RASSILON. YOU HAPPY NOW?
Donna: Whoa.
Now that his people are gone, who knows [how many lives the Doctor has]? Time Lords used to have 13 lives.
- Donna: A bit like a cat, only not.
Doctor: Don't tell anyone, but I'm really Fourteen. There was this incident with some bunnies and a few regenerations that I'd rather not talk about.
On Doctor Who, most characters can be revived for the show. If anything is going to be returning / revived we will inform you on the website as soon as it's been officially announced.
- Doctor: Seriously? [sets up to receive alerts from the site]
Donna: What about spoilers?
Doctor: Staying unspoiled or having your guts ripped out by the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal?
Donna: Screw being unspoiled.
According to Russell T Davies, it's up to the viewer to decide if Jack really is the Face Of Boe. If he is, the Doctor never said Jack would live forever. Details of his pregnancy aren't known, but being a 51st century guy, I'm sure it's possible at some point in the future.
- Doctor: [immediately decides that Jack isn't the Face of Boe due to the silly]
Donna: [is confused]
What the Doctor says [to Rose in Doomsday] is purposely omitted. This is to allow the audience to make their own mind up.
- Donna: So? What was it?
Doctor: I was going to tell her she left her shirt in the console room.
Donna: Really? Well that's lame. I thought it'd be something important! Something like telling her your real name!
Doctor: Don't be ridiculous. There's only one reason I would tell anyone my real name, and Rose wasn't wearing a sheep costume.
You see extra areas of the TARDIS in certain episodes. The exact size or number of rooms is unknown, but we would imagine that there are quite a few.
- Doctor: Actually there's only one room. The TARDIS simply applies a new desktop theme as needed.
Donna: So...you mean to tell me I've been going to the bathroom in here?
Doctor: [sighs] My life is a long string of having to close my eyes and cover my ears...
He can't [go back to save his people], as this would go against his rules of time travel. As the destruction of Gallifrey has happened, it is now a fixed point in time. If he was to change its future the effects on the universe could be catastrophic.
- Donna: But aren't all points in time fixed?
Doctor: Nope. History can change like that! [clicks] [TARDIS doors open] BLOODY HELL. [clicks again]
Donna: So why in the world are certain points--
Doctor: Laws of Time.
Donna: But others are--
Doctor: LAWS OF TIME.
Yes [the Doctor is half-human], on his mum's side. It was established in the Doctor Who TV Movie; however purists tend to disregard this.
- Donna: Purists?
Doctor: Those LINDA types. The whole things is disinformation meant to distract people from finding out Mum was really a goldfish.
Donna: I can see it.
