Yes, as I remember it. Been a long time.

Nope, he was on a time lord space station.

Just after Jamie and Zoe were sent back to their worlds, the Time Lords passed sentence on him. The sentence was to be exiled on Earth and have a new appearance. They showed him several to choose from, but he couldn't choose, so they said they'd pick for him.

Next thing you know it shows his face being blurred, with other blurred images floating around it. While he protests that they can't do this to him, his face sorta morphs into Pertwee's, but still somewhat blurred. Then the final credits come on.

Since it shows him falling out of the TARDIS already changed in Spearhead from Space, they likely dumped him into the TARDIS after the regeneration and then set the controls for Earth.

I do remember seeing a video clip of that now. I had forgotten what happened.

The first minute of The Eleventh Doctor was released.

Saturday can't get here fast enough!

Just finished watching it, as I forgot I had downloaded it earlier this afternoon. Not a bad start for Mr Smith as the good Doctor. I liked it. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I snagged it overnight. Forgot it had come on when I went to bed. So before i turned in, I started and had it by this morning. Depending on Easter plans, I might get a chance to watch it this evening.

I'm confused ... I have watched the first 2 minutes of 11'th hour ...

When did the Doctor regenerate? Does it flash back in this episode as to how and when this happened?

... or ... did I miss an episode along the way?
