The series' original incarnation was designed as a children's entertainment, with the Doctor's time-traveling adventures incorporating a semi-educational component in trips to ancient civilizations. Non-initiates may well assume that each new actor spells a complete reboot for the series, but turnover is built into the premise of the show: the Doctor is of an alien race called the Time Lords, who have the ability to completely regenerate their bodies upon "death" (unlike the proverbial cat, Time Lords have thirteen lives). In developing his revamp of the long-running science-fiction adventure series (1963-1989), Davies dialed up the speed on The Doctor's trademark smart mouth, and in inheriting the role of the Doctor from one-season-wonder Chris Eccleston, Tennant proved a perfect match for Davies' cheeky style. It's tempting to apply the term to the final hours of David Tennant's tenure as the Doctor on Doctor Who-as well as Russell T Davies, the departing executive producer-but if there's one thing Tennant and Davies haven't been over their respective four and six years working on the show, it's mute. The idiom "swan song" derives from a proverbial belief that swans live mute lives, only bursting into beautiful song moments before dying.
