Thus, he resigned from the role. There's anecdotal support for this financial focus. For example, when asked by Terry Wogan if he was happy to be back in the role for the stage show 'The Ultimate Adventure', he replied: "Oh, sure, the money's good. Pertwee's also on record as saying he didn't get a lot of money for Doctor Who , and Tom Baker often talks of teasing Pertwee about how much money he got paid for events.
He fought with directors, writers and, crucially, producers and is quite happy to 'fess up to his difficult nature. On numerous occasions, Tom has said that he handed his "notice" in at the end of every year but was talked back into staying as the Doctor the most popular to date at that time. But when producer John Nathan-Turner came along, attitudes changed. JNT, as he is affectionally known, wanted to bring the show into the futuristic decade that was the '80s.
Who got a shiny makeover. A makeover that would see Baker's notice finally accepted. Perhaps one of the most clear-cut reasons, here. Davison took Troughton's advice of not staying longer than three years despite producer John Nathan-Turner asking for him to stay. He did say, however: "It was very demanding, so I was too tired to feel sad when it was all finally over. Over the years, Davison has expressed regret at not doing a fourth season in the TARDIS due to the rise in quality of scripts during his third and final season with classics like his swan song, 'The Caves of Androzani'.
He'd already handed his notice in by this time, so the decision was made. Although Colin once stated he wanted to beat Tom's record in the role, he ended up being the Doctor for the shortest time to date.
Whilst the show wasn't canned, Colin was. It was to be a short-lived victory, however, as Eccleston left the show after only one season. He's never explained in detail why he left, only citing unexpected difficulties during the first season's production. Eccleston has always declined to return for anniversary specials and didn't hit the convention circuit until very recently, but his Doctor is still the reason the show got off the ground again.
Davies made his second brilliant choice of Doctor with David Tennant. Lacking Eccleston's name recognition, Tennant still immediately made the role his own with his easy charm, quick wit, and, for the first time, his penchant for romance.
His star-crossed relationship with companion Rose Tyler Billie Piper is one of the more polarizing aspects of his run, but it brought in a massive new audience of Doctor Who fans. Tennant stayed in the role for three seasons and an additional year of specials, but decided to depart the role when Davies stepped down as the show's producer. He was tempted to stay on one more year with new producer Steven Moffat, but ultimately decided it was time to move on. Matt Smith had some giant Converse sneakers to fill.
After Tennant's dizzyingly successful run, there was some trepidation over how the show would thrive without the Tenth Doctor and Russel T.
Those worries were almost immediately alleviated when it became apparent Smith - the youngest actor to play the Doctor at 26 - was born for the role. His first season is still among the show's very best, and his tenure saw the show's popularity explode in America. After three years in the role, and finding himself burned out by the show's intense shooting schedule, Smith decided to bow out, copying the "three years and out" rule established by Troughton and Davison.
Smith has admitted he may have left the role sooner than he should have, and seems like a sure thing to be back in the TARDIS for anniversary specials in the future.
A lifelong Doctor Who fan, Capaldi was the oldest actor since William Hartnell to play the role, and brought an alien, slightly abrasive energy to the show that worked wonders. Like so many before him, Capaldi decided to leave the TARDIS behind after his third year in the role, citing the show's grueling schedule and a desire to work on other projects.
Most importantly, he wanted to leave the role while he still loved it, refusing to let his relationship with Doctor Who degenerate like it did for Tom Baker and others. Like everyone else, Peter Capaldi wants to always love Doctor Who , which is tough to argue against.

Doctor Who has always been at its most compelling when it has deep, emotional and personal consequences for the Doctor and their companions — but series 12 seems to mostly favour the classic and largely uninspired Earth-is-in-danger plot. Why is vetinari a woman? How does SCP kill? Jodie Whittaker returns for her third and final series as the Thirteenth Doctor , the most recent incarnation of the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in the TARDIS, which appears to be a British police box on the outside.
Whittaker will bow out after a new six-episode series later this year and three specials in The regeneration limit was a rule enforced by the high counsel, not a biological limit. The master exceeded his 12 so the doctor can too. They listened and gave The Doctor regeneration energy.
