Doctor Who's regeneration was initially presented as a harrowing experience, but the modern series presents it more as a fantastical rebirth.
Since 2005, modern Doctor Who has taken a very different approach to regeneration that forgets the disturbing truth of its real-world origins. Introduced in 1966, the concept of regeneration ensured the longevity of Doctor Who when actor William Hartnell stepped down from the role due to ill health and enmity with his producers. Since then, regeneration has allowed Doctor Who to recast its lead character multiple times, with each regeneration becoming a relaunch for the show.
