Forget The Deadly Assassin, Doctor Who Is Immortal

It's one of those Pub Quiz facts: how many times can Doctor Who regenerate? The answer, from 1976 to yesterday was twelve. From today it's infinity. The Guardian has news of how this little retcon will be slipped into The Sarah Jane Adventures as a passing remark from The Doctor.

I can't quite decide whether this is RTD annoying fans, pleasing fans, or just a non-story. They were never going to stick to an arbitrary number that a writer in 1976 came up with were they?
