I'm not an expert about DOCTOR WHO, but that doesn't seem like much of a prediction, since the show is
about an alien travelling thru time and space who can regenerate his body.

Is that when Hartnell made his prediction? Did he use a ouija board?

'"Bill used to say in the very beginning that it could go on forever,"
she exclusively tells RadioTimes.com. "Because there's no reason for it
not to, because the Doctors can regenerate again and again and again,
and they can go anywhere and do anything so it wouldn't get stale."'

But I always thought that they only came up with the idea of
regeneration when Hartnell's time as the Doctor was coming to an end?
So if Hartnell was really saying right at the very beginning that the
show could go on for ever, it was pretty prescient of him.

No, William Hartnell didn't live long enough to see Doctor Who cancelled
by the BBC in 1989.
