There's a fun theory that when 13 regenerates, things won't settle for quite some time and would force the Doctor to keep changing.

An unstable regeneration could be an arc that lasts for a few episodes, or even a whole series. It would all eventually lead to a final reveal of the true 14 at the end. Now we know regeneration is potentially limitless since the Timeless Child, it could be fun to see an arc where the Doctor isn't able to control the regeneration cycle.

Such a plot could be an interesting shape for a series and play into some comedic moments as well as open up a lot of darker avenues as well. Of course, it would have to have a good reason behind it with the why, what, where, when, who and how's being a satisfying pay-off.

It could also keep us on our toes, waiting to find out who will finally remain in the role going forward. It could be a massive opportunity for some of the rumoured big names and previous faces like Hugh Grant and David Tennant to make a comeback briefly.
