Behind the scenes
- Main article: 2012 Olympics
The Tenth Doctor's involvement in the 2012 Olympics sparked a petition from fans all over the world wishing David Tennant to carry the Olympic Torch. The petition was, at its end, signed by a grand total of nearly 40,000 people.[1]
Unfortunately, this did not end up happening. In fact, Doctor Who in the end barely ended up getting featured at all. Although a big, commemorative video for the UK's staple science fiction series was produced and was planned to appear along with an appearance of the TARDIS, this whole presentation was cut last-minute.[2] Only the TARDIS materialisation sound effect appeared at the opening ceremony in the end, during Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Doctor Who's Matt Smith on Olympic torch relay run - London 2012 - BBC News
Matt Smith carries the torch in Cardiff.
Despite the show's absence in the opening ceremony itself, it did gain a small presence during the torch-bearing process. On 26 May 2012, Eleventh Doctor actor Matt Smith carried the Olympic torch from the historic Norwegian Church in Cardiff Bay to the National Assembly building, as part of the torch's tour around the United Kingdom.[3]
