I don’t think I’ve watched an opening ceremony in twenty or so years, let alone any of the sports (real or otherwise) in the Olympics, so I’m a bit out of the loop info-wise. I tried Googling, but was inundated with gobbledygook.
Doctor Who fans know exactly why I’m asking the question, and can probably answer it with a link in two seconds. Anyone know?
Not that I’ve heard of, but then I’ve not been following the olympics news closely so probably not your best insider source. I’d be using google the same as you, so if that doesn’t say I can’t tell you anything.
I can’t see why he would, given it’s the rest of the slots are given by a selection committee to people who have done worthy things and should have some acclaim (although it might be a nice surprise they pull out at the last minute, and I do know exactly why you’re asking to).
I think it would be very cool if every doctor who actor still alive past the torch from one to the next in chronological order (or maybe backwards given the whole time travelery thingy).
Definitely. But she should act like she’s just part of the crowd when one of the Doctors drops it and she picks it up to hand it to the next one, oblivious to what her subconscious (and timey-wimey stuff) did to put her in that position.
I think having David Tennant carry it would only serve to remind everyone just how crummy “Fear Her” really was. If that episode wasn’t the worst of Tennant’s tenure in the TARDIS, it certainly comes pretty close.
Um … welcome to the SDMB. Did you de-lurk just for this or is this a random “I hate David Tennant” post? Scouring the Internet for mentions of his name? Either weird or welcome (or weird welcome).
