Tardis Sound Heard at Olympic Opening
Something “Doctor Who” at Olympic opening ceremony
The Tardis engines were briefly heard at the Olympic opening ceremony. Newspapers had reported the theme tune was on a list due to played at the event which evidently was untrue.
However videos taken by the public show that a montage of The Doctors was shown on a big screen at rehearsals.
Recorded TV Videos of the Tardis sound have been blocked.

July 30th, 2012 - 11:07amIsn’t this obvious! It was the doctor travelling back in time to prevent himself from carrying the Olympic torch because Donna would see the Doctor and her mind would burn!!!

July 29th, 2012 - 8:59pmI missed it and am very dissapointed that we got 4 bars of the Tardis noise. You could barely hear it.
Maybe there will be more in the closing ceremony??

July 28th, 2012 - 11:14pmI was watching it with my family (I’m the only one who watches Doctor Who) and I jump up from the couch I was laying on and yell “THAT WAS THE TARDIS” so my sister rewound it, I pointed it out, and they said it was just the song but NO I WAS RIGHT I KNOW THE TARDIS WHEN I HEAR IT.

July 29th, 2012 - 6:03pmI did the exact same thing!! The fastest I’ve moved in a long time when I heard the tardis! To bad they didn’t do more about it though.

July 28th, 2012 - 10:40pmOn the video when it goes to the crowd people are wearing 3d glasses trying to spot void ‘stuff’, maybe the daleks and the cybermen
Desariella

July 28th, 2012 - 5:42pmI know one thing: there’s still the CLOSING Ceremony.

July 28th, 2012 - 9:16pmyou meen the opening ceremony
Liz
July 28th, 2012 - 10:01pmEXACTLY. I won’t be too upset if it doesn’t happen though… but just the sound of the TARDIS is a good enough nod that I can be happy.
Desariella
July 28th, 2012 - 10:56pmThat’s what I said earlier. Or maybe if there is a DVD release of the Opening Ceremonies they will include a special extended version.
A lot of work went into those opening ceremonies. They were great. I really hope they do release a DVD version.

August 8th, 2012 - 8:20pmno mr anonymous…he didnt “meen” opening..he MEANT closing.
goukisan
August 8th, 2012 - 8:22pmDesa….how can their be an extended version????????????????????????????????? What was cut was cut they didnt go redo it and film it to release it later… So things like the Dr Who segment getting cut arent going to miraculously appear in an extended version. You can tell movies from real right?

August 12th, 2012 - 4:03pmOn amazon you can pre order a bbc olymic dvd which includes all ceremonys.
Ana
July 28th, 2012 - 5:30pmOh, I didn’t hear it because the mexican commentators wouldn’t shut up 🙁

Alejandra
July 28th, 2012 - 7:06pmlolol so true! They were literally describing everything that was going on!
Anonymous
July 28th, 2012 - 7:12pmI know right! I found out about the TARDIS noise through tumblr. The commentators wouldn’t shut up!
Some bloke
July 28th, 2012 - 9:56pmI watched that bit, but I think I was too busy trying to sing along with bohemian rhapsody. LOL
Fox Moldur
July 29th, 2012 - 9:54amIt thought they were french
Katie
July 31st, 2012 - 8:54amLol @ Fox Moldur there’s different commentators for each country. That’s why you heard French ones and Ana heard Mexican ones and the Anon post heard Russian ones and I heard Ryan Seacrest (American.) That way everyone can understand it in their own language and stuff.
Desariella
July 28th, 2012 - 4:25pmI too wish the whole thing had of been shown. But at least we got to hear the TARDIS.
Maybe the Daleks will crash the games? Or maybe Doctor Who will have a presence at the Closing Ceremonies.
