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 27th, 2012 - 11:04pmThere are rumors going round though that it may not be lit by an Olympian / Sportsman? This may not be true, we’ll just have to wait and see…

July 27th, 2012 - 11:01pmi dont think he will because it is normally an athelete who lights the flame not usually an actor.

July 27th, 2012 - 10:49pmWell, him and the others who were there didn’t actually get to see everything, so there might be more. However, I wouldn’t get your hopes up.

July 27th, 2012 - 10:44pmMy Dad was at the rehearsal for the Ceremony, and he said that the Doctor Who bit was mainly on one of the big screens, and that they didn’t show it on TV. So unless someone from the Whoniverse turns up to light the cauldron, it looks like that could be it 🙁

July 27th, 2012 - 10:39pmI think the TARDIS noise is implying the Doctor has arrived, which means they may have David Tennant dressed as the Time Lord to light the fire after all! ;D

jonathanG
July 27th, 2012 - 10:11pmAgreed! Why would they play the tardis noise in a song from the 70s?
