BBC News - Matt Smith Carries Olympic Torch In Cardiff

[@sanderf90]

He might be smiling be we all know he's thinking "Don't trip, don't trip, don't trip. D:"

[@ElisaDiLorenzo]

What part of Cardiff is not London, Matt Smith is the current Doctor not Tennant, Fear Her is not real life, didn't you get? How could it be an insult to David for frak's sake? Are you really talking seriously? And how isn't it an insult to Matt saying "it should have been David" instead? He's working hard and the new Doctor Who has never been so popular before. It's his moment and he deserves it.

Looks like Matt managed not to burn down Cardiff. I'm so proud :D

[@MuddyFerrets]

Who thought it would be a good idea to let the most clumsy man in the world run with a flaming tourch?! None the less, I congratulate Matt and I'm so proud. XD

[@faustian892]

The pressure. I know I'd be looking every other second to check if it'd burned out.

[@AliciaLove94]

Everyone complaining that it's Matt instead of David, you should all be proud that Doctor Who is even being recognized. Be proud.

Thank you so much for posting this. Only closed my eyes for 4 minutes after my 6.15am alarm, but somehow managed to get up at 7.09. Just go to show, I suppose, that the heartbeat of a Time Lord can hold eternity within it... or 50 minutes. :)

People are saying Tennant because it was Ten who ran with the Olympic torch in an episode, not eleven. Some fans were just set on seeing David Tennant run because it could have been like a fixed point in time.

I was standing beside the BBC cameraman who filmed Matt Smith with torch.

[@HolyDays-]

so cool matt smith

[@MeinGott1947]

You guys DO know the actual difference between Tennant and Smith running with the torch, right? Matt ran with it in Cardiff. David ran with it in London. So David might still have a chance for it in London, you guys.

[@IImagiination]

I wish David Tennant could do it too!

[@Rachy2049]

DOCTOR!!!

[@cap4081]

Awesome job Matt!

[@Perelka_L]

Would you want Donna's mind to explode? He had to do it in this incarnation so she would be safe.

[@ElisaDiLorenzo]

But this is not Fear Her, it's real life. Also, the Tenth Doctor carried the torch IN LONDON, not Cardiff. It wouldn't have made sense anyway.

[@TubeScrewd]

but if Ten ran and not Eleven, Donna's brain would have fried. Crises averted.

[@ItsMrE.K.]

David Tenant should carried that :'(

[@ThePwnedsouthpark]

He was too old to run a marathon :C I'm sad too..

[@shannontrf]

it should have been tennant ;-;

[@t2rnus]

giraffe on the run! Go Matt!

[@caitlinmackey2993]

what... did....you ...say >:(

[@Octonova]

Yay Matt! I was afraid he was going to set his hair on fire but thankfully he didn't =)

[@pbjellybeanful]

Good job Matt! It's a success if he didn't burn Cardiff down!

[@caitlinmackey2993]

oh

[@fernablu]

I love Matt, but...David!

[@1waka2laka]

...but...but...it was the 10th doctor who ran it...i hate matt smith...

[@1waka2laka]

I said I hate Matt Smith. 5 months ago this was very true but I learned over time that Smith was a great doctor, but rather Moffat that I hated. He is a terible writer, and he should be fired.
