I guess Matt Smith is a morning person. The Eleventh Doctor was up very early this morning but it was not to fight Daleks or save the universe. It was to carry the Olympic Torch on its eighth day of travels to the Olympics. Today the torch is traveling 115 miles from Cardiff to Swansea.
The Doctor accepted the torch at around 6:20 am.?Smith was clearly moved by the turnout of nearly a thousand people who came to see him carry the flame and also felt incredibly honored to be a part of the festivities.
Smith clearly understands that the honor bestowed upon him is bigger than?Doctor Who. He also was clearly having a great time. And why not after all David Tennant only got to carry the Olympic Torch on TV (In Fear Her.)
Smith was interviewed about the honor. It appeared in The Sun.
I would do it in my underpants. It?s the Olympic torch. I would probably get a bigger crowd for that.

Interviewed by BBC Wales Smith beamed with excitement.
It?s a great privilege. I can?t believe the number of people who turned up. I thought I would just be waving to the ducks.??It?s strange really, it?s the Olympic torch ? it?s one of those strange occasions in your life that you don?t expect to happen.?It?s a huge privilege and one that?s unexpected.
Smith added that like the Doctor he wasn?t quite sure where he was going.
I don?t even know where I am running to. I try and run in a straight line.
Offscreen this is one of the most important moments ever for Doctor Who.?It emphasizes the mythos and popularity of the program in the English culture.
Here is a video and interview!
