According to the Dr. Who Fan Site on Google+
Matt Smith will be carrying the Olympic Torch this weekend when it reaches Cardiff in the latest leg of its 70 day trip around the United Kingdom.
Smith will bear the torch early on Saturday morning, at the start of its journey from Cardiff, the capital of Wales and home of Doctor Who, to Swansea a few miles along the coast. The day will see the torch visit the communities of Barry, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda and Bridgend.
"To carry the Torch is an honour, one I thought I'd never get, I'm very excited!"
Daleks will be following close behind, saying of the Olympic Flame, "Exterminate ... exterminATE!!!!"

We had flown through the night, so it was now early Monday…
