Should Doctor Who Light the Olympic Flame?

A petition has been created calling for the Olympic committee to choose David Tennant, the tenth Doctor, to light the Olympic Torch at the opening ceremonies for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. He lit the torch in a 2006 episode of Doctor Who called "Fear Her." The episode is set during the opening of the 2012 Olympics. I'm sure Doctor Who fans would geek out if he is the one to light the flame.

Even if David Tennant isn't chosen to light the flame, Matt Smith, the current Doctor, will carry the torch in Cardiff, Wales on Saturday. Since Doctor Who is such an British icon, it's exciting that at least one Doctor will be able to carry the torch.
