Sadly, my petition to the Prime Minister has been rejected by the small-minded bureaucrats at Number 10. They’ll regret their short-sightedness when we all get turned into little cartoon people in 2012.
I include a copy below in the hope that the Olympics Committee may take notice and opt to save us from the upcoming temporal paradox that will otherwise doom our planet.
The campaign starts here!

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to: ‘allow television’s Doctor Who to carry the Olympic Flame in 2012.’
In 2006 it was revealed that an alien entity known as the Isolus – which just wanted to be loved – was going to turn the entire Earth into a picture in the year 2012.
Fortunately this fate was averted by Doctor Who carrying the Olympic Flame. If, however, Doctor Who does not carry the Olympic Flame in 2012, we could be in a whole heap of trouble.
In order to prevent serious and lasting damage to the fabric of time itself, we urge the Prime Minister to allow Doctor Who to carry the Olympic Flame for some part of its final journey.
David Tennant or whoever’s doing the part in 2012.
We don’t much care, really.

Is it worth also pointing out that there are only five years left to develop a housing estate on the Olympic Flame’s route and name it after Dame Kelly Holmes?
We don’t want to cartoonified on a technicality, surely?
Also, I knew I should have copyrighted ‘slightly terrifying’.
When did something having nothing to do with Government Policy stop the Government interfering with anything?
Please, you must up this campaign, save us from being cartoonified!
Just look about, they’ve already started with the Politicians!!!
And may I just add on a more personal note: ‘argh!’
I thank you.
My dear, you’ve gone about this all wrong. When you want a government official to do something for you, you must first demonstrate what benefit it is to him/her! … ” you will very likely have the support of 1.5 million science fiction and/or Who fans in the next election and in the administration of your future policy decisions if…”
Listen to Maryan, Piers! She works for THE OTHER SIDE. Hell, she could take your petition to G. Bush himself and get it into the hands of Gordon Brown through the back door that way.
BTW, if anyone had told me Dr. Who could stop me turning into a cartoon I would have bloody watched it. DAMN.
