The year 2012 was one visited frequently by the Doctor and his companions.

Publicly, the year 2012 was the year the Summer Olympics were held in London and a year that the United States held a presidential election. (TV: Dalek, Fear Her) Secretly, however, in an underground bunker in Utah, 2012 was the year the Ninth Doctor first learned he was not the only survivor of the Last Great Time War. (TV: Dalek)

July

  • According to one account, the United Kingdom had a king by this time. (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon)
  • The Eighth Doctor, Fitz Kreiner and Compassion visited Wiltshire, England. (PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon)
  • 27 - The 2012 Summer Olympics opened in London during a period of unseasonably cold weather in the city, caused by an Isolus pod draining all the nearby heat. The Tenth Doctor, his TARDIS and people inside the Olympic Stadium were all among those placed inside drawings made by Chloe Webber, aided by an Isolus to give the stranded Isolus a family. Digging up the pod, Rose Tyler threw it into the Olympic Flame to heat it up, resulting in the Isolus releasing those it had kidnapped. Due to a mishap along the torch relay route, the Olympic Flame was lit at the opening ceremonies by the Doctor, who appeared on international television. The morale of the Games allowed the Isolus to fly home. Afterward, the Doctor and Rose attended a neighbourhood celebration in London. By this time, the Torchwood Institute seemed to have been relatively well-known, enough that the Battle of Canary Wharf of several years earlier was now known as the "Battle of Torchwood". (TV: Fear Her)
  • Somewhere around the same time, the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond met an athlete who was on the run from a Weeping Angel who was trying to steal the Olympic Flame in order to ruin the spirit of the Olympics, and ended up in the TARDIS. The Angel took the torch with the flame, but the Doctor destroyed the Angel with his screwdriver and received a gold medal for saving the Olympics. (TV: Good as Gold)

November

  • The United States held its presidential election. Earlier in the year, Diana Goddard suggested that the Democratic candidate would win, indicating that she found Democrats "funny". (TV: Dalek)

December

Unknown dates

  • In Utah, in an underground facility called the Vault, the "last Dalek", nicknamed the Metaltron by its billionaire collector, Henry van Statten, used the DNA of the time traveller, Rose Tyler, to recover itself. Not having any orders from above, it killed most of the base, but hesistated once it approached Rose. Believing the humanity Rose had given it was "sickness", it allowed itself to be destroyed. Afterward, Adam Mitchell accepted an invitation to join the Ninth Doctor and Rose on their travels. Van Statten was stripped of his power and was ordered to have his memory erased. (TV: Dalek)
As the 2012 US election is referenced as having not happened yet, this means these events occurred prior to November.
