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

Summer

  • 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 would appear 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". (DW: Fear Her)

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". (DW: 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. (DW: Dalek)
As the 2012 US election is referenced as having not happened yet, this means these events occurred prior to November.
  • The Ninth Doctor returned Adam Mitchell to his own time zone after being expelled from the TARDIS for sending information about future technology to his home era; Adam immediately caused a panic in his household when an advanced biochip implant from the year 200,000 was revealed in his forehead. (DW: The Long Game)
  • Alistair Gryffen was born. (K9TV: Taphony and the Time Loop)
  • The Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble arrived in Hollywood and discovered alien entity Miss Hubble, who spent months draining the lifeforce out of everyone in Hollywood. The Doctor defeated Miss Hubble and made sure that Hollywood returned to its normal timelines. (DWA: Nightmare on the Boulevard)
