=== "Star In A Reasonably Priced ''TARDIS''" ===
In 2008, the BBC's Simon Catt inspired Matt Taylor of the network's Repeats and Reversioning team to combine Tennant's ''Top Gear'' lap with TARDIS clips from ''Doctor Who''. The end product was a video that used the audio and studio clips of [[David Tennant|Tennant]]'s lap with commentary from both Tennant and Clarkson and the ''Doctor Who'' opening theme in the background, but instead of showing the Lacetti and Tennant at the wheel, it featured clips of [[the TARDIS]] in flight and Tennant as the [[Tenth Doctor]] at the controls, with the footage including the highway chase in [[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride (TV story)|The Runaway Bride]]'' and the bumpy landing "across the line" in the [[Powell Estate]] street in [[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]''. It was dubbed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N77GAsv8X-Q "Star in a Reasonably Priced TARDIS"] or "''Doctor Who'' Meets ''Top Gear''."

Catt and Taylor's boss Gill Holmes not only liked it, but was so impressed that he forwarded it to Mark Harrison, Head of the BBC’s Multiplatform Studio. From there, it went even further to Peter Salmon, Chief Creative Officer of the BBC Vision Studio - who was due to visit the ''Top Gear'' team soon. He showed the clip to Clarkson and ''Top Gear'' Executive Producer Andy Wilman - and they loved it and gave it their blessing to post online. A fan later did much the same thing with [[Christopher Eccleston|Eccleston]]'s lap and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI414zAoc7Q uploaded it to YouTube].
