Here are several videos I've made recently but have been unable to upload until now. They are set to the following Owl City songs: Plant Life, On the Wing, West Coast Friendship, and Captains and Cruise Ships. I am also taking video requests, so if there are any songs you'd like to see put to Doctor Who clips, leave your requests on my YouTube channel (TheTardisTraveler10) or in a comment on this blog.
Welcome to A TARDIS-Traveller's Guide to the Whoniverse! This blog posts news updates on Doctor Who, Merlin, and Sherlock. However, we occasionally post movie and book reviews as well. Thanks for reading!

Save Doctor Who Confidential!
As I mentioned in an earlier post, Doctor Who Confidential is being axed from BBC3. As I also mentioned, it's not too late to save it!
No More Confidential
It appears that Doctor Who Confidential, the behind the scenes look at every episode, will be ending.
The BBC is to axe Doctor Who Confidential, the BBC3 spin-off from its sci-fi drama, as part of the corporation’s ongoing cuts programme.HOWEVER!! There is a Twitter page and many Facebook pages petitioning for Confidential to be saved, and the Twitter group already has over 7,000 signatures on their online petition. Help save Confidential!
The corporation facing budget cuts of up to 20% across its output as part of its “Delivering Quality First” initiative, BBC controller Zai Bennett has chosen to axe the show at the end of its current series.
Bennett is understood to be pursuing a strategy of focusing investment on original commissions in post-watershed time slots. Since taking over, he has decommissioned shows including Ideal, Hotter Than My Daughter, Coming of Age and long-running sitcom Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.
Speaking last month at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival, Bennett said: “It’s about focusing my budget on 9pm and 10pm; those are the time slots that count. Budgets are tight, so we have to be sensible with the money we have.”
Mark Thompson, the BBC director general, will unveil the corporation’s cost-cutting strategy – the outcome of the DQF process – on 6 October. It is thought to include proposals to exploit greater “synergies” between BBC1 and BBC3, with the digital channel acting as a “nursery slope” for its terrestrial cousin. BBC3 will also fill a greater proportion of its 7pm to 9pm slots with repeats of BBC1 shows.
A spokeswoman for the BBC said: “The Doctor Who spin-off series, Doctor Who Confidential, has been a great show for BBC3 over the years, but our priority now is to build on original British commissions, unique to the channel.”
