Story notes

  • This episode was mistakenly entitled Reality Check, A Clinical Finish, Don't Go Up The Stairs, and Something At the Top Of The Stairs.
  • "The Lodger" is also a comic strip story by Gareth Roberts. It is unknown if this story is a adaption of the other -- though set report evidence seems to confirm it as a adaptation, and having the same title and writer makes it seem more likely. This wouldn't be the first time that a non-televised story had been adapted on the TV series, the Human Nature story being an example of adaption to the TV series.
  • The Doctor will wear a football kit and play on a football team with Craig in the episode.
  • The Doctor gets blown out of the TARDIS.
  • The Doctor will wear some kind of ear piece as seen in the trailer and the picture above.
  • The football team the Doctor and Craig play for is called the King's Arms.
  • The Doctor was good in sports in DW: Black Orchid when he played good during a game of cricket.
  • Four clips of the episode showing The Doctor saying that he does'nt know why people call him The Doctor,Craig showing him his room and cooking a meal, after eating the meal, giving him his keys and looking at the dampness in the corner of the wall again and The Doctor and Craig playing football, The Doctor playing very well, Sophie taking a liking to him and Craig Feeling bad because Sophie is Really liking The Doctor Because He Scored A Goal.

Rumours

  • It is rumoured that either the Timoreen, the Ha'rik, or the Skarkish will appear -- primarily because these were all listed as "new aliens" to appear in Series 5.
  • This episode will be the one that features the Blue Peter Competition TARDIS console.
  • As this episode is before the finale, it most likely will have a foreshadowing (like in Fear Her and The Waters of Mars) or link right into the finale (like Utopia and Turn Left).
  • It is likely that this episode will lead directly into the next as Claudio played by Marcus O' Donovan is listed to appear in both DW:The Lodger and DW:The Pandorica Opens.
  • The villain of the episode could be The Crack itself, though their have been rumours of a Raxicoricofallipatorian (Mainly because of the Timoreen, how they usually end in -reen), or the Cybus Cybermen.
