References

  • The Doctor wears a shirt with 11 on when playing a football match, both referencing him being the Eleventh Doctor and this being the eleventh episode of series 5.

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.

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.
