References

  • The Doctor wears a jersey with 11 on when playing a football match, both referencing him being the Eleventh Doctor and this being the eleventh episode of Series 5.
  • This may also be a reference to the fact that Matt Smith originally wanted to become a professional footballer before a back injury, causing him to focus on acting instead.
  • The football match may also be a reference to the FIFA World Cup England vs USA match that kicked off just as The Lodger finished, on a rival channel (ITV).
  • A post card advertising a Vincent Van Gogh art display is stuck to the fridge, a reference to the previous episode, DW: Vincent and the Doctor.
  • The Doctor making Craig an omelette may be a reference to Matt Smith's culinary talents - At the age of nine, Matt won at Junior Masterchef. However it may also be a reference to Gavin and Stacy, the series which James Corden starred in and wrote, in which the only food Stacy's mum ever seem to cook is omelets.
  • When The Doctor rushes out of the shower in fear of Craig's safety he grabs Craig's toothbrush rather than his Sonic screwdriver, in reverse of the comic strip of the same name in which Mickey grabs The Doctors sonic screwdriver rather than his own toothbrush.
