Craig Owens appeared in series 5 episode 11, The Lodger. He lived in a downstairs flat of a supposedly two-storey building on Aickman Road. He was secretly in love with his friend Sophie, who he often invited over for a night of pizza, beer, and television.

He placed an advert for a flatmate in a local shop window and The Doctor turned up on his doorstep later that same day due to a helpful note from Amy Pond in the future. Since Amy was stuck in the TARDIS without a way to land it on her own, and the Doctor found the source to be in the upstairs flat of Craig's building, he applied to live there.

The Doctor turned up with a paper bag full of 3000 pounds cash and no luggage. Craig said he was "weird", but after trying one of the Doctor's impromptu omlettes, which he found to be delicious, he decided to let him stay. Craig learned to live with his strange habits and quirks, but became somewhat irritated at the Doctor's success at football and his interruption of a moment with Sophie.

Craig then defied the Doctor's recommendation not to touch the dry rot forming on the ceiling of his living room. He was severely affected by it but was saved by the Doctor. By the time he woke up, Craig was shocked to learn that the Doctor went to a planning meeting at his workplace and was working in his place. His suspicions of the Doctor gew after he then looked in his room and found a strange spinning contraption made out of bits of garbage. The Doctor shared information with Craig via telepathy to explain his predicament in a short span of time and gain assistance in confronting the enemy upstairs.

The telepathic xchange he shared with the Doctor is implied to have imparted some advance technological knowledge. This may mean Craig has become one of the lucky few people, such as Donna Noble and Bayldon Copper, whom the Doctor meets and respects enough to leave with some manner of becoming incredibly wealthy.(DW: The Lodger)
