* BitchInSheepsClothing: Mr Bird is polite, friendly and helpful, ingratiating himself with all of the tenants in the Baker Street house easily. He's also plotting against the Doctor.



* HypocriticalHumour: After telling Robin that only boring people get bored, the Doctor later moans to Helen about how bored ''he'' is. Helen calls him out on it and he acknowledges his own hypocrisy.



* ItWontTurnOff: The first sign of the electronics in the house behaving strangely is Ron and Tony's television switching itself back on after being turned off. And after being unplugged.
* KeepingSecretsSucks: Liv and Tania are both keeping major secrets from one another (Liv is a time traveler from another planet, Tania is a Torchwood operative) and they both know that the other one is keeping secrets but neither can tell each other the truth. It puts a strain on their developing relationship and they both agree to simply not ask uncomfortable questions of one another so they don't have to lie.
* MesACrowd: Mr Bird turns up in multiple places at the same time.



* SinisterSurveillance: There are cameras hidden in every room of the house that the Doctor discovers and is able to tap into. Torchwood have also bugged Tania's room because she had stopped reporting in.

to:

* RousingSpeech: The Doctor ''attempts'' to do this for Robin to help him out of his funk and convince him that things in his life will get better. His alternating BrutalHonesty and odd references dull the effect somewhat.
-->'''Robin:''' You know, your pep talks are a bit hit and miss.
* ShapedLikeItself:
-->'''The Doctor:''' Is this the best screwdriver you have? All it does is... drive screws.
* SinisterSurveillance: There are cameras hidden in every room of the house that the Doctor discovers and is able to tap into. Torchwood have also bugged Tania's room because she had stopped reporting in.in.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Robin's father is always working or on his cell phone and his mother, who supposedly also lives in the house, is never seen at all.
