History YMMV / DoctorWhoS31E11TheLodger

* RetroactiveRecognition: For American audiences, Creator/JamesCorden.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Not a "moment", exactly, but part of the set decorations is an inexplicably creepy]painting hanging on the wall that's prominently focused on in several shots, but has nothing to do with the plot of the episode. What the hell was that about?

* IdiotPlot: The Doctor pretends to be a human, and clichés every "Alien trying to fit in" trope one can think of. Not to mention The Doctor, one of the most brilliant minds in the universe, has no idea what Association Football is [[ObfuscatingStupidity (probably)]], and when a team member says "We're going to destroy [next week's opponents]!" The Doctor goes into rage mode (I am The Doctor! The Oncoming Storm! I refuse to allow any killing whatsoever!), before realising partway through that it was meant in a perfectly harmless fashion. He also very awkwardly interrupts Craig and his girlfriend completely oblivious to the fact that they want "Alone Time" despite Craig outright announcing it earlier. And after unintentionally making Craig jealous (all his friends and co-workers loving him more, which he really should have picked up on) he still seems surprised when Craig tells him "I hate you, get out!" Gareth Roberts has stated in his defence 'this is the Doctor acting like the Doctor, he's just doing it in a "normal" situation for once' - and, to be fair, the rest of 11's tenure bears this out (of all the Doctors, he is possibly the worst at blending in).
