Talk:The Lodger (TV story)

No Sources
The Page needs deleting and protecting, the page constantly gets made once a week because people think its going to be one of the titles for a series 5 story. Well if it is, give a source please people. -- Michael Downey 15:25, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Why has the deletion banner been thrown up so quickly? People seem convinced this is the name of the episode, so why don't we leave it and just change it if its wrong? Removing deletion banner until we have a rational agreement to this. Fan555 15:27, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

There is no definite source. Added the delete template again. Without a reliable source, it should be deleted. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 15:45, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

There Is a reliable source now from the BBC Doctor who website itself. You can't get any more reliable or definite than this. -- Michael Downey 15:47, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

So suddenly the BBC doesn't know the name of the Dr Who episodes. It is the Official website, and therefore an official source. Fan555 15:48, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. Just seen it and removed the template. Should have looked more thoroughly first. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 15:49, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

"Craig will either die or join the Doctor by the end of this episode. Another possibility is the the Doctor will offer him a trip, but Craig will decline." - so we have three options: he'll die, live and not go with the Doctor, or live and go with the Doctor. There are no other options. So in other words this adds nothing at all. I move to delete this "rumour".


 * Good point, deleted it. Digifiend 17:19, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Now titled Don't Go Up the Stairs by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/proginfo/tv/2010/wk24/sat.shtml#sat_doctorwho Mennenennen 13:26, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep. You got there before me. Name change time. ☆ The Solar Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 13:31, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * And I just changed it back, due to DWM Editor Tom Spilsbury's post on Gallifrey Base: 'The title is 'The Lodger'. The press office is out of date.' http://gallifreybase.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2381523&postcount=43

Craig
Shouldn't craig be a companion? Alpha111 19:50, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * No. 20:01, May 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Going by the standard implied by List of companions and other articles, Craig should be on the list of "disputed companions", marked as a companion here, etc.


 * But, if you look at Forum::Disputed Companions, there's currently a discussion going on about who we should count as companions, and nobody involved likes the current implied standard. So, I don't think anyone wants to add more companions that are just going to be removed later. If you think people like Craig (and Lynda Moss and the existing disputed companions) should be listed, you should go comment on that forum thread. --Falcotron 20:13, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

up the stairs
when it says the stairs people go up and never come down it will either be ailens are takeing them or there is a crack (wormhole type) up there just constantly takeing anyone who goes up into a diffrent part of the universe

 * Not necessarily. It could be a murderer. On another note, the Doctor says "Is this how time passes? Really slowly and in the right order?" in Vincent and the Doctor. This week will kill him. The Thirteenth Doctor 09:08, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * If it's a crack, they'd forget people who went upstairs, but in the trailer, the other two seem to remember the last person to go upstairs (the woman asks "what is he doing up there?"). Someone I know reckons it might be Cybermen because they're in the finale?

Title
I've recently noticed the number of titles for this episode. Where did they all come from?

"This episode was mistakenly entitled Reality Check, A Clinical Finish, Don't Go Up the Stairs"

And now this new one thats appeared out of nowhere, 'Something At the Top of the Stairs'.

Please do explain!!

 * Don't Go Up the Stairs was on the BBC website for a short period before it was changed to The Lodger again. 16:14, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * And I've never heard of a rumoured episode title 'Something at the Top of the Stairs'. What kind of a title is that ?
