When the TARDIS gets stuck in a mysterious time loop, sending it hurtling through the time vortex and taking Amy with it, The Doctor has to investigate alone. But he needs a place to stay in the meantime, so he decides to hole up in a rent-a-room held by a man named Craig, played hilariously by James Corden.

The Doctor then proceeds to be the weirdest and yet most helpful roommate in the history of roommates, while also figuring out what's going on with Craig's flat. Leading to some hilarious shenanigans such as The Doctor trying to save Craig in nothing but a towel and armed with a toothbrush (to be fair he would still have probably pulled it off) and of course, The Doctor DOMINATING at football because Matt Smith is a pro football player of course that's how it goes.

It's not the most intelligent episode out there, but it IS a lot of fun and really funny, and frankly that's all you need from a Doctor Who episode sometimes.
