10. Breakfast. Its normal.
The Lodger is perhaps the purest exercise in the peculiarly English brand of fantasy Doctor Who ever produced. English fantasy tends to be about the juxtaposition of the mundane with the extraordinarywhich means a lot of humor shows up as well. And depositing the most mad and erratic Doctor into an ordinary bachelor life, with its ordinary problems, was sure to be a hoot. Out of many funny and cute moments of this episodehold while I eat a biscuit, footballs the one with the sticks, and the Elevenths first run-in with winethe sweetest is the Doctor turning up at Craigs door with breakfast in bed. Its an act that combines pure kindness with frank cluelessness, and perfectly encapsulates the way the Eleventh Doctor deals with normal people.
