1) Rose and Jack together remind the Doctor how to dance 2) Rose's good-natured control over the situation - what he's trying to say is, you may cut in.
Yes, but it's so deliciously complicated. Did the remind the Doctor how to dance, or, in fact, prod him into remembering? And is Rose really controlling the situation, or is the Doctor just letting her take the lead? Maybe it's just Eccleston's presence, but I never get the feeling he's not really in control here, especially when he winks and says, "I'm sure of it, Rose. I'm absolutely certain of it. But the question is, with who(m)?" And then, I seriously expected him to reach out and pull Jack into a jitterbut after the blackout to the credits.
Mickey. Sigh. Rose keeps him on a string, Jack is condescending...ironically, I think the Doctor comes around a bit after WWIII and at least deigns to participate in banter with Mickey. The insularity is an unattractive trait of many of RTD's creations, although it didn't bother me so much with these three because they hit the right "temperature" with me and Mickey did get to tag along - it was the show that made fun of him with the cleaner's trolley and the bucket, etc.
It's really no good me getting inspired to write at this time of night...
