“I don’t see what you’re getting upset about.”
The Doctor was trying to look impressive. Rose was unimpressed. “Did you hear what they called me?” He waved a hand dramatically. “I’m a Time Lord, after all! I’ve saved the world! Several worlds! It’s what I do!”
Rose put on her most serious and sincere face. “And a very good job you do of it, too.”
“A ‘busybody’!” The Doctor paused. “Yes, well, I’ll grant them that. And maybe the ‘meddler’ title, too. But a ‘Scotland Yard jack-in-office’?”
Rose composed herself with some effort. “C’mon, Holmes. Let’s go save the world.”

I could see the Sixth Doctor reacting the same way. Maybe there's more of him in the Tenth than I realized....
Y'know, I've always sort of thought that. But now, of course, I'm totally stuck on the similarities to the Fourth - particularly the way both of them will say something, then go "Well," and completely contradict themselves. Now that I've noticed it once, it just won't go away!
And speaking of Four - it's your icon's fault that I'm rewatching that serial now. :D I always forget how amazing all the supporting characters are, and it's really nicely paced out for a six-episode serial. Doesn't seem to drag at all!
