 The Empty Child / The Doctor Dances
The TARDIS materialises in an alleyway, and the Doctor and Rose emerge, unaware that they’re being observed.
The Doctor is put out by Rose’s assumption that he never dances, and Rose, amused, turns up the volume on the radio and invites him to show her his moves.
When Jack mentions the destruction of Pompeii, the Doctor is appalled at his frivilousness about such a horrific event in history; this is probably linked to The Fires of Vulcan, where the Seventh Doctor was convinced that he would lose his TARDIS in the volcanic eruption and be trapped on Earth forever.

 The Doctor Dances - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Doctor Dances is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast on May 28, 2005.
The Doctor repeats his order, saying that he is very cross with them, and slowly, the zombies turn and return to their beds, and the Child turns away from Nancy, leaving the house and wandering away.
Rose says Jack reminds her of the Doctor, except with "dating and dancing." The Doctor is mildly offended that Rose assumes he cannot dance, and Rose, amused, asks him to prove it.

The climax, as Nancy admits her dark secret and the Doctor wills the nano-genes (is that the right spelling?) to recognise her DNA as she holds her son, is emotionally tense and thrilling, and what could have been sentimental and cloying is instead gripping and truly euphoric.
And also the Doctor uncovered that the reason why a family received such generous proportions of meat from the butcher was because the father was in fact giving the butcher some extra meat if you know what I mean.
Also seeing the Doctor a little vexed at not being seen as the dancing type was quite nice, and when he did eventually dance at the end to a more jazzy tune, I couldn't help but get up myself and dance.

 Discontinuity Guide - The Doctor Dances
The Doctor talks about Nancy being 20 or 21 now, and 16 or 17 when Jamie was born, and then goes on to talk about what happened when Jamie was born as her being a "teenaged single mum in 1941" - surely he should be saying that this was in the 1930s.
I think it's safe to say that the Doctor doesn't have any romantic feelings for Rose, especially given this incarnation's general disdain for humanity, and any romantic feelings that Rose may have for the Doctor are not reciprocated.
They feature the story of Doctor Constantine, and a story about the "Schlecter Wolf" bombs, which are also mentioned in a press release on the UNIT website.

 Eye of Horus | Doctor Who | Series One - 2005 - Episode Guide - 10 - The Doctor Dances
It is an intriguing episode for the Doctor and Rose Tyler, pushing their friendship (I am still not comfortable about using the phrase 'relationship') into a new realm.
Her conversations about sexuality and sex (read: the euphemism of 'dancing') were clearly embarrassing ("I'm trying to resonate Concrete!") for the Doctor but she ambushed him into admitting that he, having lived for 900 years, "must have danced" at sometime or other.

The Doctor (Christopher Eccleston), Rose (Billie Piper) and Jack (John Barrowman) narrowly escape the zombie plague victims in Albion Hospital by using some clever moves and Jack’s disruptor pistol to exit through the floor.
Meanwhile, Jack teleports himself out of the hospital, but the Doctor and Rose are still trapped — and later pulled out via the teleporter in Jack’s ship while she’s teaching the Time Lord how to dance (or so she thinks).
The Doctor realises that the Chula transport ship was carrying nanobots, microscopic robots that heal damaged tissue; unfortunately, without a proper pattern to base their work on, they used the young boy — Nancy’s son, Jamie — as a model, and are now turning everyone they come into contact with into something like him.

 Doctor Who: The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, reviewed by Fiona Moore and Alan Stevens
There are some nice lines and witty exchanges of banter, particularly the Doctor's remark about not being sure whether the street children's scheme to keep fed is Marxism in action or a West End musical, or the sequence where Rose and Jack exploit the flirtation potential of psychic paper.
However, historical settings seem usually to lead to historical inaccuracies, such as the idea that an officer's club in the 1940s, when everyone was maintaining flout conditions and air-raids were a random occurrence, would have had the lights on and the windows open.
Effectively, all the Doctor's speech does is perpetuate a national myth, rather than explore the political complexities of the real situation.

But on the other hand, the old Doctor Who was so intrinsic to my origins as a creative person, so fueled my early efforts as a writer and editor, that seeing this new incarnation has been like having gasoline thrown on a fire that had been burning steady but low.
I think the Doctor is physically tortured more in these two episodes that he has been in the entire 40-plus years of the history of the show prior.
