Not the Tenth Doctor going “Ooh, that’s rude! Is that the sort of man I am now? Am I rude?” as if the Ninth Doctor had been a beacon of politeness instead of the master of Northern-accented sass that he was. Buddy, I love ya to bits, but apparently the kind of man you are is a touch delusional.

Behind the Scenes of The Christmas Invasion (Part 40)
Excerpt from the Radio Times, 17-30 December 2005, interviews by Nick Griffiths
Prepare to see a different side of Jackie Tyler. The one-woman soap, all bleached hair and simmering libido, is turning over a new leaf. Sort of.
As Christmas trees attack and Santas turn bad, Jackie is on hand - and there's that handsome Doctor lying in bed in her flat, clad only in pyjamas. "I'm very proud of her, because she restrains herself from being a complete floozy," says actress Camille Coduri. "Instead she becomes quite nurturing. She tries to get things going, to look after people. She's very concerned, and there's a side of her that you've not seen before - she's less selfish, amazingly so. Because she's very self-centered, really."
Rose, her daughter, may have the time-travel/alien-battling stuff worked out but, as Coduri observes, "Jackie's still grappling with it. Also the Doctor has changed. She'd just got used to the other one [played by Christopher Eccleston], and suddenly..."
Jackie quite fancied the previous Doctor, didn't she? "She did. Very much. And she really fancies this one, as well. A lot!" Coduri elaborates: "I think both Rose and Jackie are in love with this man, because he's quite wonderful. He's the Wizard of Oz. And he's gorgeous and divine!"
