So inclined I agree to have the doctor in (2,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in the mood

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'so inclined' is the definition.
'in the mood' can be an answer for 'inclined' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'so' bit.

'i agree to have the doctor in' is the wordplay.
'agree' becomes 'nod' (I've seen this before).
'to have' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'doctor in' becomes 'mo' (medical officer. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'the'+'mo'='themo'
'nod' placed around 'themo' is 'nthemood'.
'i'+'nthemood'='IN THE MOOD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in the mood that I've seen before include "Keen" , "Having a willing state of mind, like old Glenn Miller dance number" , "Having the right frame of mind - for old band number?" , "Glenn Miller hit" .)
