John Barrowman Open to a Return to Doctor Who

TV news site Zap2it briefly interviewed John Barrowman on the set of Torchwood: Miracle Day and revealed that Captain Jack Harkness could always return to Doctor Who.

"I've always said that if I'm asked to go back to 'Doctor Who,' I'll go at the drop of a hat. That's where Captain Jack got his beginnings. And it's already been discussed."

Barrowman says that both "Torchwood" creator Russell T Davies and current "Doctor Who" showrunner Steven Moffat have talked about the possibility of a return for Jack . . .

"It's in the cards, but who knows whether it will happen?" says Barrowman, quick to add that his character does have special ties to David Tennant's version of the Doctor. "I like Matt Smith. He brings his own quirkiness to it... When a new Doctor starts, everybody goes along for the journey because they love the show. But then you attach yourself to that Doctor. There's a whole new generation who are now attached to Matt, and rightly so.... but David Tennant is my Doctor."

TV Shows On DVD reveals that Torchwood - The Complete Original UK Series arrives on DVD and Blu in time for Miracle Day

Many fans of the BBC series are counting the upcoming Starz production of Torchwood: Miracle Day this summer as the "fourth series" (or season) of the popular show which was spun off from Doctor Who. There were two traditional-length series/seasons at 13 episodes each, followed by the five-episode "third series" titled Torchwood: Children of Earth. After that adventure, Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) left Earth for a bit...which is why we saw him in an alien bar in a brief cameo for David Tennant's final episode of Doctor Who ("The End of Time, Part 2"). Jack is reuniting this summer with Gwen (Eve Myles) and others in the new 10-episode production, which also stars Mekhi Phifer (ER's "Dr. Gregory Pratt") as "Rex Matheson", a CIA agent who gets caught up in events beyond his previous experience.

To celebrate the new adventures, which premiere on the Starz cable channel this July 8th, the BBC has announced today that Torchwood - The Complete Original UK Series will be available on DVD and high-def Blu-ray Disc this July 19th.

Torchwood star John Barrowman has claimed that the upcoming fourth series will be “bigger and better” than before.

Barrowman was in Cannes, southern France, to present the 10-part series, which was filmed in Wales and Los Angeles.

“The move to America has been amazing,” said Barrowman. “There is so much more we can do with Torchwood now having made the leap to America.”
He added that the action sequences in the series, which is subtitled Miracle Day, are “unbelievable”.
“The audience is going to need a forklift truck to pick their jaws off the ground,” he said. “I used to do quite a lot of stunts but now I’m not allowed to because of the insurance policy. I’m much more valuable in America!”

Barrowman and co-star Eve Myles will be joined by Hollywood actors Bill Pullman, from Independence Day and Mekhi Phifer, who played Tom Hanks’ friend Bubba in Forrest Gump.

Barrowman also insisted that the sexual nature of his character Jack Harkness will not be toned down for US audiences.

“Jack will have his little dabblings and the audience will get exactly what they want,” he claimed.

Torchwood: Miracle Day will premiere in July on BBC One.
