John Barrowman has revealed that it is doubtful his character, Captain Jack, will appear in the new series of Doctor Who.

Barrowman will reportedly appear in David Tennant’s final two-part special as the Tenth Doctor, however Barrowman said that it’s unlikely he’ll be back with Matt Smith as The Doctor.

Barrowman told Radio 2: “I don’t know about Captain’s Jack future in Doctor Who because nothing has been said or I haven’t been asked.

“I’m kind of prepared that I won’t be in any of it, which is fine.”

He added: “But we are discussing the future of Torchwood because most definitely Torchwood will come back to the BBC, which is fantastic.

“We’re not sure when, because we have to work out the logistics of the filming – and it’s already said that it’ll be 13 episodes instead of 5.”
