Barrowman, who played Captain Jack Harkness in both Doctor Who and its spin-off series, Torchwood, had previously expressed a desire to take part in the celebrations, which include a special commemorative episode and a BBC2 docu-film depicting the shows creation, to be screened later this year.
The very lovely John Barrowman has told TV Biz that he has one pressing ambition, and that is to share the favours that life has heaped on him with troubled youngsters who haven’t enjoyed a similarly blessed life.
And to that end, along with his partner, Scott Gill, he’d like to adopt kids who’ve had troubled lives, .
John, who of course starred as Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood - and who has also starred in Desperate Housewives and Hotel Babylon – explained, “We haven’t ruled out having children ourselves but it depends where my career takes us.
“We wouldn’t want a baby. We’d look at adopting an older child or teenager who might have been in trouble.
“We would also look at adopting a gay child, thrown out of their home because of their sexuality… Read more & comment »
Torchwood star Gareth David-Lloyd is such an ardent Welshman, he was determined that his daughter should be born in Wales and not in England…
So in order to ensure he had the time to gets his wife Gemma to a hospital in Wales, he had a clause written into his Torchwood contract that enabled him to take time off from filming when Gemma went into labour.
The Sun states, “Gareth and Gemma ended up driving from Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, where he was filming for the show, to Abergavenny in Gwent just in time for baby Lily Christina to arrive in his homeland…” Read more & comment »
Torchwood actor John Barrowman has revealed that he thinks the next incarnation of Doctor Who should be a woman.
John, who of course plays Captain Jack Harkness in the spin-off series, said, “I think a female Doctor might work.
“I know there are a lot of young girls and women who would love that.
“I think they should go out on a limb and try it.
“If Captain Jack can be an omni-sexual time agent, why can’t we have a female Doctor?”
He told The Sun that he thought comedienne Catherine Tate — who has of course previously starred in the show — would be ideal as the next Time Lord… Read more & comment »
John Barrowman has confessed that he would love to return for a guest appearance on Doctor Who.
The Torchwood star – who is currently promoting his ‘Best Of’ album – even has the details of his return worked our and wants to make his comeback in the series’ 50th anniversary in November 2013.
The Scottish star told BANG Showbiz: “It’s the 50th anniversary coming up of ‘Doctor Who’ and Jack is an integral part to this story and, if I’m going to be a little self-absorbed, I would hope he would be involved, it would be a shame if he wasn’t.”
Is that a PhiCorp logo you've discovered, Gwen?
Torchwood: Miracle Day will draw to an “explosive” finale on Friday (or next Thursday for UK residents) and the promo videos promise EVERYTHING will be revealed.
We’ve dredged through the teaser trailers, and it looks like there’s going to be plenty of shock and awe in the final. Bombs will go BOOM and necks will get broken. And hopefully we’ll get an explanation about what’s going on. One that actually makes sense. OK, that might be asking too much.
Anyway, without further waffling, and without any official synopsis, here’s what we’re inferring from the trailers we’ve seen so far:
Ah, Torchwood: Miracle Day. It was the fourth season that shouldn’t have happened. Children Of Earth was too successful, meaning that the show couldn’t be quietly smothered on its deathbed with a pillow. Therefore we got Miracle Day the show in which the characters became immortal while the audience slowly became suicidal.
...even Rhys looks bored by it all
It’s that bad. Just ask Rhys.
John Barrowman has admitted that despite being openly gay, he still has a massive female following, who seem more enthusiastic than your general Tom Jones fan!
The Torchwood star has confessed that he regularly gets raunchy pictures of naked women posted to him, as well as items of underwear and requests for similar items of his own to be sent back.
Speaking about his ardent fanbase, Barrowman laughed:
Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has denied rumours that Matt Smith may appear in Torchwood.
The acclaimed writer and producer said that the spinoff show is too adult in it’s nature and he would be worried that an appearance by The Doctor in the series, would prompt children to start watching the inappropriate material.
Insisting that a crossover of that nature would never be possible, Moffat told TVLine:
Torchwood has been a critical hit for both BBC and US TV network Starz since it launched earlier this month, however it seems that fans shouldn’t assume that the future is bright for the show.
The Doctor Who spinoff is currently part way through it’s current series Torchwood: Miracle Day but speaking at TV critics tour this week, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht told EW.com that it’s popularity will not guarantee it an annual place on it’s viewing schedules.
Grey’s Anatomy have done it, Scrubs have done it, heck even Glee have done it (oh wait, they always do it!) and now it may be the turn of the Torchwood cast to show us their jazz hands.
John Barrowman revealed at Comic Con today that he would love to star in a musical version of the hit sci-fi show.
The actor is currently starring as Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood: Miracle Day but has plenty of singing experience and when asked if he would like to see Jack and Gwen bursting into song, The Daily Star quote’s John as saying:
We always did love John Barrowman, he knows how to give a good interview and watching him at Comic Con this week was one of the most entertaining things we have ever done.
The Torchwood star was chatting about the new series of the Doctor Who spinoff, which is currently airing on BBC One in the UK and Starz in America, when a fan asked of Captain Jack would be singing at all in Miracle day.
John Barrowman has revealed that he would love to return to Doctor Who for the show’s 50th anniversary episode.
The Torchwood star – who is best known as time traveller Captain jack Harkness – first took on the role in the 2005 Doctor Who episode “The Empty Child”and has reappeared on the show on various occasions.
In recent years he has been busy with his own spinoff show and hasn’t starred on Doctor Who since David Tennant left and Matt Smith became the eleventh incarnation of the famous Time Lord.
