John Barrowman responds to finale set reports

May 6th, 2009

john_barrowmanA few days ago, John Barrowman was spotted in Cardiff filming a scene for this year’s Doctor Who finale, confirming his return as Captain Jack Harkness for David Tennant’s last episode. Or so we thought…

The man himself has since denied the fact he will be making a comeback in the Tenth Doctor’s regeneration story, claiming that a picture was taken of him whilst he was out shopping and superimposed onto a different background to make it look like he was busy at work on location.

“I hate to burst your bubble,” he told DigitalSpy. “But I do have my own Captain Jack outfit, and all my fans know I do. I have everything. And that actually was me, coming out of Tesco. Running to my car.”

He added: “They just superimposed me in a different sequence because it’s newsworthy. And I tell you the honest to God truth, I haven’t seen a script. I have no clue what everyone’s talking about.”

No doubt he’s trying his darn hardest to keep what happens in the finale tightly under wraps, despite the fact he was seen arriving and leaving on set by eagle-eyed fans who were also present at the time…

God bless the Barrowman! Who knows what he’ll come out with next? Probably another album, actually…

    I think he’s lying. RTD loves lying to the press, why wouldn’t the Barrowman do so too? I bet he’s back. Can’t get rid of Boomerang Jack!

    But, it isn’t. Anyone can tell that.

    I’m taking this as my proof that he was there. It’s very sadistic ‘fans’ who make things like this up.
