John Barrowman responds to finale set reports
A 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 his character will be making a comeback at some point in the Tenth Doctor’s regeneration story, simply claiming that a picture was taken of him whilst he was out shopping in Tesco’s (wearing his Captain Jack costume!) 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…
Good ol’ Tesco,aye?
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!
It does look super imposed I have to say…
But, it isn’t. Anyone can tell that.
I must admit that pic could have come from filming of Journeys End, Utopia or just torchwood and someones got the wrong end of the stick
“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…”
I’m taking this as my proof that he was there. It’s very sadistic ‘fans’ who make things like this up.
