John Barrowman has revealed that a return to Doctor Who for Captain Jack Harkness is “in the cards”.

In a recent interview with Zap2It, the actor revealed: “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. It’s in the cards, but who knows whether it will happen.” The character will be back on our screens next month in the new series of Torchwood, Miracle Day.

Want to see Jack back in Doctor Who? How’d you think he’d take to the Eleventh Doctor?

    I agree with these other comments. To see Jack and River up against each other would be amazing!

    I’ve been thinking for ages how funny it could be if Jack and River ever met up. They’re both 51st century, after all, they should have plenty to talk about…:p

    I’d love to see Jack again :) I’d quite like RTD to come back just for an episode and write him :) Lvoe to see what he’d be like with Eleven though, especially since the current series seems like its cut off from the RTD era :) Although they did use SJ which I thought was great!

    Since Jack is Moffat’s creation, I don’t think it would be weird for him to make an appearance.

    Heres what I want to see…

    Jack: And who might you be? (To River)
    River: Professer River Song and yourself?
    Jack: Captain Jack Harkness but you can call me the Captain (Winks to River)
    Rory: Hey, thats my daughter! (Punches Jack)

    That would be very funny

    Captain Jack coming back would be truly brilliant thing

    Hope this happens especially if it connects in with Torchwood

    I want Jack in Doctor Who, and somewhere in the future, The Doctor in Torchwood

    Okay.
    Jack should meet the Doctor again through Canton Everet Delaware III.
    He should compliment the Doctor’s bowtie.
    And he should explode everyone’s minds with sexy banter with River.
    (Innuendos… IN SPAAAAACE)

    @Baxi

    Even funnier if Amy was hitting on him as well. And you just know she would be.
