The actor chats about all things Torchwood in its 10th Anniversary, including his desire to bring it back to our screens. John says:
”I just really would love to see Torchwood back again.
Because I love the show, I’m passionate about it, I love the character, and there’s a lot of – bluntly – money to be made by the BBC from the Torchwood brand. I’m speaking from a business point of view now. It’s a branding dream."
The actor goes on to mention future Doctor Who boss Chris Chibnall, who worked extensively on the first two series of Torchwood. Barrowman states:
"I’m going to try to take Chris Chibnall out to dinner – because if Chris decided that he wanted to do Torchwood, or to give us his blessing, that would be fantastic. Chris was a great supporter of Torchwood, and he was our major writer for those first two series – so who knows? I’m telling you, I can raise the money to bring it back. I know that.”
He also talks about Torchwood creator, and the man who brought Captain Jack to Doctor Who, former showrunner Russell T Davies:
"When I want to bring it back to television, only with Russell’s blessing. Anything we do, anything we ever do, I want to make sure that he’s with us on it – and thank goodness he is.”
