Barrowman is returning to the role once more in the Big Finish audio drama box set, The Lives of Captain Jack — which is released in June.

Speaking to The Fan Show, John talked about what it would be like for Jack to meet the current regeneration, the Twelfth Doctor. The actor said:
"I actually would like to see Peter Capaldi’s Doctor meet Jack.
The Doctor’s a little bit older, perfect - Jack’s matured a little bit. Would that spark still be there? Would Jack still feel the same about him?
Would he think, ‘I’m not sure about your cape there, sir. What happened to the coat? Why a cape? Why have you gone all Dracula on me!?"
