Entertainment multi-talent John Barrowman (Arrow, Torchwood, Doctor Who) suffered a major health scare this weekend, sharing that he was rushed to the hospital with a severe neck injury that left him (in his own words) "impossible for me to sing & move." The injury forced the celebrity to cancel his upcoming performances at the Bristol[...]

"It was actually commissioned by the controller of BBC One and budgeted," Davies told Doctor Who Magazine at the time.

He's been in the new season of Torchwood, a number of Torchwood stand-alone stories as well as in solo adventures as Captain Jack in the The Lives of Captain Jack series We say "series" for the latter, because Big Finish Productions is offering listeners a second box set series – or "seasons" – of adventures,[...]

Actors love doing them – they don't need to spend time in make-up, they don't need to be in costume, they can show up at the studio in their pajamas and slippers and it wouldn't matter, and there's no need to worry about waiting for the camera to be ready, lens changes or running out[...]

They say you can't keep a good man down… then again, no one ever accused James Marsters' (Buffy, Angel, Smallville, Runaways) Captain John Hart or co-star John Barrowman's (Arrow, Torchwood, Doctor Who) Captain Jack Harkness of being "good" men anyway We're not even sure either of them would mind being kept down – depending on[...]

From how the series will factor into the previously announced "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover and how certain storylines will be resolved to which familar faces will return, speculation continues to build. One person who is definitely interested in returning for Arrow's final season is actor/singer John Barrowman (Doctor Who, Torchwood), known to fans of the[...]

As she's explaining, the spaceships on Ralphie's pajamas spring to life, and a series of TIE Advanced x1's wage an attack on one of the normal spaceships. Married… with Children (s05 – : 'Married… With Aliens'): At the end of the episode, a credit scroll (painfully similar to the one used in Star Wars) announces how Al[...]

There is the expectation that the special will be the vehicle for The Twelfth Doctor's (Peter Capaldi) exit and The Thirteenth Doctor's (Jodie Whitaker) arrival. Moffat will also be exiting a series that he's helmed since 2010; and popular companion Bill (Pearl Mackie) will also mark her departure. Broadchurch creator and Torchwood writer Chris Chibnall will take[...]

John Barrowman revealed a new character created for the Torchwood comic published by Titan Comics: Sladen, named for the actress who played Sarah Jane Smith in the Doctor Who universe. Earlier this week, Barrowman teased the new character for the comic, which he co-writes with sister Carole Barrowman, in a Facebook video: And now he's revealed who that[...]

If you're a casual Torchwood fan (like I am) you'll easily recognize Gwen and Captain Jack, but the other characters are new to me Hopefully, if you've done your homework like this comic expects it's readers too, you'll know what's going on I did a quick Google search on the first comic and the novel,[...]

Octavio Karbank writes, OK: What's this particular Torchwood story about and where is the team emotionally when the story picks off? Carole Barrowman: Let me do a little bit of both and then he can jump in The first question, emotionally, they are in a much better place than where we left them in the TV show[...]

We all know John Barrowman as either Captain Jack Harkness on Doctor Who / Torchwood or as Malcolm Merlyn on Arrow We also know he's a song and dance man and a hell of a lot of fun at conventions He is also a writer, most often teaming with his sister Carole E Barrowman for[...]

I've taken to calling DC's Legends Of Tomorrow, DC's Legends Of Torchwood. On the basis that it's mental crazy, makes little sense, throws copious nonsense against the wall and hope it sticks, and should be congratulated on its sheer ballsiness against the face of accepted opinion regarding how television drama works Oh, and has a fellow from Doctor[...]

Just seconds after coming out he had the room roaring with laughter and a stampede rushed to the microphone to line up for questions. First thing's first: No more Torchwood or Doctor Who in Barrowman's foreseeable future He answered that he has not been approached for anything at the moment, but, even if he had been,[...]

Does he know he has a potentially rich spinoff show in his back pocket? Does he want to make it? Does he even care or have the time given he has his hands full running Doctor Who, ushering in Peter Capaldi and also co-running Sherlock with Mark Gatiss?  A Doctor Who spinoff is a potential[...]

Filmed there, with plenty of Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures action over the years as well, locals are used to walking past a TARDIS here and there. Which is why The Doctor and The TARDIS adorn one of the five covers of today's Cardiff Life's 100th magazine, drawn by Doctor Who artist Mike Collins… [...]

We don't talk about TORCHWOOD quite as much as we talk about DOCTOR WHO round these parts, probably because people like Rich and I were not so tolerant of the terrible, mawkish directions the first two series took in the writing department We wanted to like it, but it wasn't as inventive or funny[...]

Apart from a slight difference in screen ratio, there was no difference between Torchwood Miracle Day episode 1 as seen in the US and in the UK Reports about cut scenes due to violence in the UK, and cut scenes in the US for timeliness proved false The only noticeable change was in the next-episode[...]

Even last week at the BFI launch of Torchwood in London, one of the Q&A questions was if Jack was still wearing his braces (suspenders for the US folk) so people do care about costumes If you know Torchwood and Doctor Who, you know Jack Jack's first Doctor Who appearance was in full military dress[...]

Adi Tantimedh writes for Bleeding Cool: US cable channel Starz were holding preview screenings of the first episode of TORCHWOOD: MIRACLE DAY in cities across America on Tuesday evening, and I went over to the one in Downtown New York at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema, a rather nice Cineplex showing independent and arthouse films like Terrence[...]

There's this whole network of geek girl blogs that mostly exist for the writers to crow about how much of a geek they are because they watch a lot of Torchwood, and these folks are the ones leading the charge to let everybody be a geek Their argument: being a geek is about passion… To[...]

Are you ready? Okay, here it comes… the question is… Does anyone out there really give a crap about what kind of coat Captain Jack Harkness wears in Torchwood: Miracle Day? I'm going to wager a little bet that your answer, much like mine, was "uh, no." Because, truthfully, the design of Captain Jack's[...]
