John Barrowman, who appeared at the London Film and Comic Con on 2 July, announced that he has signed a contract to appear in Series Three of Doctor Who as Captain Jack Harkness, the role he originated in the final five episodes of Series One and will reprise in the forthcoming spinoff series "Torchwood". Barrowman indicated that he would be filming "Torchwood" through October; he noted that after he finishes work on that series in October, which he noted is "just as it's going on air," he will return to Doctor Who through the end of 2006's filming schedule. (No indication if he returns after the holiday recording break, however.)
Barrowman also addressed some questions about "Torchwood," saying that the "two years missing" from Jack's memory would be addressed in that series, that he's enjoying filming with his current fellow castmates (including an actor named Gareth, last name unknown, who plays the recurring role of "Lanto") and that the character becomes "a bit darker, a bit more mysterious because he doesn't want to give himself away right off the bat. That's all I'll say. But you'll still like him." A transcript of Barrowman's appearance at the event has been posted by the actor's official website
