It's now less than five weeks before we will all be sobbing our hearts out as we bid farewell to Mr Tennant. :crying: :crying:
John Barrowman has said that he does not think Captain Jack Harkness will return for Matt Smith's first series of Doctor Who.
The star is tipped to appear in David Tennant's final two-parter as the Tenth Doctor, but Barrowman said that he was not sure if he would reappear in the programme.
Barrowman told Radio 2: "I don't know about Captain's Jack future in Doctor Who because nothing has been said or I haven't been asked.
"I'm kind of prepared that I won't be in any of it, which is fine."
He added: "But we are discussing the future of Torchwood because most definitely Torchwood will come back to the BBC, which is fantastic.
"We're not sure when, because we have to work out the logistics of the filming - and it's already said that it'll be 13 episodes instead of 5."
Torchwood's creator Russell T. Davies recently confirmed that he expected to start work to start on the fourth series in January.

Not a spoiler as such but I could not find a general Dr Who thread. Interesting news though, I think.
The Royal Mint at Llantrisant has announced the launch of a limited range of gold and silver Doctor Who collectible medals.
The Tenth Doctor, K-9 and the Tardis will be the first ever TV characters to be immortalised in this way, the South Wales Echo reports.
Head of UK licensing at BBC Worldwide Richard Hollis said: "David Tennant's performance as The Doctor has been applauded and celebrated across the country and these medals are a fantastic way for fans to collect a lasting memento."
Royal Mint director of commemorative coins David Knight added: "Just as The Doctor is timeless, so too is the enduring appeal of the television series which continues to entertain audiences across the world.
"We hope fans everywhere will find these medals a fitting tribute not just to David Tennant, but to the whole Doctor Who story."
The 500 nine-carat gold medals will be available for £150 each, with the 5,000sterling silver medals on sale for £35.

Bill Nighy is to guest star in an episode of the new series of Doctor Who, Digital Spy can reveal.
The veteran actor will play the curator of a Vincent van Gogh exhibition in the episode, which is penned by Richard Curtis.
A set insider told DS: "It was a real coup to get Bill Nighy in Doctor Who, especially in Richard Curtis's amazing episode. Bill plays a van Gogh expert with some similar fashion choices to The Doctor himself."
The story is set both in the present day and 19th Century France. This Life actor Tony Curran was previously confirmed in the role of van Gogh.
The episode - the tenth in the new series - was filmed on location in Croatia and Cardiff over Christmas.
A BBC spokesperson said: "We do not comment on storyline or character speculation.
The new Doctor Who trailer will premiere this Saturday on BBC One, it has been announced.
The promo for the new series, which stars Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, will also simulcast on the official Who website.
Additionally, the BBC has unveiled a new promo shot for the series, which sees The Doctor and companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) pictured together for the first time.
The pair are pictured in a swirling vortex with some of the Doctor’s fiercest enemies including a Dalek, a Weeping Angel and a Smiler.
James Corden has landed a role in Doctor Who, according to tabloid reports.
The Sun says that the Gavin & Stacey star was spotted on a train learning lines for the show while en route to the set in Cardiff.
A show insider is quoted as saying: "We normally keep our guest stars under wraps but you can't hide a bloke like James.
"And now he's not coming to Wales for Gavin & Stacey anymore, it's pretty obvious why he is here. James loves coming to Wales. And it gives him a chance to meet up with Ruth Jones, who co-wrote Gavin and Stacey with him and starred as Nessa."
The source added: "We're just delighted to have James on board. He is a great actor and he'll be a perfect fit for the new Doctor Who."
This morning, show officials refused to confirm or deny the story, telling DS: "We do not comment on casting or storyline speculation."
