Captain Jack is about to return (to British tv screens at least ;)

John Barrowman will once again step into the shoes of Captain Jack Harkness, when the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood launches on BBC Three on October 22nd.

Created by Russell T. Davies - the man behind the recent revival of the long-running Doctor Who franchise, Torchwood deals with the activites of the fictional Torchwood Institute.

An initial 13-part series has been comissioned by the BBC, after the character of Captain Jack and the Torchwood Institute were seperately introduced during the adventures of the Ninth and Tenth Doctors.
Other characters include include Police officer Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) Torchwood medic Owen Harper (Burn Gorman), Toshiko Sato (Naoko Mori), and receptionist Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd).
