CAPTAIN JACK INTERVIEWS SERIES
Jack returned in 2006 as a character of the spin-off series Torchwood, in which he is a member of the Cardiff-based Torchwood Three in combating alien threats and monitoring a spacetime rift which runs through Cardiff. She and the Doctor subsequently leave Jack behind on Satellite 5. Rose brings him back to life while suffused with the power of the time vortex, but when the power leaves her she doesn't remember doing it. During his time with the Doctor, Jack matures into a hero, and in his final 2005 appearance, he sacrifices himself fighting the evil alien Daleks. He subsequently travels with the Doctor and Rose in the Doctor's time-travelling spacecraft, the TARDIS. After the Doctor cures the plague, Jack redeems himself by taking an unexploded bomb into his ship the Doctor and Rose rescue him moments before it explodes. Now working as a con man, Jack is responsible for unwittingly releasing a plague in London in 1941. Although posing as an American volunteering in the Royal Air Force, Jack is actually a former "Time Agent" from the 51st century who left the agency after inexplicably losing two years of his memory. Jack Harkness first appeared in the 2005 Doctor Who two-part story, " The Empty Child" and " The Doctor Dances", when Rose Tyler ( Billie Piper), a companion of the Ninth Doctor ( Christopher Eccleston), meets him during the London Blitz. Jack is featured in various Doctor Who and Torchwood books and has action figures created in his likeness. As an ongoing depiction of bisexuality in mainstream British television, the character became a role model for young gay and bisexual people in the UK. The character became a figure of the British public consciousness, rapidly gaining fame for actor Barrowman.
The popularity of the character amongst multiple audiences directly influenced the development of the spin-off series Torchwood. Jack was the first openly non-heterosexual character in the history of televised Doctor Who. Aspects of the character's backstory-both prior to meeting the Doctor, and during his many decades living on Earth-are gradually revealed over Torchwood (and to a lesser extent, Doctor Who) through the use of flashback scenes and expository dialogue.
He later reunites with the Tenth Doctor ( David Tennant) and Thirteenth Doctor ( Jodie Whittaker) for further stints on Doctor Who. He spends over a century waiting to reunite with the Doctor, over which time he becomes the leader of the Torchwood branch in Cardiff. There he becomes a member of Torchwood, a British organization dedicated to combating alien threats. As a consequence of his death and resurrection in the Series 1 finale, " The Parting of the Ways", Jack becomes immortal and is stranded on 19th-century Earth. In the programme's narrative, Jack begins as a time traveller and con man from the 51st century, who comes to travel with the Ninth Doctor ( Christopher Eccleston) and his companion Rose Tyler ( Billie Piper). In contrast to The Doctor, Jack is more of a conventional action hero, as well as outwardly flirtatious and capable of acts which The Doctor would view as less than noble.
Barrowman reprised the role for appearances in Doctor Who in its third, fourth, and twelfth series, as well as specials " The End of Time", and " Revolution of the Daleks". Subsequent to this, Jack became the central character in the adult-themed Torchwood, which aired from 2006 to 2011. The character first appears in the 2005 Doctor Who episode " The Empty Child" and subsequently features in the remaining episodes of the first series (2005) as a companion to the series' protagonist, the Doctor. Fictional character Captain Jack HarknessĬaptain Jack Harkness is a fictional character played by John Barrowman in Doctor Who and its spin-off series, Torchwood.
