The Doctor has crossed over into The Sarah Jane Adventures twice now, but could he also appear in Torchwood in future?

Posed the question at the Torchwood: Miracle Day press launch, Russell T Davies said: ?No, the Doctor?s never gone into Torchwood. It?s always been the other way round, Torchwood?s gone into Doctor Who, which I think is correct because there?s a big child audience for Doctor Who and I think that would demand if we took the Doctor into Torchwood it would be a clash of styles.?

John Barrowman also added: ?I think it?s hard for Doctor Who to come into Torchwood because Doctor Who is a more family-oriented show. We?re an adult show. It?s easier for Jack to go into that show because he started there but not the other way because Jack is very different in Torchwood.?

However, in Doctor Who Magazine #435, Davies did say that there are references to Doctor Who in Miracle Day and the Doctor does actually get mentioned.

Yeah, I really don't think the Doctor fits very well into the Torchwood universe as a whole. That's not to say they couldn't do a crossover at all, it COULD work, but it would be harder than Jack visiting the Doctor obviously. They've done some sly same sex kissy huggy stuff in DW with Jack before (and recently with Matt Smith's Doctor), but nothing overt like in Torchwood.

Still, Jack SHOULD be on Doctor Who more often. If he is truly going to evolve into the Face of Boe, and is supposedly such a good friend of the Doctor's over the years, it would make sense for him to show up to help/whatever once in a blue moon. Torchwood/Jack hasn't even been mentioned on DW proper since Matt Smith right?

Technically there is no Torchwood Universe, it along with Sarah Jane takes place in the Doctor Who Universe. /overly picky :p

But seriously, I know what you mean, and I agree that Jack should be on Doctor Who, he at least needs to meet the current Doctor once before Matt Smith moves on, whenever that is going to be.

Didn't Moffat create Jack in the first place from when he wrote the episode with the kid and the gas mask? lol.

And as far as I know, Torchwood or any of the characters have yet to be mentioned in Series 5/6 so far, I was wondering if the whole Universe "rebooting" and anything from the end of Series 5 was going to be mentioned in Torchwood, then remembered that no one but the main 4 seemingly remembered anything, lol.

I'd LOVE for the Doctor to show up in Torchwood, but yeah... the whole adult thing. I'm really hoping Jack comes back to DW though--I'd love to see his first meeting with the Eleventh Doctor.

That said...

If Jack showed up in DW then Amy AND Rory would have to look out, he's too much sex drive for those two to handle.

Honestly though, with Tourchwood being the more dark/adult version or w/e you can see how, maybe, it wouldn't work if the doctor showed up BUT this new season of DW is already more "adult" and darker anyways. It's closer to tourchwood then in the past I'd say, so I think at this point it could work out just fine really.

This may amuse people of here...

Naked Doctor Who star Karen Gillan and a riotous New York party

It's the kind of awkward situation where she could have done with a Tardis to take her away. Doctor Who star Karen Gillan was found naked in a New York hotel corridor after a night of riotous partying. Miss Gillan, 23, who plays the Time Lord?s assistant Amy Pond, was seen ?whimpering? in the nude by guests at 7am before security arrived, wrapped her in a sheet and escorted her to her room.

Her appearance prompted guests to nickname her ?Lady Godiva?. She and co-stars including Matt Smith, who plays the Doctor, had been put up at The Ace, one of Manhattan?s trendiest hotels, during a promotional trip.

After fulfilling their duties, the cast and crew enjoyed ?one long party?, according to fellow guests. One permanent male guest told the Daily Mail he heard someone trying to open his door at 7am. The resident, who later identified the stranger as Miss Gillan, said: ?I went to the peephole and looked out. I saw a man at the lift who was looking back at someone who was attempting to open my door? the next thing I saw was a woman giving this person at my door two towels before getting into the lift and leaving. ?Then I saw this young woman, completely naked, trying to wrap two towels around her and not having much luck. ?She then started to whimper and knock on my door. Seeing that she wasn?t getting anywhere, she lay down with the towels covering her.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
