Actors and crew have to sign a contract/clause to keep all aspects of the show a secret. If JB is filming under contract, he'd be obligated (and professional) to abide by the contract. "Whaddaya think I'm gonna tell you here?" Having said that, it seems likely that he'd be in the last episodes of DT time as Dr. Who. His comments about Dr. Who sound more of a true fan and shows his ablity to accept change. Additionally, his body language appears to show either frustration with the interviewer, or weariness in the line of questions (he must've answered several times same questions--different interviewer), or uncomfortable if he fibbed. Give the poor man a break, he's only human.

He is quite smart how he dodged the first question. I mean.. it wasn't actually the set... and he does run to the car... Half truths :D

I think he would be great in the finael. He such great talent and an asset to any British sitcom or show.
Belinda, London on May 7th, 2009
John wasn't lying: he was not photographed on SET, he was on LOCATION. He's a clever man, a lot smarter in dodging journalists' questions than you realise ;o) And he must be sick of being asked about Dr Who when he was there to promote Torchwood!
Stuart, Liverpool on May 7th, 2009
We haven't seen him on set, we saw him going into the Tiger Tiger club where filming was taking place with David Tennant - not a Tesco in site - and many multi-coloured aliens coming out - so technically he's right - we haven't seen him filming just going in and out and running to his car.
Sue, Sunderland on May 7th, 2009
OF COURSE HE WILL BE BACK IN DOCTOR WHO FOR THE FINALE, I COULD TELL BY HIS FACE, HE KNOWS HES GONNA BE THERE ! CAPTAIN JACK JUST COUDNT RESIST BEING THERE, IM SURE OF THAT.
Pap, Cardiff on May 7th, 2009
John come clean! You weren't at Tesco but leaving the Doctor Who set being filmed in a nightclub in Cardiff City Centre!!
Ian, Surrey on May 7th, 2009
That's a pity Charlie Jackpot, 'cause he's always very polite about you. Thanks for contributing so much to the discussion though!
Sue Whiteley, Milton Keynes on May 7th, 2009
John you are such a lying bugger!..you were seen. The fact that you were running away from camera proves your guilt!! I have my own dominatrix gear but i don't go shopping in it. ;)
Vicky on May 6th, 2009
Oh c'mon John- just be honest. We've heard all the assistants inc Rose are coming back for Tennant's finale, so it's highly likely Capt Jack will be back too, particularly having less presence on Torchwood (only the 5 eps).
MARILYN, WEST MIDS on May 6th, 2009
I would love to see John back in Dr Who. He may just be being careful what he says though as he may have been asked not to give too much away.
Ben, Lancashire on May 6th, 2009
Films himself coming out of Tesco dressed as Jack... seriously could he have found a worse excuse lol
Hannah, Brighton on May 6th, 2009
Methinks he does protest too much :P I'm hoping he will be back and lets face it, why would he go to Tesco in his Capt. Jack outfit? Although its John so he probably would :P
Dee, Ipswich on May 6th, 2009
I think John Barrowman is great! Can't wait for DW and TW.
El, UK on May 6th, 2009
So first he says he is back but then says he was actually just shopping dressed as Captain Jack? Confusing. But I'd love to see Jack in the finale definitely.
Catherine, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear on May 6th, 2009
Yes i want Cpt Jack in the finale he was in the finale of the last series as were lots of othere people.
Happy, UK on May 6th, 2009
John Barrowman is the best! He's brilliant as Captain Jack and I really can't wait for Torchwood to be back! Seriously cannot wait. Jack for Xmas pls also. :D
Justin, Suffolk on May 6th, 2009
Great mini interview - John's face whist being grilled! Priceless!
Alex - Essex on May 6th, 2009
Woo... I am not sure that I believe John in this Interview about not filming Doctor Who at the moment but he said he was doing something more interesting...
Laura Wright, Greater Manchester on May 6th, 2009
I want captain jack back in doctor who i love his charcter, i wish david tennet stayed in docor who he has been the best one so far and he is goin to be missed very much love you both very much xx
Marie, Dublin on May 6th, 2009
LOL! Aw, bless him. He is so bad at being evasive.
Andrew, Fife on May 6th, 2009
God this man really is stupid! After all the desperate interviews and appearances he's made with the media, you think he'd be savvy enough to be able to react better than that to cover up his lies! Kudos to you Neil for tripping him up! Love it! I really don't like the guy, live and let live, whatever etc, but his response to that was just so STUPID! 'I've had speaking parts in a lot of shows'. Yeah, so what?! That wasn't the question! Fool! ...And breathe!
jay,ldn on May 6th, 2009
i do not like john barrowman and i wish he would naff off our screens, or atleast off dr who! & yes it is FACT that hes in the specials everyones seens the bloody fotos, hes so bloody irritating
Troy - Aberdeen, North Carolina, USA on May 6th, 2009
He gave himself away. He protested too much and that makes me think he's lying. ...and the slip of the lip (Matt's 1st line) didn't help either. to paraphrase "Hamlet" "thou doth protest too much".
person, Edinburgh on May 6th, 2009
YESSS!!! I love him too... God that makes me sound like some crazed pervert but he is amazing
Ash, London on May 6th, 2009
i love captain jack would love to have him back on the show..it brings a whole new dimension to it. re:charlie i bet ur a man with an inferiority complex
Katie, Northampton on May 6th, 2009
I don't mean to burst John's bubble, but we have seen pictures of him on set and stuff! I think he is goiving some stuff away when he talks about Matt Smith's first line, mayve he has read a script. We can't know for sure until BBC have confirmed it and we see it on our screens later this year! However, i have to say John 'I love you'! HEHE That was totally inappropriate wasn't it? Oh well!
Donna, Caterham on May 6th, 2009
Well I for one would love to bump into "Captain Jack" in Tesco!!
charlie jackpot on May 6th, 2009
I really hate John Barrowman
