Torchwood star John Barrowman has revealed that the sci-fi spin-off will be back with a 13-episode fourth season.

Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness, today said they won’t be repeating the format of Season 3, which aired as a five-episode miniseries called Children of Earth over five consecutive nights.

The 42-year-old actor, speaking on the BBC’s Steve Wright in the Afternoon, admitted Doctor Who had changed the course of his career and Captain Jack changed his life.

He said: “We are discussing the future of Torchwood because most definitely Torchwood will come back to the BBC.

“We are not sure when because we have to work out the logistics of filming and it’s already been said that it will be 13 episodes rather than five.”

Asked if he’d be appearing in the next Doctor Who series, starring new Time Lord Matt Smith, he said: “I don’t know about Captain Jack’s future in Doctor Who because nothing has been said or I haven’t been asked. I am kind of prepared that I won’t be in any of it, which is fine.”

The Steve Wright in the Afternoon show can be heard on the BBC iPlayer.
