Sometimes, Jack gets to sit back and allow others to do things, and that’s enjoyable for me, also, because Jack’s the leader of the pack. But sometimes it’s nice to take that weight and put it on somebody else. And in fact, that’s what happens a little bit in this one, because things can happen to him.

Do you enjoy, at the end of a Torchwood run, being able to walk away and do all the other stuff you do?

Oh, absolutely. I would have it no other way. I would go nuts if I had to do the one thing. I enjoy the variety that my career has afforded me so far, and I’ve worked very hard to establish myself in both aspects of it. I enjoy my recording, my concert tour, and ironically, when I went to the States to do Torchwood, nobody knew all the other stuff I do over here.

So, when they say, “What are you doing after this?” and I tell them, they go, “What?!” And I tell them this is a fraction of what I do. It’s a big impacted fraction, but I love all the other stuff too.

I’m doing Tonight’s The Night at the moment, I’m off to finish my new album, I’ve got my concert tour coming up, which I write and we co-produce. Then I’ve got pantomime. And if all goes well, after this, going back to do another Torchwood!

John Barrowman, thank you very much!
