I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star John Barrowman has revealed he's pitched an idea for a Doctor Who spin-off film to the show's former boss, Russell T Davies.

While he didn't share any details about what the film would actually be about, Barrowman did tease that he wants to reunite 'The Golden Age' – or Barrowman, David Tennant and Billie Piper, as we know them.

The trio starred on Doctor Who together back in the early seasons of the modern run, with Barrowman playing the time travelling Captain Jack Harkness while David Tennant and Billie Piper, of course, played the Doctor and Rose Tyler respectively.

"I can't remember what ceremony it was," Barrowman told RadioTimes.com, "but I was speaking to [Davies] – he'd picked up an award for A Very English Scandal – and we said: 'Wouldn't it be great if we could do a Torchwood or Doctor Who movie with Jack, David and Billie?'"

He continued: "If I can boast, the three of us, we all call each other 'The Golden Age' [laughs]… The three of us made such an impact that people still talk about us to this day, which is great!"

Of course, as great an idea as it is, we're not sure we'll ever get a reunion film with the three characters – not least because Davies stepped down from Doctor Who showrunner duties in 2010, with Steven Moffat and later Chris Chibnall taking over control of the show.

Earlier this year, Davies also ruled out the idea of returning to the show or creating a one-off special, saying: "It'll be like coming back to a job I did 10 years ago, wouldn't it? Who would do that?"

Fortunately, Doctor Who and Torchwood fans can still keep up with Jack Harkness' adventures in the Big Finish audio book series, with recent releases seeing him reunite with Captain John Hart (James Marsters) and even becoming the actual Doctor.

As for the Doctor Who on our TV screens, the show's Thirteenth Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) will be back in 2020, with Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill all be returning for series 12 too.

Doctor Who airs on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.
