" Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has said that The Doctor will never appear in Torchwood.  The Sherlock writer argued that the Time Lord - currently played by Matt Smith - would not be an appropriate addition to the more adult spinoff series, but teased that John Barrowman&amp;#039;s Captain Jack Harkness could continue to appear in both programmes.  &amp;quot;The Doctor could never go to Torchwood,&amp;quot; Moffat told TVLine. &amp;quot;[Torchwood executive] Russell [T Davies] and I both agree on that. Doctor Who has a tremendous relationship with children in Britain. They&amp;#039;d want to watch Torchwood then, and it&amp;#039;s not really a children&amp;#039;s show.&amp;quot; Moffat further teased that he had planned for Captain Jack to cameo in Doctor Who&amp;#039;s most recent episode, &amp;#039;A Good Man Goes To War&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d have [brought back Captain Jack] for &amp;#039;A Good Man Goes To War&amp;#039;, but John was busy doing Miracle Day...

We need to bring Jack back for it&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Barrowman previously declared that he would return to Doctor Who &amp;quot;at the drop of a hat&amp;quot;. He revealed at Comic-Con last week that he would love a role on Doctor Who&amp;#039;s 50th anniversary in 2013.   &amp;amp;gt; Doctor Who return date confirmed, &amp;quot;huge&amp;quot; twists teased at Comic-Con &amp;amp;gt; John Barrowman talks Torchwood: Miracle Day: &amp;#039;We delve into Jack&amp;#039;s past&amp;#039; Watch John Barrowman discussing Torchwood: Miracle Day with Digital Spy below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
