Aside from John Barrowman playing one of the most popular characters in Doctor Who in the reboot era, he’s also an incredible fan of the show. So, as a fellow fan, who does he want to see in the 50th anniversary special?

John Barrowman and his sister Carole sat down with Cultbox to discuss the sequel to their children’s novel, Hollow Earth. John Barrowman addressed a possible Torchwood follow-up based on the Torchwood novel, Exodus Code, he and his sister wrote last year, and what he wants for the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.

CB: There has been lots of demand from Torchwood fans for there to be an adaptation of Exodus Code. Is this something you’d be up for as a movie, TV series, webisodes or comic?

JB: “We’d be up for all of those things, especially a movie or another series.”

CB: John, you’ve said that there are currently no plans for Captain Jack to appear in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special. Aside from Jack, who else would you personally as a fan like to see in the special?

JB: “Davros, Donna, and my Doctor [David Tennant]. I love the whole Doctor Who universe. I’m excited for all the celebrations.”

Barrowman is currently starring in the CW’s Arrow, which is one of the most successful new TV shows this season. He has a standing agreement with the producers of Arrow that he will be given time off if he is asked to participate in the 50th anniversary.

Next up for Barrowman is continued work on Arrow, and the U.K. and U.S. book tours of Bone Quill, the sequel to Hollow Earth.

Does Barrowman’s wishlist match yours? Have you read Exodus Code, and would you like to see it filmed?
