John Barrowman has revealed during a press conference promoting the latest series of Arrow (in which he is a series regular) that Torchwood is to return! At this stage, it is a return to radio, the medium in which the last adventures were aired back in 2011.

“My sister and I are discussing the possibility of writing one of them and whether or not that leads to something,” said Barrowman, with the understanding that there is a possibility that a return to TV for Russell T Davies’ Doctor Who spinoff, which starred Barrowman as Time Agent Captain Jack Harkness, erstwhile companion of the Doctor. Of equal importance to the original show was Gwen Cooper, played by Eve Myles who is currently messing with David Tennant’s head in Broadchurch, by former Torchwood writer Chris Chibnall, although Barrowman indicated that at least one story would feature the full Torchwood cast, which would indicate Naoko Mori and Burn Gorman would be involved as well as Gareth David Lloyd. Fans will recall that Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper died at the end of Series 2, with Ianto Jones following in the acclaimed Children of Earth.

Apparently three or four plays are planned at this stage, with Barrowman apparently able to head to the UK to record them (and even appear on TV if necessary) with the blessing of Arrow’s producers.

Now, this is where it gets really interesting. Not only is Russell T Davies involved with this radio revival, but he is being assisted by his former Executive Producer colleague Julie Gardner…

What do you think, readers? Is it time for a Torchwood revival?
