Tovey Joins Torchwood Team?

In the latest Doctor Who Magazine (issue #417) John Barrowman has hinted that Russell Tovey as Alonso Frame may be in line to join the Torchwood team for the show's fourth series. He said, in a joint interview with Tovey, "What I'd love, what I think would be great, is if Midshipman Frame became Jack's companion in Torchwood. He's the perfect companion for Jack."


Fans who have already seen 'The End Of Time - Part 2' will already know that a scene involving both Captain Jack Harkness and Midshipman Alonso Frame (set on the planet "Zog", according to RTD) also strongly suggested that the character - originally from 'The Voyage Of The Damned' episode - would become something more than just another cameo appearance. Also, those of you who have read The Writer's Tale book by Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook will know that Tovey, in the words of John Barrowman, "had a big effect" on Russell T and considering the filming months of Being Human (which Tovey is a lead star of) and Torchwood, it is certainly possible.

Whether it is true, we'll have to wait for some sort of announcement from the BBC.

Do you think Alonso Frame will join Torchwood? Do you think he should?
