The Church of John

No, no - I'm not proposing that us Woodies unite to set up a religion based solely around John Barrowman. That would just be silly (wouldn't it?!?). No, instead I'm hear to pass on a little gem of information regarding an upcoming appearence John's soon going to be making on Channel 4's "Charlotte Church Show".

Readers with long memories will remember the days when it looked likely that Church would land the role of Gwen Cooper (eventually rewarded to the ever reliable Eve Myles). Now the once teen pop idol leads her own late night chat show - and one that Billie Piper guest appeared on just last Friday.

John records his own appearence on March 28th, with the show eventually broadcasting two days later (on Friday 30th March). It's likely that John will have then already started rehearsals on Torchwood season two, and so may drop a few hints on what's to come. On top of that, he's likely to discuss his upcoming return in Doctor Who year three - and any other projects the man's got up his sleeve.

If you're reading this John, I set you a challenge; to mention torchwood.tv at least once during the interview. Go on, reward your all time favourite fan site writers, and put a big grin on Kurly's face - I dare you!

Take care folks - and remember that congregation meets for the first time a week this Sunday...

Why not propose a Church of John? It's certainly less wacky than all the other religions out there.

Torchwood.TV gets mentioned on the podshock podcast from time to time. I think that will probably be the most we can hope for as far as media exposure.

There is a gag here about being on mu knees in front of John Barrowman on a sunday morning .. but I'll leave it....

Yes, let us start a church to the Barrowman - it will give us all something to do withthe next census afterall - they got Jedi to be a religion last time, if we did that it would be un-PC to ever cancel Torchwood hahaha!

I can't officially worship John, however if I wanted to have a picture of a heavenly figure, he would be it!

He's definately got a heavenly figure :-)

Amen to that!

Really random point, but how can Charlotte Church have been expected to play Gwen when Russell T. Davies said right from the start that he was writing the part especially for Eve Myles?

I'm not sure about a religion dedicated to John Barrowman,(no offence John, if you're reading this), but how about a religion dedicated to Torchwood? It'd be better than some of the other religions out there.

Not sure if a Woodie religion will catch on, as it has been established repeatedly in the show that there is 'nothing' after death.

Whoever heard of a decent religion that didn't come packaged with some sexy afterlife to look forward to?
