Doctor Who: 10 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Skip The 9th Doctor

4. Captain Jack Harkens

Ok - Definitely not Clara. I hope.

Obviously one of the greatest things about Nine€™s series is the introduction of the unabashedly saucy Captain Jack Harkness. If his first words on the show - €œExcellent bottom!€ - weren€™t enough to draw you in, then not only are you WRONG but you should also keep watching, because there€™s more where that came from. The man who wound up as the lead protagonist of his own spin-off show, €œTorchwood€, has plenty to offer in these not-so-humble beginnings on Who. His first appearance in €œThe Empty Child/The Doctor Dances€ (which is probably my favourite episode from series one, as a side note) saw him tether his spaceship to Big Ben and also ride away straddling a massive bomb, not to mention his too-hot-to-handle military coat and combover. This flirt was back in €œBoom Town€ to help save the day in modern day Cardiff, and then again in €œBad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways€ where he got naked on television and helped The Game Station€™s viewing figures skyrocket. The series culminated in the birth of his immortality, but who could forget the way he said goodbye? Kissing Rose and then The Doctor smack on the lips was a sign of things to come on €œTorchwood€. Lock up your daughters and wives, because Jack€™s on board the TARDIS and ready to flirt with anything with a pulse.
