Doctor Who Revolution Of The Daleks: 10 Huge Talking Points After The New Year Special
8. Since When Did Jack Have A Room In The TARDIS?
As far as we know, Jack hadn’t seen the Doctor since the dying Tenth Doctor set him up with Alonso Frame in The End of Time Part 2. On screen at least, he has never met the Eleventh or Twelfth Doctors. He is surprised when he learns the Doctor has finally regenerated into a woman (Fugitive of the Judoon).
The idea that Jack has a room in the TARDIS will have therefore been as much a surprise to fans, as it was to the Doctor. The Tenth Doctor once invited him to become a crew member of the TARDIS, but Jack turned the offer down in order to continue at Torchwood (The Last of the Time Lords). Prior to that he had effectively been dropped by the Doctor following the events of The Parting of the Ways. There is no hint that he spent enough time with either the Ninth or Tenth Doctor to have been given his own room and cocktail bar.
It is of course possible that Jack has spent time with a future Doctor, not realising that the Jodie Whittaker Doctor came before him. Cue the speculation that the next Doctor will be a male and will have Jack as a full-time companion.
