BBC America has just picked up a new musical theater reality series featuring John Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack. Any Dream Will Do, with eleven 90 minute episodes, will chronicle the search for a new male talent to play Joseph in the West End revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Graham Norton hosts the series which also showcases Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Any Dream Will Do makes its U.S. premiere on March 29 at 8 PM– and if that’s not enough for you, it will be followed by a one-hour special The Making of Me: John Barrowman.

All right, you fans of Jack/John… get going.

torchwood-a-1-1859017The BBC issued a press release today announcing that production has begun on the shortened third season of their series Torchwood.  The "Children of Earth" storyline will last a mere five episodes which the UK will broadcast as a week-long event in early 2009.  BBC America is expected to air the series soon after.

The release was scant on plot details, merely stating, the team will “battle for the future of the human race against the fiercest force they have encountered.” The story is scripted by  series producer and co-creator Russell T. Davies, John Fay (Coronation) and James Moran (Doctor Who) and is being directed by Euros Lyn (Doctor Who).

Torchwood, the more adult brother to Doctor Who, will be returning to the airwaves on Wednesday, January 16th for another 13 episode run.

To the BBC in the United Kingdom, of course. Its North American debuts will happen… later.

Buffy’s James Marsters (well, also Smallville’s James Marsters and Without A Trace’s James Marsters) is set to become the series’ main villain, a rogue Time Agent named Captain (!) John Hart. As promised, Freema Agyeman will drop by for several episodes mid-season in her role as The Doctor’s companion Martha Jones. After her Torchwood stint, Martha will be returning to Doctor Who to team up with several other companions, present and past. And Torchwood star John Barrowman is expected to be around for the finale to next season’s Doctor Who as well.

But first, Captain Jack must survive Captain John, as well as a slew of other menaces as they "visit" such times as World War I and the 51th Century.
