For a long time I was angry at the cast and crew of Torchwood. I used to wander around muttering angrily and cursing 'The Barrowman' as I termed him. I imagined a gun broken over my arm, and, like Elmer Fudd chasing rabbits, had the Barrowman crossed my path, I would have peppered him with imaginary buckshot.

I work in a stately home where Torchwood and Doctor Who is often filmed. In the cellars of said stately home was a 17th century door that I was extremely proud of. It was quite rare in a cellar. It resembled Chinese Chippendale in style and I couldn't resist bragging about it when the public wandered through the cavernous beer cellars. Then, last year, when BBC Wales were filming an episode of Torchwood there, the door got 'snapped completely in two'. I was devastated. Further investigation revealed that it was Captain Jack himself who had fallen against the door with such force that it split in two. The malevolent figure of 'The Barrowman' was born.

The door has since been restored and my anger towards 'The Barrowman' is slowly receding. Accidents happen. Ya wouldn't catch David Tennant crushing antique doors though. He was a true gent.
