Moffat’s the reason Captain Jack isn’t back
So John Barrowman said that it’s ‘certain egos’ stopping Torchwood coming back. He’s talking about Steven Moffat who thankfully is leaving. Good riddance.

-‘as long as Steven Moffat is involved, Jack will not be back.
-Then mentioned about Chris Chibnall taking over and taking him for dinner.Moffat has never had anything to do with Torchwood. Torchwood is RTD’s baby so if it’s not the BBC’s lack of interest in Torchwood why Torchwood hasn’t come back (or Starz) he’s a more likely candidate for why than Moffat.
Why is Moffat often seen as this all powerful figure who just needs to snap his fingers and the BBC does whatever he wants? He doesn’t even have complete creative control over DW, there are many producers and execs above him that things will need to be cleared with. If the BBC wanted to make more Torchwood there is nothing Moffat can say that would stop them. Showrunners just don’t have that kind of power.
