For those of us Yanks eagerly awaiting the arrival of John Barrowman's Captain Jack on this side of the pond, I've got a little appetizer to wet your appetite while we wait. Captain Jack showed up in the latest episode of Doctor Who which aired Saturday night in the UK and we've got some clips from it. Barrowman is his dashing self, but as a gay bonus, the episode also features another out Brit actor, the one-and-only Derek Jacobi of Gladiator, Gosford Park, Dead Again, and pretty much everything Shakespeare every did. ***Mild Spoiler*** While Barrowman plays the good guy, Jacobi gets to chew up the scenery as a villain. The new season of Doctor Who is set to air stateside next month and this particular ep should air here just about the time Torchwood finally debuts.

Here are some pics from Saturday's ep and the clip is after the jump.

That's Jacobi, Freeman Agyeman (Martha), David Tennant (The Doctor) and Barrowman

Speaking of Barrowman, the actor recently announced on his blog that his autobiography, titled Anything Goes, will be published in Spring 2008.
