Torchwoodremains the most mature ofall theDoctor Whospinoff shows.

Annoyingly,Capaldi’s Twelve inTorchwoodwould have been amazing.

Sadly, what had been possible for Tennant and Smith was never an option for Capaldi.

Sadly, what had been possible for Tennant and Smith was never an option for Capaldi.

This alone is enough to explain the crossover never happening, but there is actually another factor to consider.

He played John Frobisher, and he was great.

So,it would’ve been a waste to have Capaldi as the Doctor inChildren of Earth.

Similarly, Jack’s immortality means he’s not going to meet his end any time soon.

So, such a team-up looks very unlikely, as doesTorchwood’s return.
