Could the Archie in The Name of the Doctor be connected to the same Archie Jack Harkness mentions as the head of Torchwood Two in TV: Everything Changes? An ancestor, perhaps, or the Archie? Jack was around during Archie's life in the Victorian-Era Torchwood Three, though at the tail end of the 19th century, a bit later than the year shown in this episode. We have a wise writer who has shoehorned in a fight with a guy named Archie in Glasgow against Strax, two speed bumps in the dialogue that caught my attentions. Possible hints to Torchwood... or just a continuity nod...? After all, this man named "Archie" could be an alias, a namesake just like all the others floating around. --Thunderush 01:26, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

The same thing occurred to me, as soon as I heard the name. All we know about Archie's personality is that Jack Harkness thought he was a "very strange man". Someone Jack thinks is strange?... --89.242.70.9talk to me 07:39, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

BTW, I grew up near (not in) Glasgow & had some neighbours with the surname Archibald, so the nickname "Archie" might come from the surname. --89.240.242.92talk to me 17:10, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
