Captain Jack Harkness was the twelfth episode in the first series of Torchwood. By returning Jack Harkness to The Blitz during World War II, it allowed for a story that explored the origins of the "Jack Harkness" alias. However, in so doing, it left Jack's teammates with even less understanding of who he really was.

Harkness introduced the character of Bilis Manger, someone who would play an important role in the series 1 finalé, but who remained a mystery that was never fully unpacked.

The two Torchwoods

Categorisation of our Torchwood material is done in two categories, because Torchwood is both the name of the series and the name of the central organisation within the series. If you're looking for information about the Torchwood Institute, go to Torchwood. If you want behind-the-scenes information, the top-level category is category:Torchwood (TV series).

Did you know that Torchwood is about more than just Captain Jack's little gang in Cardiff? That's just Torchwood Three. It's got multiple branches around Britain, and even an Indian subsidiary.

The difference between personnel and crew

People who work for the fictional Torchwood Institute are called Torchwood personnel. People who work on Torchwood are called Torchwood crew.
