When Captain Jack’s Gotta Go, He’s Gotta Go
All right, ladies and gay men, sit down for this. Torchwood‘s John Barrowman was recently on the British game show Would I Lie to You?, which has celebrities say embarrassing things about themselves, and the contestants have to guess which are true and which aren’t. Captain Jack’s first “admission” — that he was caught pissing in Prince Charles’ royal gardens. I don’t want to spoil the ending, but I am posting the video, which should tell you something. There’s a few other good moments, so you might want to stick around. Thanks to the incroyable BonnieGrrl for the tip.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
