Kilted John Barrowman

[Hamish]

I just wish he would be kilted more often.

He does very well on TV on Saturday and Sunday nights over here hosting an adult v kids quiz and being a judge on "I'll do anything" which is a search for a new Nancy and Oliver to appear in the West End musical of the same name.

Since his Civil Ceremony I haven't seen him kilted.

I agree, Trefor. John is a very talented and personable young man who comes over so well on TV in various types of programmes - we do not often hear him sing though, which is a great pity as he has a great voice.

I did not know he was kilted at his Civil Partnership ceremony! Wish I had seen something of THAT!

Take care,
Ham.

I like Torchwood a lot better than Dr. Who.

and an interview and more photos here, though none kilted: http://www.afterelton.com/blog/micha...-the-tca-house Is that his significant other/husband, Scott Gill, with whom he is in a lip lock or some one else?

I think JBs comments might be misread, he is such a nice guy, He might be talking about instances that happened to him rather than generalising.
I do remember him once saying he was singled out for bullieing because of his Glasgow accent, so he adopted an Illinios accent, which he drops when he calls his mother on the telephone.

Many thanks for those links, Gilmore. I'd not seen any of those photos before.

Take care,

I am a HUGE fan of Torchwood and have been talking it up to anyone who will listen.
The best "broad brush" characterization is that it is a cross between "X Files" and "Dr Who." I have liked it so much that I have started watching Dr Who again.

The final episode of the second season [first season was last fall, second is this spring] is next week [Sat, on BBC America] but I expect that it will go into repeats and the first season is out on DVD already.

Strangely enough [and more so now that I know he has one] I have wondered about seeing the cast kilted .

Anyone know what tartan he is wearing?

In 1965 I attended three high school proms in the LA area. Went kilted to all three and had no problems. No smart remarks. Nobody upset. No problems. But then I didn't have an "attitude", something that a lot of high schoolers seem to have these days-- especially when kilted. I suspect that attitude, and teenage angst, which is all part of growing up, has a lot to do with it (just look at the rants we endure on X Marks from time to time).

Regarding acceptance and ignorance-- it's universal, and it shows extreme ignorance to suggest that it only exists in the USA. Someone should tell John Barrowman (whoever he is) to wake up and loose the attitude. It's that kind of attitude that probably got him tossed from the prom in the first place.

And isn't there a "Dr. Who" website out there? (My rant. )

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but it seems kind of condescending to assume that teen "attitude" is a big part of the issue. Unless you know a lot of kilted teens with attitude and are speaking from personal experience.

There is a Dr. Who website on the BBC website but since the SciFi channel and BBCA are a season behind I try to stay away to avoid spoilers.

And I like both Dr. Who and Torchwood. I thought the Torchwood episode this past Saturday was excellent, giving background to the characters.
