After debuting the characters of Captain Jack Harkness and Toshiko Sato in Doctor Who,  Russell T Davies has told the official magazine that he is comfortable with more Torchwood characters appearing in its parent show.

‘I think the lines are becoming blurred… now that there’s a pre-watershed Torchwood repeat,’ Davies said. ‘We’re building a strong, coherent, interconnected universe… but the answer, as ever, is story. If ever I think of a good story for Doctor Who and Torchwood to meet then I’ll do it.’

Davies does have one caveat about the potential crossover - ‘The only limit, I think, would be having The Doctor appear in Torchwood itself. Because the 9 o’clock transmission comes first, that would be putting a children’s hero into the wrong environment. But anything else is possible!’

The character of Martha Jones played by Freema Agyeman,  who played the Doctor’s companion in the last season of Doctor Who,  will appear in the current series of Torchwood.
