John Barrowman makes his second appearance on Good Morning Britain, 13 April 2017.

JB: "My show's not over. Stay in your seats. This is only the intermission."

49) After Torchwood JB got a good gig in the US playing the Businessman/ Assassin Malcolm Merlyn (a.k.a. Ra's al Ghul) in Arrow. He has now played same character on four different series: Arrow (2012-6), The Flash (2014), Supergirl (2016) and Legends of Tomorrow (2016).

47) waaay back in 2006, JB featured on Cbeebies Storytime (the BBC Children's channel) telling 5 stories over 5 nights. Stories included a Pipkin of Pepper, The Bumposarus and Winnie the Witch amongst others.

46) JB has been featured on the front of the Radio Times on 3 occasions, which is always a splendid thing.

*I've only got 1 to 3 so far but I think there's been 5.

43) In 2006 JB got the star role of Captain Jack Harkness in the Doctor Who spinoff series Torchwood. The first series of 13 episodes started on BBC3 in 2006, the second series switched channels to BBC2 in 2008. It swapped channels again in 2009 for it's third series, this time premiering in a prime slot on BBC1. It comprised of only 5 episodes broadcast on 5 consecutive days, which is unusual for a BBC channel. Series 4 hopped across the Atlantic to the US, premiering on the Starz channel in 2011. JB was only one of two original cast members to star in all 41 episodes.

42) JB co-starred on Broadway in Stephen Sondheim's Putting it Togther along side Carol Burnett and George Hearn in 2000. JB sang Marry Me a Little as well as a few other songs. The blooper reel on that's a giggle too :o)

41) JB played Scotland's most famous poet, Robbie Burns, in the mini-musical Red Red Rose in 1996. This was a final contender with 2 other mini-musicals which were competing to be made into full length musicals. Sadly it didn't win, but at least the songs got released on CD.

i'll post the remaining 10 birthday celebration things tomorrow :o), I'm too tired to continue to cross-post it across 3 platforms tonight. my eyes have packed in!
