fajrdrako | More about Torchsong and Peter Wingfield...

I puzzled over the question of why Peter Wingfield was invited to be John Barrowman's replacement guest at Torchsong. He hasn't seen Torchwood. As far as I know the only connection between them is my love of each, and the con certainly wasn't organized for my sake. Too bad.

I asked Peter how he came to be there. "They phoned Valentine Pelka," he said, "and he got in touch with me." Yes, but... why? And why didn't he bring Pelka along? He's also on the short list of "actors I would like to see".

So I mused over possible connections, a train of thought linking Wingfield to Torchwood:

Methos, like Captain Jack, is very, very old. A survivor. In fact, Jack is practically a child compared to Methos, who must be about 3,000 years older. But Methos is from the distant past and Jack is from the distant future. It gets a bit confusing when I try to contemplate the comparative timelines. Wibbly-wobbly.
Methos and Jack both have good coats.
Peter Wingfield is from Wales. Torchwood Three is in Wales.
Both have good smiles and dimples.

...Any other ideas?
