Russell T. Davies and the name Harkness...

[fajrdrako]

I'd wondered why or from where Russell T. Davies had got the name Harkness for Captain Jack -the only Harkness I could think of in literature was Agatha Harkness, the witch-nanny in Fantastic Four.

And it turns out that's exactly where Russell T. Davies got the name, confirmed in the Wikipedia entry regarding Russell T. Davies.

Next question: why?

Next question after that: why 'Jack'?

I would guess Russell T. Davies confirmed it somewhere. That man amazes me: he reads all the right things. And then uses them. Creatively. When does he find the time to read it all?
