Torchwood (2006)
1 revealing mistake in season 1 - chronological order
Starring: John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd, Kai Owen
Continuity mistake: When she sees the little boy's ghost, Gwen's hair alternates repeatedly between neatly-combed and windblown/messy, depending on the shot. (00:03:30)
Captain Jack Harkness: Under normal circumstances, an exuberant Roman soldier would be my idea of a perfect morning.
Trivia: The hand preserved in a glass jar in the Torchwood HQ is the severed hand of Doctor Who which he lost in a duel during the Christmas special. The hand features quite prominently in episode 1 but can also be seen in the background in most episodes.
Question: How did Jack get the Doctor's severed hand?
