Archie Bell

Archie was the "very strange man" who ran Torchwood Two (TV: Everything Changes) from its base above a bank in Glasgow.

"Old Tartan Archie" did not have the hang of computers, and exchanged bizarre emails with Owen Harper. The words used were "interesting and not always used in the right context," and he referred to himself in the third person, which Owen attributed to either eccentricity or whisky. His ineptitude with email caused him to send a picture of the Loch Ness Monster to the Glasgow Herald. (PROSE: The Twilight Streets)

Torchwood Two may have closed down before 2009. (TV: Children of Earth: Day Two)

Behind the scenes

 * Jack Harkness first mentioned Archie (not by name) in the television story Everything Changes. John Barrowman has suggested at a public appearance that if he ever appeared on-screen, David Tennant should play him in heavy make-up.
