Howling:Archie from Torchwood Two explained? (Speculation)

Could the Archie in The Name of the Doctor be connected to the same Archie Jack Harkness mentions as the head of Torchwood Two in TV: Everything Changes? An ancestor, perhaps, or the Archie? Jack was around during Archie's life in the Victorian-Era Torchwood Three, though at the tail end of the 19th century, a bit later than the year shown in this episode. We have a wise writer who has shoehorned in a fight with a guy named Archie in Glasgow against Strax, two speed bumps in the dialogue that caught my attention. Possible hints to Torchwood... or just a continuity nod...? After all, this man named "Archie" could be an alias, a namesake just like all the others floating around. --Thunderush ☎  01:26, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

The same thing occurred to me, as soon as I heard the name. All we know about Archie's personality is that Jack Harkness thought he was a "very strange man". Someone Jack thinks is strange?... --89.242.70.9talk to me 07:39, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

BTW, I grew up near (not in) Glasgow & had some neighbours with the surname Archibald, so the nickname "Archie" might come from the surname. --89.240.242.92 talk to me 17:10, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

89: Glad you said that. If Archibald is a surname, that would indicate lineage. It might be an ancestral Torchwood Two handed over to the mature children through family tradition. Now if only RTD would focus on a fifth installment of Torchwood, the ball could get rolling. He's letting it hibernate as long as he wants to, ten years at worst. --Thunderush ☎  23:33, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
