Doctor Who/Torchwood question

[rm]

Because I still have gaping holes in my canon knowledge and an idea percolating:



If the Face of Boe was once Jack, would the Doctor know this? And if so, when would he know it?

Also, who did Jack make the off-hand remark about it in front of? I've not seen that episode of whatever it was yet.

(Can I just say I hate asking time related questions about a circular, knotted time-line?)

I don't think so. Jack wasn't with the Doctor on any of the occassions when the Doctor meets up with the Face of Boe, and the off-hand way in which Jack makes the comment sounded to me like Jack hadn't even heard of the Face of Boe in any other context. If I remember correctly, the Doctor and Martha kind of look at each other like, "...no way!" and Jack doesn't notice this.

AGREED!! Yes, exactly.
