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?)

Will do.

It's also, fyi, something unbelievably minor that I've become arbitrarily obsessed with.

Thanks. I figured it probably was something minor. So many people on my f-list are into DW/TW now and I am resisting... for now, but it probably won't be too long before I give in to my curiosity.

It's really amazing. I was not a fan of the old show, and I did haven't be a little patient with it, but the second it goes dark and grownup it's brilliant.

Also, pretty much all the characters are morally/ethically grey, which is sort of how I explain the appeal of this in the context of my HP fandom participation.
