I voted against it because my general opinion is that spin-offs almost always suck and turn out to disapoint people.
It's not just about the characters. Their character is partly formed by their surroundings and so is their popularity. Jack Harkness is great in the series of Doctor Who, but I cou;dn't possibly think of a concept of a series in which Jack is the main star and the whole Whoniverse is kind of left behind. Or his series should have to become some sort of Doctor Who clone.
Most characters sustain in one story, but can not be taken out to others. You will expect certain things which the writers, cast and directors can't live up to.
A series of it's own would spoil Captain Jack for his fans.

At the same time theres Friends- Joey, not always a good idea!
These spin of books are just Doctor Who books! Its not just about Jack. If you already knw this then sorry I must have misread!

I voted no. Shocking 
I think a spin off would ruin doctor who, and captain jack, and i don't want neither of them getting hurt!

I agree with Deako, a Captain Jack spin-off would add an extra dimension to the new series.
Plus, it would bring in a whole new audience.

Well its just my opinion, but i really don't belive it would attract a new audience. I think it would only atract dr. who fans, as why would u just watch a show about some guy you don't know about? Its not so bad if its a new show, but a spin of?
Plus then Captain Jack could not go back to Doctor Who

But then again, why did so many people watch the new series of Doctor Who when they don't know anything about him?

It was a good point... And after the spin-off, Jack could easily go back to trhe Doctor.
After Series 2, RTD could write a spin-off about Jack's time on the GameStation!
