WARNING SPOILERS - not huge ones but its not like the people in the UK will get to see it anybloody way!
The BBC has cut a sex scene from an episode of the new series of Torchwood: Miracle Day.
The scene in question featured John Barrowman’s Captain Jack Harkness getting intimate with a barman.
The scene is expected to be shown in full on US network Starz, the Sun reports.
The decision was taken as the BBC thought it was inappropriate to show it in a prime time slot - even though the scene in question occurs twenty minutes after the watershed.
A source said: “It wasn’t that it was a gay scene that worried people, but just the fact that it was such an explicit sex scene full stop. You can get away with scenes like that on American cable channels, but you can’t on primetime BBC One. “Even though the show airs after the watershed, it has a lot of young fans who would have been shocked at the graphic nature of the sex.”
UM WHAT?!
HANDBAGS AT DAWN LADIES!
