British Torchwood viewers won’t see a raunchy gay sex scene because BBC bosses thought it was too explicit. The scene, with gay star John Barrowman’s character Captain Jack Harkness and a barman, has already been broadcast in the US on cable channel Starz.
The Sun reports that a source said executives felt the scenes were simply too sexy to show primetime audiences 20 minutes after the watershed. The source said: “It wasn’t that it was a gay scene that worried people, but just the fact 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 BBC1.”
I watched the show last night on Starz and it was good
cool show
two episodes have been shown here in the US and neither of them contained a sex scene. what did they mean “has already been broadcast in the US”?
Really annoyed at the BBC…… they could at least play the full verson at a later time for one ep
John Barrowman said there were two such scenes. Maybe if you guys in the UK raise enough hell, they might not cut the other one.
As the BBC have already previewed the scene in last-week’s episode I highly doubt this story, and from the rag that is The Sun I wouldn’t even trust the date!
Ok, now that I’m totally horny from looking at John Barrowman, where do I download the sex scene clip?
BBC = Patronising fucking wankers.. adults are adults wherever you are in the world.
Well if this is true I say good old BBC. Personally I always think the gay scenes added into anything by Russell T Davis is gratuitous and unnecessary. In Torchwood it is totally out of place and rarely adds to the storyline. If it can be cut out without spoiling the story then it isn’t really needed anyway.
By the way, I’m enjoying Torchwood so far (ep 2 just been broadcast in UK)
