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.”
