BBC cuts Torchwood gay sex scene

Really? Isn't that the whole reason why people watch Torchwood? I would think that the fans of the show wouldn't bat an eyelash over this.

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.

A BBC spokeswoman told the newspaper that the gay sex scene and another which involved violence had been cut.

Last month, Barrowman promised Torchwood fans that the new series would be the sexiest yet, with “man sex” and “full-on” nudity.

Torchwood: Miracle Day will have Gay Sex

I can't wait to see this. Too bad Ianto is not going to be in it:

Torchwood star John Barrowman says that the show’s next series will be the sexiest yet – with “man sex” and “full-on” nudity.

He told Press Association: “I’m naked in one episode – I am full-on naked. I am bumping and grinding in this one. I am having man sex.

“One day, I get to shoot a helicopter and save the world, and a couple of days later, I get to have sex with a 24-year-old. It’s the most perfect job in the world.”

This series, named Torchwood: Miracle Day, has a larger cast and budget due to BBC Wales partnering with US entertainment network Starz.

The show is set to begin in the UK in July.
