BBC Radio apologizes for Barrowman

December 02, 2008 BBC Radio was forced to issue yet another apology Tuesday for failing to control its staff and stars, after "Torchwood" and "Doctor Who" star John Barrowman exposed himself on a live Radio 1 show that also was video streamed over the Internet. The incident, in which Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw urged the actor to expose his genitals, aired live Sunday night and generated one complaint to the BBC. A spokeswoman for the Radio 1 network stressed that the camera recording the live webcam of the Switch show had been "quickly covered up by the producer" during the incident and that nothing explicitly sexual had been shown online.
