Maar dat is toch uit de jaren 80, toen bestond Torchwood nog helemaal niet.

Oh, misschien moet ik er even bij vermelden dat Knight Rider inmiddels weer bestaat. Het is een wekelijkse serie op NBC, met een nieuwe KITT enzo.

Was het iemand al opgevallen dat 'topic for ten' ook het tiende topic is?

Hm, ik moet meteen denken aan het jochie in Human Nature/Family of Blood dat een tijdje met dat horloge rondliep en zo in de herinneringen van the Doctor kon kijken... Dit kan net zoiets zijn: iemand die geestelijk in de war is en die beelden in zijn hoofd heeft, waardoor hij denkt dat hij the Doctor is.

True. Maar misschien kan er iets van achterblijven. Ofzo.

The BBC was engulfed in another decency row today after one of its highest profile stars exposed himself live on air.

The corporation was forced into another embarrassing and potentially damaging apology after Doctor Who actor John Barrowman revealed himself in a pre-watershed Radio 1 show which was also broadcast online via a webcam.

In an interview on The Switch at 8.15 last night, Barrowman, 41, performed the act after being prompted by presenters Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw.

The Scottish-American actor, best known for his role as Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who and its spin-off series Torchwood, made the studio erupt in screams and wild laughter, while a producer hastily covered the webcam. It comes despite BBC director-general Mark Thompson’s promise for greater controls following the outcry over the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross obscene call. Producers have been warned that swearing and potentially offensive output must be approved by the controller of each station or channel.

Last night radio listeners heard as Barrowman, a guest who was promoting his new single, responded to goading by presenters.

Grimshaw said: “You’re famous, we’re told, for getting your willy out in interviews. Is this going to happen today? Should Annie be careful?”

Barrowman asked: “Is the webcam on?”, and when he was told it was responded: “All right. I’ll get it out for you then, no problem.”

Annie Mac is then heard screaming and shouting “Oh my God!” as Grimshaw and Barrowman laugh. Seconds later Barrowman is heard saying: “I didn’t take the whole thing out, but I got my fruit and nuts out.”

Torchwood star John Barrowman has apologised for exposing his genitals during a live BBC Radio 1 broadcast.

“I was joining in the light-hearted and fun banter of the show and went too far,” he said. “I was wrong to do this and it will never happen again.”

The BBC has also apologised for the incident on Sunday’s Switch show, which prompted one listener to complain.

“We do feel the programme overstepped the mark,” it said, adding an apology was made at the end of the broadcast.

A spokeswoman also stressed that nothing untoward was screened online via the station’s webcam.

Barrowman was chatting with hosts Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac when he was asked about his predilection for exposing himself during interviews.

He responded by saying he was going to “get it out”, amid laughter.

Barrowman said later: “I didn’t take the whole thing out, but I got my fruit and nuts out.”

In a statement issued on Monday, the I’d Do Anything judge said he appreciated “the great support” he had received from the BBC over the last few years.

He “would never intentionally do anything to undermine the integrity of the corporation,” he continued.

“I apologise for any offence I have caused.”

The show has now been taken off the BBC’s iPlayer service.
