On Sunday night, John Barrowman went on BBC Radio (key word here,
radio) 1's "Switch" and displayed his "Fruit and Nuts" to co-host
Annie Mac.  Even though it's radio (even with the studio webcam that
probably never displayed the incident to the Radio 1 web site), the
anti-Beeb contingent at the Daily Mail screamed bloody murder and
Barrowman and the Beeb offered apologies--for Barrowman saying that he
was flashing and Mac screaming "Oh my God!" when he supposedly did it,
which is all listeners heard and didn't see:

Yeah, it's residue from the Brand/Ross/Sachs incident--and a self-
righteous right-wing tabloid pandering to its aged readership and the
money-grubbing Tories who'd like to see the BBC reduced to a British
PBS or NPR instead of the broad-based media service it is (and would
love to have some of those "Doctor Who" and "Dancing With the Stars"
revenues for themselves).
