Quote from The Sun newspaper (sorry, only source I could find)
While the BBC maintain that this doesn't change the story in the slightest, I am rather offended that the show has to be toned down for us British. The sad thing is, if it was aired in the UK then there probably would be complaints.
Apparently the BBC and Starz have "very different audiences" according to the BBC.One of the most sexually explicit scenes ever filmed for a TV drama has been torched from Torchwood.
Bisexual Captain Jack Harkness has a gay romp with a barman. The scene, which includes shots of Jack's naked bum, was filmed for the third episode of Miracle Day would have gone out 20minutes after the 9pm UK watershed.
It has already been shown on the US cable channel Starz, which co-funded the drama. But shocked Beeb bosses have cut it from the BBC1 version, fearing an avalanche of complaints from viewers.
Last night, the BBC confirmed the scene had been axed along with another gruesome scene later in the series.
