The BBC has removed several cartoons and films featuring actor David Walliams following allegations of sexual misconduct. The corporation confirmed it was reviewing all material featuring or written by Walliams on its platforms.
The removal includes the 2012 animated film *Room On The Broom*, based on a children's book by Julia Donaldson. Walliams voiced the character of a frog in the film. The BBC removed the film from its streaming service iPlayer. Other affected content includes a 2017 cartoon and a 2019 animated short.
The BBC first announced its review of Walliams' material earlier this week. The review follows serious allegations of sexual misconduct against the actor, which he has denied. The corporation has not yet released details about the specific content being removed or the nature of the allegations.
This marks the second time the BBC has taken action against Walliams' work. Previously, the corporation had removed a 2017 cartoon featuring him. The review appears to be part of a broader effort to address concerns about content involving public figures.
The situation highlights the growing scrutiny of public figures in media and entertainment. The BBC has not commented on the allegations or the extent of the review. The removals have sparked discussions about accountability and the handling of misconduct claims in the entertainment industry.
