The BBC began removing Little Britain and other programs from its platforms Tuesday after The Guardian and ITV News published a joint investigation in which multiple women accused David Walliams of sexual misconduct, including alleged incidents involving teenagers. Walliams denies wrongdoing.

The broadcaster said it was reviewing material that Walliams wrote or appeared in. The Independent reported that the removals also included Come Fly With Me and individual episodes of other programs. Independent Talent Group said separately that it no longer represents him.

Walliams, 55, is a British actor, comedian and children’s author who rose to prominence alongside Matt Lucas on Little Britain. He served as a judge on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent from 2012 to 2022.

What the court decided

In a Nov. 3 ruling, High Court judge Mr Justice Nicklin refused Walliams’s request to block the outlets from publishing their reporting. The judgment referred to him as “PPT” and kept his identity under temporary protection while he had time to appeal. The Independent reported that the appeal deadline passed Monday without a filing. The judge limited the ruling to whether publication should be blocked. The allegations remain unresolved.

How could people on the show raise concerns?

Former Britain’s Got Talent staff described conduct they considered inappropriate in interviews with ITV News and The Guardian. Fremantle UK, which produces the show, told the outlets it had received no complaints about Walliams’s conduct. ITV said Fremantle was responsible for the production’s day-to-day duty of care. Walliams denied behaving inappropriately or harassing young women at work. Read the investigation and company responses.

Bright Light asked Fremantle whether its statement covered informal concerns raised with production staff, and asked ITV what oversight it retained and whether people could report concerns directly to the broadcaster. We also asked both companies whether they would review how people could raise concerns during Walliams’s tenure. Fremantle sent an automated acknowledgment. Neither company had provided a substantive response to Bright Light at the time of writing.
