The BBC says it is removing *Little Britain* and other programmes while it reviews material featuring or written by David Walliams on its platforms.
The move follows allegations of sexual misconduct published on 10 November by The Guardian and ITV News after a joint investigation. Walliams denies wrongdoing.
A BBC spokesperson described the allegations as serious and said: “We are in the process of removing some programmes, including *Little Britain*, whilst this review is under way.”
The Independent reported that *Come Fly With Me* and episodes of *The Wheel* and *Would I Lie to You?* featuring Walliams had also been taken down from BBC iPlayer. Walliams created and starred in *Little Britain* with Matt Lucas.
The BBC said it was reviewing all relevant material, but described the removals as affecting some programmes, not necessarily everything under review.
