The BBC is taking Little Britain off iPlayer while it reviews every programme featuring or written by David Walliams, following allegations published on Tuesday by ITV News and the Guardian. A spokeswoman called the claims serious. Walliams co-created the hit sketch show with Matt Lucas, which debuted in 2003. He denies wrongdoing, saying he is not a sexual predator and has not broken the law.
