The BBC has taken its much-loved animated version of Julia Donaldson's Room on the Broom off iPlayer, because David Walliams voices the Frog in the 2012 film. He speaks only a handful of lines. Fans online called the move an overreaction. The BBC is reviewing all Walliams material after a Guardian and ITV investigation into sexual misconduct claims, which he denies. Met Police are investigating.
