Show one looked absolutely fine and illustrated how good Wallace and Torode are. Of courdse they may be gay or trans or have dodgy senses of humour and all that was edited out but I doubt it. We simply have to stop condemning people for unconnected areas to the reason they were hired. Madness.
I thought the allegations against Wallace included that he'd exposed himself and I thought that was against the law, even in the workplace. Didn't Wayne Couzens do that before committing murder? Were the police right to not take that seriously?

Completely wrong Jo. In his dressing room with a small group of friends he was dressed in a bow tie, and a sock on his penis.
Everything was covered and it was a small group of friends, not the general public. Watch the sun interview with Gregg on youtube.

Oh Matron.
Kenneth Williams used to do the vagina stunt; it's in his diaries.
Robbie, if your wife, mother or sister, or any female in your family (or man or boy for that matter) came to you and said they'd walked along a footpath and a man had stood there as they went past with a sock on his cock I think you'd consider that they'd been the victim of a flasher wouldn't you?
Maybe a raucous party situation in a private home with close friends it might be more tolerable, or a lark, but any workplace area, never.

I hate being rude, Rich, but a lot of fans of the site do seem to be childless apart from me, Wyot and Honey. Hence, having a lax attitude about sex crimes, if you are a parent, your attitude changes about things.
In Oxford a woman was flashed in a supermarket the police did a NFA.
Episode Two equally fine (sadly the lady sent home had an absolutely fabulous looking dessert). Wallace and Torode should never have been fired - STUPID!!! Righteous indignation and tabloid exaggeration should NOT dictate policy, BBC. Which reminds me - when is the GAZA doc being given Prime Time BBC1 showing - and No Other Land too please.

His ghostwriter said he exposed himself to her. She's apparently not the only one to say this ("The latest accusations include two women who allege Wallace exposed himself to them..." www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/tv/...ns-saw-axed-32021873).

I agree.
Talk to him about his behaviour/comments. Help him. Forgive him. Let him carry on. Who knows what is in his past to cause the alleged behaviours?
Where does all this logically end?
Should I never read Dickens again because he treated the mother of his many children so appallingly abandoning her for a young actress?
Steinbeck was a heavy drinker and unpleasant to his wife (apparently)? Should I not read Cannery Row again?
If I know someone is making a go of it working in a local shop after doing time for a sex offence should I refuse to use the shop?
What has happened to forgiveness?
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Well the whole fucking world - all sinners - are all hurling stones all the time (usually from the safety of a smart phone).

Yes, but that's not what happened. It was in his own dressing room, and with close friends not members of the public.
Its not something I would do, but not s serious crime that would ruin people's lives.
Part of the host's job is to make the contestants feel comfortable.
This might not be possible if they are afraid of having of a woolen clad willy dangled in their faces.
But, if it really was confined to the dressing room with apparently consensual friends, I would be more inclined to fire the snake who snitched on him and decided to be offended years later.

What was John Torode supposed to have done?
Rapping with a the N word in the lyrics and referring to a Chinese takeaway as "Chinky".
