As for Dr Who set, it is said
From other reports, Barrowman’s behavior was widely accepted on the Dr Who set. I seem to recall that Catherine Tate said when she first met Barrowman in the makeup trailer, he immediately suggested they swap phone numbers, and the makeup person told her “but he’ll just send you the pictures of his willy” (which he apparently did). She also said when the three of them (plus Tennant) were filming their first scene together, he whipped it out (when he was out of shot), and she was completely freaked out, while David just ignored it. I mean, she was definitely not a novice and could have said something, but if the common attitude was “oh it’s just John being John” I can see how people could not be willing to come forward. In situations like these you’re often made to look as if you’re the problem - “come on, don’t be a spoilsport, have some sense of humour” etc.
I think you could be right here. Also his Dad was sick at this time so a number of things probably forced him to leave.All this stuff coming out from the Doctor Who set makes it a bit more clear about why Eccleston left after one series... He was obviously a bit more professional, and from what I've read he had falling outs with his bosses, maybe he saw stuff and wasn't happy with the way it was handled?
I would be surprised if he comes out and says he reported Barrowman because that would outright prove RTD lied and surely you wouldn’t risk that.I think you could be right here. Also his Dad was sick at this time so a number of things probably forced him to leave.
Dusty Rusty and his motley Cardiff crew were somewhat drunk on the power back then. Some egos were completely out of control, to say the least. Eccleston was miscast and quite hopeless in the role, in my opinion, but he never stood a chance given what he had to work with, and I respect him for challenging that establishment and resigning in a discreet and professional manner. Witness what they did to him in return.If I flashed my gash at work I'd be fired on the spot and probably even arrested for public indency, as no doubt any straight male would, especially if women were witness (and then it would probably be considered a sexual offence). But for some reason it's just banter when it's a gay man? It's vile behaviour and he can't have been under any illusion how uncomfortable that would make people, nevermind unbelievably unhygienic. The fact he thinks he can just brush that off by saying it was a joke, honestly just confirms the opinion I've always held on him and I really fail to believe RTD could have been completely unaware of what was happening when everyone else wasn't.
Plus, he’s a Union man through and through. He used to make sure the crew got their allotted breaks. This caused tension at the BBC re budgeting etc.I think you could be right here. Also his Dad was sick at this time so a number of things probably forced him to leave.
Barrowman was embarrassingly desperate to come back to Doctor Who to the point he made himself look stupid, but wasnt invited back for the whole of Steven Moffat's tenure. Moffat was a regular writer and part of the team during RTD's reign as Showrunner. I wonder whether his 'jokes' were why he wasnt invited back?b u l l S H I T

Maybe but Moffat’s vision for the show wouldn‘t really have suited Captain Jack.Barrowman was embarrassingly desperate to come back to Doctor Who to the point he made himself look stupid, but wasnt invited back for the whole of Steven Moffat's tenure.

That is true. And yes now yo mention it Moffat had a bit of a reputation for shagging around too so maybe hes not a good guy in all this either.Maybe but Moffat’s vision for the show wouldn‘t really have suited Captain Jack.
I found the video where it’s being said, and turns out I was misremembering - it was pictures of his butt he was sending people, and during filming he was also wiggling his naked butt - out of shot, but in the line of vision of other actors. But amazingly, she tells this story at a convention right in front of Barrowman, and he clearly finds it hilarious, and the audience seems to think it’s great fun as well. He actually goes on to repeat it right there on stage, and says it’s not the first time at that convention (“first time since lunch, maybe”), and the moderator even says: “It’s really not a comic con until you see Barrowman’s butt.”From other reports, Barrowman’s behavior was widely accepted on the Dr Who set.
