Is anyone watching the John Barrowman thing on the beeb........they are out to prove whether he might in fact be straight!

bugger, his arousal levels were definately going through the roof at pictures of naked men.

It's very interesting though, and straight or gay, he still has a lovely smile

[MaryAnnSingleton]

aww, his mum and dad are lovely

[MaryAnnSingleton]

aww, his mum and dad are lovely

[MadamAntisDerelicte]

LOl at him sounding so Scottish when talking to his parents. Sweet!

[EyeballsintheSky]

WTF is happening to his accent?!

[BettySpaghetti]

How come he has a US accent -none of the rest of his family do? I presumed he'd moved there as a child but siblings don't have the accent do they?

[itati]

My accent gets very broad when I talk to my frineds from back home.

[PortAndLemon]

He was about 8 when he moved -- if you move before 10 you normally pick up the accent of where you move to, IIRC.

It's a bit cod science though. The little girl who dropped her toy of a cliff was destined to become a lesbian? That child was under 2, I would say. What child of that age doesn't watch things fall over/knock things down deliberately to see what happens.

[KayHarker]

he's quite open about the American accent being his stage accent. He says that's part of the 'package' people buy into with him. I haven't read the biography, oh no.

[ExterminAitch]

i've seen him say that he feels like a big fat queenie fraud speaking to a jock in a yank accent, and he can't do it.

[PeaMcLean]

There is a fair bit of cod science in it - the twins example was a sample of one - didn't prove anything. Some of it's quite interesting though.

[ExterminAitch]

check him flirting with dr bockland... incorrigible.

[BettySpaghetti]

Hes even more gorgeous when he speaks with his Scottish accent

[zwiggy]

John barrowman would do anything to get his penis wired up to a machine on telly

[PeaMcLean]

So, how long did you spend looking at your fingers???

[margoandjerry]

oh I did that even though I know I'm not gay and I know I'm a woman so I'm not sure what I thought I was going to discover

[RiverSong]

Well, apparently I have male hands....

[Heated]

me too!

The programme indicated that the more older brothers you have the higher likelihood of being gay - but what was the reason given for this?

And were there any other biological reasons?

[Roobie]

The older brother thing was due to the mother building up an increased immunity (to testosterone?) with each male pregnancy.
