An unfortunate cock-up at the Radio Times, which has unintentionally published a photo of a Royal Marine with his, er… gun hanging out. The apparently innocuous photo of the Royal Marines' 42 Commando Unit turned out, on closer inspection, to be rather less innocent. The good news for the listings magazine – possibly less so for the chap involved – is that you need a magnifying glass to see these particular privates on parade (page 67 in the 28 January to 3 February issue, if you absolutely must see for yourself). "We apologise for any upset caused to readers by the rogue member of 42 Commando," said Radio Times editor Ben Preston in an apology published on the magazine's website. The picture accompanied a preview of Channel 5 fly-on-the-wall documentary Royal Marines: Afghanistan Mission. Channel 5 owner Richard Desmond is, it hardly needs saying, no stranger to X-rated content.
