"Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber has revealed that Kevin Spacey called him to apologise over comments he made about BBC talent shows such as I&amp;#039;d Do Anything. The Hollywood star branded the show, in which Lloyd Webber is on the judging panel, as a &amp;quot;13-week promotion for a musical&amp;quot;.  Spacey, currently the artistic director of London&amp;#039;s Old Vic theatre, added that the BBC was &amp;quot;crossing the line&amp;quot; by giving the musicals free publicity. Lloyd Webber told Radio 1&amp;#039;s Newsbeat: &amp;quot;He [Spacey] didn&amp;#039;t actually mention my name. I know he was only talking about the shows in a generic way.  &amp;quot;He was really saying why can&amp;#039;t we have a programme about plays on BBC One?&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;d Do Anything pits contestants against each other to win a role in a new West End version of Oliver!
