Comedian Jo Brand has recently come under fire after making several quips made about incontinence on the BBC show QI, which received an influx of complaints, including one from a particularly incited viewer who claimed the jokes were sexist and ageist.
Brand has been cleared by the BBC Trust over the gags, after a formal complaint to the Trust was originally rejected earlier this year and now an appeal to the Trust’s Editorial Standards Committee has also been turned down. The committee concluded the joke about incontinence were “editorially justified”, did not amount to prejudice and did not breach programme guidelines.
