Jokes about the Queen’s sex life on David Baddiel’s Radio 4 show and Fox News host Sean Hannity’s coverage of the US election have been found in breach of UK broadcasting rules. The episode of Baddiel’s Don’t Make Me Laugh, which aired at 6.30pm on the Queen’s 90th birthday, included the subject “the Queen must have had sex at least four times”. Panelists included Russell Kane, Sara Pascoe, Omid Djalili, and Adam Hess, with Baddiel introducing the second round. The BBC Trust previously ruled that the segment breached its editorial guidelines and the show has since been cancelled. The episodes of Hannity included segments on topics such as the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server – which have not resulted in any charges – and an interview with Trump.
