This week Ofcom published its finding on Frankie Boyle's joke about Katie Price's son Harvey, broadcast last year on his Channel 4 show Tramadol Nights.

Katie Price's lawyer, Mark Bateman, explains why she is still calling for an apology.
And Sir Michael Lyons, chairman of the 成人快手 Trust, looks at the challenges facing the 成人快手 in his final few weeks in office, ahead of the appointment of his replacement Lord Patten.
