We hear the conversation being had around the comedy sketch The Real Housewives of Isis. The controversial 麻豆社 satire has had 21 million views on Facebook. It focuses on the women who decide to flee the UK and join so called Islamic State. We ask whether some comedy should be off limits.
Plus, actor Om Puri has died at the age of 66. We hear from some of his fans.
