'Wallpaper' sparks transphobia complaints
Published Wednesday, Apr 1 2009, 07:50 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
Transsexual character Georgina became a figure of fun when she joined Jonathan Pope's (Ben Miller) scriptwriting team in the ITV1 comedy show's March 20 outing.
The episode saw regular characters referring to Georgina as "it", as well as joking about her "hairy hands, stubbly face and Adam's apple".
A number of viewers have since complained to the broadcasting regulator, arguing that Georgina was used for "cheap laughs".
An Ofcom spokesman told the Daily Star: "We received more than 50 complaints over this and are looking into them."
