BBC Three comedy Russell Howard's Good News is under fire from transgender campaigners who say a recent sketch ridicules a "vulnerable minority".

Trans Media Watch said that the sketch, based on the story of a Thai airline hiring trans women, shows trans people as "objects of ridicule [and] physical disgust."

The April 1st sketch shows two airline attendants in makeup and women's clothes showing their male genitals to passengers. One passenger vomits at the sight.
