By Keith Gladdis and Paul Revoir Channel 4 went ahead and broadcast an uncensored repeat of its Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2012 last night despite hundreds of complaints about its vile jokes. The panel show, presented by Jimmy Carr, caused outrage when it was first shown on Sunday. It featured comedian Jack Whitehall and actor James Corden apparently getting drunk as they made lewd jokes about the Queen, Barack Obama, Usain Bolt and Susan Boyle. Some of the most offensive comments – about the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh – were made within minutes of the 9pm watershed.
