language
In an accompanying question and answer session, there is a use of 'bloody hell'.
sex
There are very few sex references and they are not detailed. Prime Minister John Major lists a series of events attracting press attention which he must deal with, including "toe-sucking scandals" and "auto-erotic suicides". Both are simply passing references.
discrimination
The racist language consists of a single use of the term 'coon'. The Queen tells Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that she had heard Mrs Thatcher had disparagingly referred to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting as "Coons Holidaying on Government Money". Mrs Thatcher claims that her husband was responsible for this. The setting in which the term is used is dated and the joke is based on an understanding that the language is inappropriate. Mrs Thatcher disowns the comment, emphasising it is disapproved of.
additional issues
There is also a passing reference to Princess Diana's "suicide attempts", but again without detail.
Contains sex references and one use of racist language

During the interval, there are several trailers for other National Theatre Live productions, including one for OTHELLO, which includes some mild violence as a man angrily grabs another by the throat as they argue.
