From the amazing, in more ways than one, Graham Linehan <3

His dating site shenanigans were very amusing though. Clearly his flair for comedy hasn't suffered, though he could do with dialing back the obsession on this specific topic, for his own good more than anything.

Are you OK?

The streaming services in recent years decided to remove that IT Crowd episode entirely, which is unfortunate as it was very funny.


I really hate that shit a lot. There are some really funny It’s Always Sunnny episodes that have been yanked too.

Like we are adults here, folks. Who are these streaming platforms to police content in that way.

Same thing with basically every Louis episode. That was an amazing series.


Why should I care about his opinions on identity politics? I find his comedy funny. He could be Hitler for all I care.


It’s the episode

Many classic tv shows have episodes and themes which are bad today. Star Trek has a lot of 60s attitudes — Mudds Women for example.

I choose to see them as signs at how far society has progressed. Or regressed in the case of trans.

In the 90s the U.K. TV soap “corronation street” - watched by about 30% if the population each week - had a trans character. The character had very little controversy.ant the same time everyone loved Dane Edna. And Mrs Merton.

But today those shows would be far more controversial.

On the flip side, Brookside had a pre watershed lesbian kiss and it was major amounts of outrage.
