Graham Linehan, the creator of hit comedies Father Ted and the IT Crowd, has spoken out about losing his career and marriage after sharing a series of tweets about the transgender community.
The 54-year-old rose to prominence for co-creating sitcom Father Ted in 1995 and Black Books in 2000 – later writing The IT Crowd.
He had planned a Father Ted musical, but he later claimed it had been cancelled by producers over his divisive tweets on transgender rights.
