À propos de ce contenu audio

Having cut his teeth in music journalism, Graham Linehan became the finest sitcom writer of his generation. He captured the comedy zeitgeist not just as the co-creator of Father Ted but also with The IT Crowd and Black Books, winning five BAFTAs and a lifetime achievement award.

Then his life took an unexpected turn. When he championed an unfashionable cause, TV commissioners no longer returned his emails, showbiz pals lost his number, and his marriage collapsed.

In an emotionally charged memoir that is by turns hilarious and harrowing, he lets us into the secrets of the writing room and colorfully describes the high-octane atmosphere of a sitcom set. But he also berates an industry where there was no one to stand by his side when he needed help.

Bruised but not beaten, he explains why he chose the hill of women and girls' rights to die on—and why, despite the hardship of cancellation, he's not coming down from it any time soon.

"A must-read. Funny and utterly compelling." (Jonathan Ross)

Started listening to this just before L was arrested at the airport for speaking his mind. Excellent read, great clarity on the whole issue. Courage beyond the call of duty. Because L has been dragged into the matter of the policing of thought and ideas I assume there will be a second volume and look forward to it. In the meantime I hope all goes well for him. I am sure this will open even more eyes.

Bravo to Linehan
