I believe that this is one of Glinner’s few sources of income. I don’t think he gets any money from Ted on C4.

"And to think when we met, you thought I wouldn't like you because you were from Iran."

"Other companies have a glass ceiling. But I like to think at Reynholm Industries we have a glass floor. And all the men are just looking up."

"This Jen, is the Internet".

"Did you see that ludicrous display?"

Anybody who has seen the show is now laughing. Such fine writing. It's up there with Drop the Dead Donkey and Frasier for me. Bought the DVDs. So is the implication that The IT Crowd is being dropped by Netflix because of Glinner's GC statements?

Ah, I wasn't sure if a Memory Hole meant that something that's been disappeared can still be found with a bit of digging. Instead it seems it's just to remove something and pretend it never happened

A fire? At a Sea Parks??

Oh the 'Gay' episode is just amazing. Every time I see it,in reminded of the time that I was talked into going to see "Rent" with some work colleagues ( because someone from Corrie was in it,but I didn't know as I don't watch soaps). The whole thing seemed completely incomprehensible to me,and I don't think that my colleagues got it either.
Glinner is a comedy genius and one of our favourite things to watch as a family.

What does "memory-holed" mean?
I adore Count Arthur Strong in all formats and the TV show was brilliant

So much of the world these days can be seen through Orwell's lens.

IT crowd is brilliant @tourdefrance so if he likes father ted, he’ll probably like it. I don’t know if it’s still on Netflix, but Count Arthur Strong is also written (partly) by graham. I don’t think it’s as funny as IT crowd or father ted, but still worth a watch.

tourdefrance · 11/04/2023 16:00

DS1 (15) loves Father Ted. Do you think he’d like the IT crowd? (Never seen it myself and not massive fan of Ted but thought he’d like it).

EsmaCannonball · 11/04/2023 15:51

All4 has memory-holed the episode where Jen breaks the internet (one of the best episodes) because it also has the storyline where Douglas dates the transwoman. It's very annoying that Netflix are dropping it. Hopefully they will pick it up again.

TWETMIRF · 11/04/2023 14:32

I have them all on DVD, Ted too. So fucking funny, that man is a genius.

Me, I'm Peter File!

I've just checked what I've got on Apple TV, and I only purchased season 4 today, and everything is there. This is Apple TV with a box though, not Apple TV+
I just watched Employee of the Month and, of course, I don't see what's so offensive as it's taking the piss out if gender stereotypes, male and female.
Little Britain has got to be the most consistently "offensive" tv show ever

EnVogue · 11/04/2023 09:26

Gay musical called Gay! god that episode made me cry with laughter..

It was the bit where Jen spins around and Moss says "yes miss" behind the bar... his face...... her face!!!

Davros · 11/04/2023 09:24

We quote the gay musical episode all the time, it's brilliant

whoami24601 · 11/04/2023 09:21

Oh my god the gay musical. When Jen turns around after all the madness and then Moss is keeping bar. I howl every time! We watch it on a loop so I'll be gutted when it comes off!

ResisterRex · 11/04/2023 09:11

Buy the DVDs! Then they can't be censored.

Let's face it, proper comedy might soon be in a museum if this is anything to go by:

I thought it was also on channel 4 - has it gone from there too?

No, it's on 4OD, Netflix (for now) and Prime (for a few).

Davros · 11/04/2023 00:13

We've had series 1-3 on Apple for ages, I wonder if we will still have what we bought or if the series have been truncated. I must hunt down Series 4 and the last episode tomorrow.

crispinglovershighkick · 10/04/2023 23:22

Oh shit, this is one of my go-to comedies. Unavailable on Amazon Prime 🙁

skilpadde · 10/04/2023 23:08

So I didn't realise it was on Apple TV, but having just looked Apple have removed 3 episodes from series 3, and 2 episodes from series 4. How tiresome.

Definitely best to watch on Netflix while you still can.

Why doesn't he get anything from C4 from Father Ted?

I might have got that the wrong way round, but I know that he only gets money from one of the streaming services.
