'Today, his name is not so much associated with his pioneering comedy work – Father Ted, Brass Eye, The Fast Show – as his views on trans women, and his related suspension from Twitter for “hateful conduct”. Punch winces. “It’s sad,” she says. “And he just disappeared on the show and it wasn’t really ever talked about. When we did the pilot, I was like: ‘I can’t believe I’m working with Graham!’ He was so brilliant. He still is so brilliant. But, yeah, it’s like…” She sighs. “You gotta keep some stuff back.

My take-
Really admires linehan for work says still brilliant.
Indicates uncomfortable with fact he was never mentioned again.
Is not clear who she is referring to. To pipe down. And the put off bit. It's VERY vague.
Does she mean linehan should?
That she has to about thinking he's brilliant and the oddness of him never being mentioned?
Of those who wanted him out?
Of those who don't think it's right when people are gone and as if never existed?
I suppose anyone can take what they want from that bit. While she is actually ambiguous.
