He vowed he won’t work with them again until it’s reinstated.

Graham Linehan has slammed Channel 4 for removing a transphobic episode of The IT Crowd, vowing he won’t work with them again until it’s reinstated.

Douglas later learns April is trans and ends the relationship with a violent confrontation in Reynholm Industries’s laboratories.Linehan, who created The IT Crowd, addressed Channel 4 binning the episode in a lengthy post on his blog and branded it ‘an attack on my right to freedom of speech’.‘I do *not* agree with the statement that “Transwomen are women” because it has huge implications for women in terms of safeguarding, sports, equal representation in public life and so on,’ he wrote.

Linehan added: ‘May I also say, that if you start bowing to the demands of extremists, you will never stop. This is a bigger fight than you realise and you don’t have to enter it in this way.’ ‘We believe that our All 4 archive is also a valuable historical record of our output and of the changing society of which we are a part.
