Graham Linehan in trans row with Father Ted star

On Sunday, Graham Linehan accused Ardal O'Hanlon of `stabbed me in the back` amid the ongoing gender row after O'Hanlon criticized him in a Sunday Times interview.
Because he openly criticised trans ideology, Graham Linehan is well-known for his `gender-critical` views and has been largely shunned by the entertainment industry, facing detention at Heathrow Airport in September though not charged.
Ardal O'Hanlon said he was `baffled` by Linehan's decision to join culture wars and called his approach `confrontational`, adding he `feels sorry` for Linehan and hasn't seen him much since Father Ted.
Posting on X, Graham Linehan said he `made him famous` and accused Ardal O'Hanlon of `casually smearing me`, adding he `apparently disagrees` with his views and apologized as `the bearer of bad news`.
The show's legacy includes Father Ted, co-created by Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathews, which launched careers including Dermot Morgan, who died aged 45 after the final episode.
