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.
