    Something broke in his brain a few years back over trans issues, and he alienated everyone from his fellow writers, comedy actors and fans and just kept doubling down to the point no one wants he other than the worse elements of the nasty party.

    Yes, he fell down a conspiracy rabbit hole when the only people who’d give him the time of day were the Terrible People. Appearing at a Tory conference is a clear sign how far he has fallen.

    It’s all very sad as he’s one of my favourite comedy writers of recent years.

      Up to the IT Crowd he was a legend in UK sitcom writing, Father Ted, Black Books and that show will always be classics even if he’s gone bonkers.

        I’m often the odd one out in thinking this, but I thought The IT Crowd was generic, derivative shite, and I was dismayed that people of the calibre of Chris Morris were involved with it at the time. I cannot make my way through a whole episode.

          I thought it was the anti-Big Bang Theory. The nerdy people I knew in real life were much more like Moss and Roy than any of the 1980s stereotypes in BBT.
