The writer of the IT crowd (and black books ๐ญ) is a massive supporter of jk, a well known transphobe, and generally consider a lunatic. It's a shame those shows are hilarious.
The premise of the series and the characters were all created by Dylan Moran. Linehan was just a co-writer.
Oh i didnt know that! I definitely feel linehan's influence in the writing for black books though. It feels similar to father ted and IT crowd, you know?
He (Linehan) only wrote for the first season, too. They parted ways after that.
