Graham Linehan - Funny Business (on RTE1 now)

Basq

A profile of one of the best TV writers working today IMO.

Has interviews from Graham Linehan, Charlie Higson, Paul Whitehouse, Steve Coogan, Matt Lucas, David Walliams among others.

Only started 2 or 3 minutes ago. Could be great viewing though.. especially for an RTE production!

Balls.. it's a repeat!

Still never saw it before and quite great stuff. Excellent to see some behind the scenes of The IT Crowd and how much of a legend Matt Berry is (even in rehearsals).

Saw this when it was first shown last year sometime

Well worth a watch, some interesting info and interviews on it

Weirdly, I think it's fun listening to all the IT crowd jokes being worked out after seeing them in the real thing.

Just caught the last twenty minutes of it. Was good stuff. I remember Graham being interviewed by Charlie Brooker in a Screenwipe special on writing and being impressed with his tips on comedy writing.

Just finished watching this, was a really enjoyable and well put together piece. It's obvious he is held in high regard and he shows a lot of ambition, can only be good for the future of comedy programming.

Frankie Lee

A fascinating insight into a comedy legend, its a small pity he didn't discuss Black Books which I regarded as being as good as Father Ted and better than the IT crowd. Probably because it was more a Dylan Moran project I presume.

Steve Coogan looked fairly mad by the way.

Fair play to him for helping out Little Britain too.

Ron DMC

That was pretty good I thought.

Brian CivilEng

I enjoyed the show. When exactly was it made though? It was quite sad seeing Geoffrey Perkins giving his input knowing that he died last year.

I was surprised at the end when it said it was made for RTE. Good production, and he came across very well - well worth a watch. Not available on the player though?

Probably because it was a repeat from a year and a half ago.

Was very good alright.
