Graham Linehan interview

There's a good chance you already have a strong opinion about Graham Linehan. Perhaps you think he's a horrible bigot who hates trans people or a bit of a hero who campaigns for women's rights. Perhaps you think he used to be a successful writer of sitcoms who went off the rails, and torpedoed his career and lost friends, and ruined his marriage. As I say: chances are you already have an opinion.
