  • Free, M. (2015) Don't Tell Me I'm Still...Pdf
    Pre-publication version. This is scheduled for publication in the journal Critical Studies in Television, Vol. 10, Summer 2015. It should be identical to the published version, but there may be minor adjustments (typographical errors etc.) prior to publication. Title: ‘Don’t tell me I’m still on that feckin’ island’: Migration, Masculinity, British Television and Irish Popular Culture in the Work of Graham Linehan Author: Marcus Free, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick – [email protected] Abstract The article examines how, through such means as interviews and DVD commentaries, television situation comedy writer Graham Linehan has discursively elaborated a distinctly migrant masculine identity as an Irish writer in London. It highlights his stress on how the working environment of British broadcasting and the tutelage of senior British broadcasters facilitated the satirical vision of Ireland in Father Ted. It focuses on the gendering of his narrative of becoming in London and how his suggestion of interplays between specific autobiographical details and his dramatic work have fuelled his public profile as a migrant Irish writer. Graham Linehan has written and co-written several situation comedies for British television, including Father Ted (with Arthur Mathews – Channel 4, 1995-98); Black Books (with Dylan Moran – Channel 4, 2000-2004 (first series only)); The IT Crowd (Channel 4, 2006- 13); and Count Arthur Strong (with Steve Delaney – BBC, 2013-15). Unusually, for a television writer, he has also developed a significant public profile in the UK and Ireland through his extensive interviews and uses of social media. Linehan migrated from Dublin to London in 1990 and his own account of his development as a writer stresses his formation through the intersection of Irish, British and American influences.

John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Fry are featured in their finest shows, and viewers are invited to vote for their favourite on the BBC Entertainment website. John Cleese From Sunday 7 August from 18:00 Kicking off the proceedings, the legendary John Cleese stars in classic 70s sitcom Fawlty Towers. Cleese gives an iconically hysterical performance as Basil Fawlty, the much put-upon hotel manager whose life is plagued by dead guests, hotel inspectors and riff-raff, not to mention hapless waiter Manuel’s peculiar attachment to a certain rodent. Rowan Atkinson From Sunday 14 August at 18:00 The Blackadder series sees the inimitable Rowan Atkinson starring as four different incarnations of Edmund Blackadder. In The Black Adder he is Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh, haunted by his uncle Richard III who he accidentally killed. In Blackadder II, Lord Edmund swaggers back with a big head and a small beard in search of grace and favour from stark raving mad Queen Elizabeth I. In Blackadder the Third, Edmund has been reduced in status and is serving as butler to the Prince Regent (Hugh Laurie), and in Blackadder Goes Forth we find him doing everything he can to avoid a futile death in the trenches of the First World War.
