During the 1990s, his writing partner was Arthur Mathews, with whom he created ''Father Ted''.Linehan has won five BAFTA awards, including two awards for Best Comedy for ''Father Ted'' and one for Best Writer, Comedy, for ''The IT Crowd''. In 2008, he was awarded an International Emmy for ''The IT Crowd''.
Linehan became involved in anti-transgender activism after an episode of ''The IT Crowd'' was criticised as transphobic. He argues that transgender activism endangers women and has likened the use of puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics. Linehan said his activism had ended his marriage and lost him work, such as a planned ''Father Ted'' musical. Provided by Wikipedia
