Ch4 viewers are a hardy bunch. They certainly don't get scared away from tv shows just because the Daily mail gets its knickers in a twist.

Truth is, without the controversy his ratings would probably be even worse!

Well i thought it had it's funny moments. that bit when the 4 kids (spoofing the narnia movies) found that weird creature on the log, and then tortured it. i laughed my ass off. I thought the knight rider spoof was hilarious too.

It's certainly funnier than the Morgana show, or the Stephen k Amos show.... IMHO.

It was rubbish. There was some funny bits but this was his own TV show, not mock the week and it failed.

Frankie Boyle was only ever going to get away with these jokes if the show was actually good. It wasn't. Hince he hasn't.

Angry Boyle uses more racist language on Channel 4 show despite complaints
http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/tv/20...5875-22816633/

Quote:
During a routine on Wednesday’s final episode, Boyle said: “The Commonwealth Games were originally called The Empire Games, it basically started out as a huge slave race.”

Adopting a posh voice he added: “William, I think my n*****s are quicker than yours.”
Oh dear .....

..... and he was factually wrong, too - not many "enslaved" countries here :

Quote:
There were 11 teams participating in these first British Empire Games:

* Australia
* Bermuda
* British Guiana
* Canada
* England
* Ireland
* Newfoundland
* New Zealand
* Scotland
* South Africa
* Wales

The Games were held in Hamilton, in the province of Ontario in Canada from August 16–23, 1930.

The events included athletics, boxing, lawn bowls, rowing, swimming, and wrestling.

Nasty man .....

Thumbs down Boyle mocks Aids and rape victims
http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view...le-faces-boot/

Quote:
The last show in his controversial series Tramadol Nights, which went out on Wednesday, featured crude gags about Elisabeth Fritzl, 44, who was raped by her father Josef, 75.

He also made a sick jibe at Amy Winehouse, 27, saying: “I reckon Aids is worried about catching her.”

Default Frankie Boyle ditched from British Comedy Awards
Quote:
Frankie Boyle is refusing to attend the British Comedy Awards after being told he will not be a presenter as expected.

Boyle has been in the headlines recently for his controversial Tramadol Nights show in which he made jokes about Katie Price’s son Harvey and used racist words.

Rumour was that Boyle would be presenting this year’s Comedy Awards as he did in 2009 when the show was aired on ITV. This year the ceremony will be screened on Channel 4.

However, yesterday Channel 4 – which also hosts Boyle’s Tramadol Nights – said that the comedian would not have any presenting duties at this year’s Comedy Awards.

To add insult to injury, Boyle has also not been nominated for any gongs.

As a result, Boyle is snubbing the ceremony altogether.

Bye, bye, Frankie .....

You forgot this bit... “Frankie thought he would be one of the stars of the show because it was being screened on Channel 4 and he was looking forward to presenting a gong,” a source told the Mirror

So probably made up bollox.

All I have to say to people who are constantly complaining about FB if you don't like him or his jokes just turn the ****ing channel and watch Michael McIntyre instead it's as simple as that! No one is forcing anyone to watch him,Why do they have to ruin it for others who do like this kind stuff? just because you have a different sense of humour...

Channel 4 is a British public-service television broadcaster which began working on 2 November 1982. Although largely commercially self-funded, it is ultimately publicly owned, so I think that gives the viewers a right to comment on what the channel broadcasts and complain if they don't like it .....
