8 out of 10 cats

[sherrardk]

All this talk of comedians has made me remember that I wanted to ask if anyone knows why Frankie Boyle's not on 8 out of 10 cats anymore. Thanks

What about Mock the Week?

[Jan1957]

He's not on Mock The Week any more as he had other work commitments. Think he is touring at the moment.

[kawakiri]

There's your answer!

[sherrardk]

Cheers - as I was typing my question I knew there was something wrong with it!

[Mr Veritas]

It seems that (on Mock the Week at least) that he made some near to the bone jokes about someone.He was asked to tone down his humour,and said he would not,and therefore was asked to leave.
I imagine that the same applies to his appearances on 8 out of 10 cats.
I miss him on MTW.

me too Mr V....I don't bother watching it now.....

[Mr Veritas]

NK.
Sadly the "powers that be" in the BBC decided that ALL of Frankie's output was unnacceptable,and if you have ever watched him if you cut out all of his "off colour" humour, there would be about a minute at the start,and a minute at the end.
So he went.
