Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has arrived at court to face trial, accused of harassing a transgender woman. The 57-year-old has denied harassing transgender activist Sophia Brooks on social media and a further charge of damaging her mobile phone in October. The Bafta-winning writer, who also came up with TV sitcoms The IT Crowd and Black Books, has become a strong vocal critic of the trans rights movement in recent years. His trial will begin at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
