Father Ted and trans rights critic Graham Linehan pleads not guilty to harassing and smashing phone belonging to a transgender woman
Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has pleaded not guilty to harassing a transgender woman and damaging her phone. The Irish comedy writer, 56, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court today to deny the charges of harassing Sophia Brooks on social media and damaging her mobile in October. The Bafta-winning writer, who also came up with TV sitcoms The IT Crowd and Black Books, has become a vocal critic of the trans rights movement in recent years. Linehan, who created Father Ted in the 1990s with fellow Irish writer Arthur Mathews, said in a post on X in April that the allegations were related to an incident at the Battle of Ideas conference in London on October 19. Court documents show Linehan is charged with harassing the alleged victim by posting abusive comments about her on social media between October 11 and October 27, and damaging her phone to the value of £369 on the day of the conference. The 56-year-old, who once dubbed himself 'the most hated man on the internet', told how jobs 'fell away' when he became embroiled in the transgender debate. He was banned in 2020 from Twitter after writing 'Men aren't women tho' before later being reinstated by X founder Elon Musk. A long-awaited Father Ted musical was then axed in 2022 because of the 56-year-old's controversial political opinions. When two venues cancelled his 2023 Edinburgh Fringe shows, the now-divorced Linehan opted to perform his set outside the Scottish Parliament. The 56-year-old sat in seats in front of the dock wearing glasses, a white shirt, grey suit jacket and grey jeans, and spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth and to deny the charges. Some supporters of the defendant were turned away from the court because of a shortage of seats. Deputy District Judge Louise Balmain told Linehan his trial would take place on September 4 this year at the same court. He was freed on bail with the condition not to contact the complainant directly or indirectly. It comes as Linehan last month praised the Supreme Court's decision to confirm that the word woman is based on biological sex, meaning trans women are legally not women. Linehan said trans women should be excluded from women's spaces as they were not women - a view that has now been backed up by the Supreme Court. But although he hailed the Supreme Court decision, he said the war on woke has only just begun. Speaking to MailOnline, Linehan described the moment he realised the judge had ruled in favour of biology - and revealed his hopes for his own comedy comeback. He said: 'I was in the courtroom. The judge said we had to respect the court and not have any reaction. 'When we heard it, you could feel the crackle go around the room. 'The moment the judge left, it just sunk in that we won after 10 years of fighting this nonsense. It's good news but this is only one issue in a lot of woke issues. 'The big problem we have is with TV commissioners. The artists are still out there but they have to get past these people who don't really care about art. They care about imposing their beliefs on people. 'If you look back at the 90s with Britpop, British art was famous round all over the world and there was a real sense of excitement. 'But over the last 10 years there's been a dearth of notable stuff. Because these people have tied their hands and feet together. 'It's all very safe - almost trying not to get noticed. 'If you can't say that reality is real, then you can't do jokes about reality. 'That's what all artists do. If you deny the truth of the exterior world, they can't do that. 'But I don't think we will forever be able to stop funny people being funny. People will get sick of it. 'There's going to be a fightback [against wokeness]. Young people are sick of the rules. I think it will naturally fade away and we will come back to freedom of speech.'

The Corrs at St Anne's Park: Everything you need to know
The Corrs, consisting of siblings Andrea, Sharon, Caroline and Jim, are bringing a show acclaimed for power and emotion, to Dublin's St Anne's Park on Sunday. The siblings have sold over 40 million records to date, with their classic hits that have made fans of even Taylor Swift and Emma Watson. Advertisement Their massive commercial success made pop stars of The Corrs but first and foremost they are musicians, with the spectacular hit-packed concerts showcasing a band at the top of their game. So, if you are headed to St Anne's Park to see The Corrs live this weekend, keep reading to find out everything you need to know. When and where is it on? The Corrs play at St Anne's Park, Clontarf, Dublin on Sunday, June 8th 2025, with doors opening at 5pm. When we get the official stage times, we will update this article with them. Are there tickets left? Some tickets are still available on for the Sunday concert, so if you want to go, it is still possible! Concertgoers are advised to buy tickets from accredited sources only. Advertisement Who are the support acts? Both shows will feature special guest Imelda May and additional support from Natalie Imbruglia. When should I arrive? Allow at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. That means, allow two hours on top of the time Google Maps is telling you it will take. When you get to either of the two entrances, you will have to walk an extra roughly 1.3km from the park entrance to the ticket scan/entry. There are two entrances: The green entrance is on Sybil Hill onto the main avenue, and the blue entrance is on All Saints Road via Tennis Court entry. Advertisement There is no entry or exit on Mount Prospect Avenue. St Anne's Park is a residential area – organisers have appealed to all concertgoers to respect the local community by not littering, engaging in antisocial behaviour or parking illegally. How do I get there and home again? Plan and book your travel arrangements in advance, allowing at least an extra two hours travel time to and from the venue. As traffic delays are inevitable, fans are encouraged by promoters to walk, cycle, use public transport and private coach services. By DART: The nearest DART station is Harmonstown Dart Station and they will run services to and from the concerts each day. By car: There is no public parking at the event, and car parks in St Anne's are not open to the public during events, so promoters have asked fans to use public transport and not to park illegaly or in residential areas as clamping will be in operation. By bus: You can get Dublin Bus No 6, H1, H2, and H3 to the venue from Abbey Street Lower. Marathon Coaches are also running return buses to and from the City Centre to St Anne's Park for the concert. Buses leave from Northwall Quay Bus Stop 7623 at 3pm, 4pm and 5pm on the day of the concert and drop off at St Paul's School, Clontarf. Return buses will be leaving the coach park at 11pm sharp. Advertisement What are they expected to play? Obviously, we never know what a band are going to play until the night itself, but here is a taster of what fans can expect, based on the setlist for their March concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London: Only When I Sleep Give Me a Reason Lough Erin Shore Advertisement Forgiven, Not Forgotten Summer Sunshine What Can I Do White Light Little Wing (The Jimi Hendrix Experience cover) Joy of Life (cover) Ellis Island My Lagan Love (cover) Radio Queen of Hollywood Dreams (Fleetwood Mac cover) I Never Loved You Anyway So Young Runaway Encore: Breathless Toss the Feathers (cover) What's the story with security? Under-16s attending the concert must be accompanied at all times by an adult over 25. Unaccompanied under-16s will be refused entry without a refund. The promoter deems that large outdoor concerts are not a suitable environment for children under five, and all attendees must have a ticket. No queuing is allowed prior to the gates opening, and attendees are advised to allow time for security checks on the way in. If you do turn up early, you will be turned away at restricted area points around the event site. Regardless, you should aim to be within the venue 30 minutes before the show starts. Bags larger than A4 size will not be permitted. All bags may be searched, and this can be time-consuming, so consider going bagless for easier entry. There will be no cloakroom or storage facilities. No alcohol or food is allowed into the arena. Other banned items at the event include – but are not exclusive to – umbrellas, garden furniture, camping chairs, e-scooters, e-bikes, selfie sticks, flares, glasses or cans. There is also no re-admission to the concert, so if you leave, you cannot re-enter. Can I take photos at the concert? Smartphones and small digital cameras are permitted, but cameras with long or detachable lenses or recording equipment are not. GoPros and iPads are also prohibited. What's the weather giving? At the time of writing, it's giving temperatures between 9 and 14 degrees on Sunday but no rain and just some sun, but partly cloudy. That is subject to change though. St Anne's Park is a standing-only venue, and all gigs take place outdoors on grass, so regardless of the forecast, dress accordingly for Irish weather – think wellies, boots or runners, layers, raincoats/ponchos and suncream. But remember, no umbrellas.

James Bond fans believe Daniel Craig's replacement will be much younger star as new actor's name is thrown in the mix
James Bond fans are speculating over who will replace legendary Daniel Craig in the new 007 First Light game. It's been four years since Daniel Craig exploded out of the film franchise in No Time To Die. And rumours have been swirling in recent months over who will take the British actor's place - with fans claiming they have worked it out. Yesterday, Bond bosses at Amazon MGM Studios unveiled the first look at a new, younger version of 007 - in an officially endorsed video game prequel. It follows a 26-year-old Bond straight out of the Royal Navy, as he embarks on a mission to earn his double-O. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It's been announced that Patrick Gibson from Dexter: Original Sin has been cast as the voice of 007 in the new computer game. Now, it's left fans convinced he will play the role of Bond in the next film. Taking to X, many Bond viewers shared their guesses as to who will replace Daniel in the movie franchise. One person wrote: 'Unless I'm mistaken, our new game Bond is being played by Patrick Gibson. Another Irish Bond in the bag, can't argue with that! Also… the scar down the cheek from the books, FINALLY!!! #007FirstLight.' Another penned: 'So James Bond is definitely played by Patrick Gibson from Dexter Original Sin.' A third added: 'Patrick Gibson as James Bond?!? This is peak casting.' A fourth said: 'Is James Bond being played by Patrick Gibson Aka Young Dexter Morgan or am I seeing things?' Familiar faces like M, Q and Moneypenny are set to appear - along with a new character, John Greenaway, a mentor figure played by Lennie James, best known for his role as Morgan in the Walking Dead. Taking to X, many Bond viewers shared their guesses as to who will replace Daniel in the movie franchise The trailer goes on to show Bond seemingly meeting Moneypenny, a young black woman with glasses, before taking on target practice and then sneaking into a museum, taking down guards. It cuts to a ruined hotel room, as Bond quips to a stunned maid walking in: 'Jet lag. Gets me every time.' He's seen racing through tropical islands on a speedboat, and disarming thugs as fireworks go off in the background - and ends on a cliffhanger as he and Greenaway are lowered towards a pit of hungry crocodiles. Bond wisecracks: 'I suppose this is another teachable moment?' British brands are featured by the boatload, from a Land Rover Discovery in the background of a fight scene to a Triumph motorbike and at least two Aston Martins - suggesting the game will be just as enrobed in British heritage as the films. While nobody has been officially confirmed as the actor playing Bond, fans of Patrick Gibson are convinced that it is him based on the spy's likeness, mannerisms and voice.
