Full English is an adult animated sitcom created by Jack Williams, Harry Williams and Alex Scarfe for Channel 4. The programme was produced by Two Brothers Pictures. It parodies and satirises various popular entertainment personalities in the United Kingdom.
Full English first aired on 12 November 2012, with the first series ending abruptly after the final episode, due to air on 17 December 2012, was pulled from schedules in the morning, over fears from Channel 4 bosses that the episode would've been seen as "offensive" to the gypsy community.[1] It was replaced with a repeat of Alan Carr: Chatty Man. The episode, titled "My Big Fat Gypsy Knightmare," revolves around a character named Eve who fears becoming conventional like her parents. In an act of rebellion, she decides to marry a gypsy boy. Originally scheduled to air as the fourth episode, it was later delayed until the end of the season to allow for additional deliberation by Channel 4 executives regarding its content.
Producers of the show expressed disappointment at the delaying of the episode on the show's Facebook page, stating that Episode 6, which they considered the best in the series, would not be aired due to legal and OFCOM concerns, with Ofcom saying not to air the episode as it "may cause significant complaints". Consequently, the series abruptly concluded. The show was repeated 3 times on Channel 4's sister channel, E4 in 2013. The repeat run didn't feature the final episode, therefore, the final episode is only watchable through the DVD.
The show was later announced to have been cancelled by the official Facebook page.[2]
