* CreatorBacklash: Since leaving the show, Creator/FrankieBoyle has criticised both the show's production team and Creator/TheBBC Trust. He claims that the show did not cover enough major news stories, was too restrictive on his risqué comedy act, as the producers, the BBC Trust were afraid of "frightening the horses" and it was "going through the motions".

* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: An episode in 2016 was postponed by a month due to the murder of MP Jo Cox. Although the episode made no mention of it (having been recorded before the event), there was much discussion about the then-upcoming EU referendum, which was thought to have played a huge role in the murder (she was a supporter of the EU, and her murderer, who had links to far-right groups, saw people like her as "traitors to white people") - a theory proven to be correct at the murderer's trial.
