Here 2015 Speaker Profile: Father Ted and IT Crowd creator Graham Linehan

Few figures have had more of an impact on contemporary British television than Graham Linehan. As the creator of Father Ted, Black Books and The IT Crowd, he helped redefine the sitcom landscape and won five BAFTAS in the process.

Over the years he has worked with some of the medium’s brightest talents, including Charlie Brooker, Armando Ianucci and Steve Coogan and through his lively Twitter feed – with its 460,000 followers – Graham has harnessed the interactive power of social media. At Here 2015 Graham will be in conversation with It’s Nice That Editor-in-Chief Rob Alderson.

Alongside Graham, this year’s Here speakers are digital guru Iain Tait, Grand Budapest Hotel graphic designer Annie Atkins, ManvsMachine’s Mike Alderson, designer-turned-artist Scott King, photographic duo Blommers Schumm, karlssonwilker’s Hjalti Karlsson and SHOWstudio editor Lou Stoppard.

We’ll also be welcoming set designer Anna Lomax, illustrator Jordy van den Nieuwendijk, graphic designer Charlotte Heal and Nathan Cowen and Jacob Klein, the brains behind Haw-lin.
