Graham Linehan (born 1968) is an Irish writer who, often in partnership with Arthur Mathews, has written or co-written a number of popular television comedies.
As a pair they have been responsible for segments in many high profile sketch shows including Harry Enfield and Chums, The All New Alexei Sayle Show and the Ted & Ralph characters in The Fast Show) (the characters were created by Linehan and Mathews and played by Charlie Higson and Paul Whitehouse). They also contributed to various magazines and wrote surreal liner notes for the popular "Volume" series of alternative music compilations.
However, it was with Father Ted (3 series, 1995-1998) that Linehan and Mathews made their biggest splash on the public imagination. They also wrote the first series of the sketch show Big Train, but Linehan bowed out for the second series.
