C4 forced to suspend Frankie Boyle’s ‘mistake’ Royal Family show
Asking Frankie Boyle to do a documentary about the royal family was always likely to cause upheaval.
Airing the show after the death of the beloved queen would cause revulsion.
And now, I hear, Channel 4 has shelved its plans to screen the show.
“You won’t see this program for a long time, if at all,” an insider tells me. A Channel 4 spokesperson said: “We are carefully reviewing our schedules in light of events and any changes will be made public.”
Former Mock The Week panelist Boyle expressed his frustration, saying, “Let’s spare a thought for everyone who just put the finishing touches on a comedy documentary about the monarchy.”
Last month, I reported that the public service network had tapped controversial comedian to direct the show, Frankie Boyle: Monarchy.
He said he ‘turns his wry gaze on the state of the British monarchy and its future’, adding: ‘He wonders, ‘Will the monarchy soon be out of its misery as it slips gently under the soft pillow of our collective apathy? Does the royal family have a place in the modern world?
Boyle, 50, has previously made ‘jokes’ about the Queen that were so offensive a Tory MP described them as ‘shamefully rude’.
David Davis said: “Just because the Queen is the Queen doesn’t mean she doesn’t have feelings, and she shouldn’t be subjected to that kind of commentary on a national TV show.”
The BBC was forced to cut a line from its Comic Relief cover in 2013 after Boyle, commenting on the Queen’s admission to hospital, said: “I wish she were dead.”
In July, during a gig at the Latitude Festival, he said he wanted people to stop speculating about the Queen’s death because ‘it’s going to rob me of the enjoyment of the event when it happens’ .
After the Queen’s death, he “joked” the King: “Charles seems moved because he thinks how much less noise there will be when he dies, later in the year.”
“If he goes in the middle of the World Cup, he might not even make the headlines.”
The Queen’s funeral spectacle was undermined for the gentlemen of the Turf Club by an edict banning them from a first-floor terrace with an enviable view of the Mall, from where members watched the Golden Jubilee processions. gold, diamond and platinum, and Prince William’s wedding.
“It appears the order came from the Metropolitan Police,” I was told. ‘Very disappointing.’

When comedian Frank Skinner visited King Charles at Clarence House, the then prince had only one thing on his mind: the video-sharing site YouTube.
‘He was like, ‘Are you on, uh, YouTube? I have my own channel now, just this week. I was reading some of the comments.’ ‘
Skinner was alarmed at what the King might face, as comments online can be downright rude.
“I said, ‘Really? Don’t read the comments. No, honestly. You can imagine some of the horrors that would be there. He said, “Maybe I’ll have my assistant look at them.” ‘
My advice to Her Majesty: watch the Mail+ Palace Confidential talk show instead.

The Queen was head of the Church of England but treasured a Mormon ‘bible’ given to her by Olive Osmond, mother of the Osmonds, after a Royal Command performance in 1972.
Olive presented Her Majesty with a copy of the Book of Mormon, saying, ‘I want to give you my most precious possession.’
The Osmonds sang for the Queen again in 2003 and she stopped to speak with Jimmy Osmond, telling him, “I remember your mother, and I still have your Mormon Bible.”
