What happens

Full English is a British short-lived 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 by Channel 4 executives that the episode would have been seen as "offensive" to the Roma community. 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. On the show's Facebook page, the producers expressed disappointment at the delaying of the episode, stating that Episode 6, which they considered the best in the series, would not be aired due to legal and OFCOM concerns, with OFCOM advising that the episode should not be aired because it "may cause significant complaints". Consequently, the series concluded abruptly. It was repeated three times on Channel 4's sister channel, E4 in 2013. The repeat run did not feature the final episode, which is only available on the DVD. It was later announced on its official Facebook page that the show had been cancelled.
