Frankie Boyle show 'Tramadol Nights' axed by Channel 4?

Frankie Boyle's controversial show Tramadol Nights has reportedly been dropped by Channel 4.

The series attracted complaints from viewers and was publicly criticised by Katie Price for making a joke about her disabled son Harvey when it aired in 2010.

Price's complaints about the show were also upheld by Ofcom, who agreed that the material in the show could be considered "highly offensive".

Tramadol Nights has now been dropped by Channel 4, according to the Daily Mail.

Boyle allegedly said: "I was really happy with it, but you can see why they didn't want to recommission something that was getting them front page hatred, and I was a bit relieved.

"A six-week panel show takes six weeks to make. Because I was involved from storyboard to editing, Tramadol took over six months, and loads of that was late nights and six-day weeks."

The reports have also claimed that Boyle's planned chatshow, Frankie Boyle's Rehabilitation Programme, will not be made into a series after a pilot was filmed last year.

A Channel 4 spokesperson allegedly described Tramadol Nights as a "one-off" and confirmed that no more episodes will be made, adding that there are no plans to turn Rehabilitation Programme's "non-transmittable pilot" into a series.
