Channel 4 Shows and Continued Success
After departing from Mock the Week, Boyle began developing his own television projects. While a rumored pilot titled Deal with This, Retards was reported in early development stages, the show was never aired publicly and may have been scrapped prior to production. In 2011, Channel 4 commissioned Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights, a mix of stand-up and sketch comedy. Though it drew attention, the show also attracted criticism and was not renewed for additional seasons.
