The series was investigated by Ofcom following over 500 complaints being received by Channel 4, over jokes ridiculing the disabled son of Katie Price.
A spokesperson for Channel 4 confirmed to Scotland on Sunday that no further episodes of the series would be commissioned and that a pilot for another series by Boyle would also not be transmitted.

Im gutted. It was great to see a show that pushed boundaries. if you dont like it then dotn watch it is my opinion.
Its not on the BBC so you havent paid for it ect else i agree with the complaints but its not. Advertisers have paid.
Surely some moderation of his content would be better than a full out non comission.
