Termination reason

The termination reason given in the article (unreliability) is significantly different from the account offered by Humphries and Garland in The Complete Barry McKenzie. They reproduce a memo from Ingrams, which announced the censoring of one submission, recognised that this might cause Humphries to quit, but hoped that he would continue. Humphries states in the book "Barry McKenzie finally petered out as a result of an editorial decision, ironically at a time when I had written at least six months' worth of material in advance." This rather belies the unreliability case, especially as the book contains the pre-prepared material. PDAWSON3 (talk) 23:41, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

My understanding was that it was the scene where Barry blunders in on HM the Queen seated on the lavatory which finally tore it. Despite their satirical schoolboy savagery, that idea was just too much for Ingrams and his public school clique to stomach. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.234.198 (talk) 03:33, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
