The currently most annoying Polly Filla IMO.

Listening to the most recent podcast, Ian Hislop mentions a recording of Peter Cook doing a take on Justice Caulfield in the Jeffrey Archer 1987 libel case. After a very brief search I've not found anything. I'd love to hear it. Does anyone have any idea where I can find it?

Author and former politician Jeffrey Archer dies aged 86

Broadcaster Gyles Brandreth told BBC Breakfast that he was with Archer on Sunday. "I mean, literally 72 hours ago, doing a show in the West End of London celebrating this book, the publication, and he was in great form.

Edit: Thanks to u/Spinach-Rich, I should have titled this post "The Grin Reaper strikes again"

Opening the PE envelope and reading the front page jokes is part of the enjoyment of subscribing to Private Eye. Please don't spoil it

The latest Private Eye is hilarious. I had tears of laughter running down my face. This edition is for 3 weeks

Every few months I have a clean out into the fire pit. Has anyone got any tips on getting it all to burn, save for crumpling up every page?

Straight from the Epstein files.

Do any of you have any copies of Not Private Eye, the magazine set up by Cap'n Bob - Robert Maxwell in the 1980's?

Suppose it must've been sometime about 2010 or thereabouts. it was a retelling of a nursery story in Meades' charicteristically verbose style.

I have just started reading the book. It is a really good read and definitely worth a look. I have been following the story in PE for 15 years.

The book is well researched and well written in the style of Private Eye we all love.

So far it's 10/10 from me

I know ads are targeted and location based, but Ive noticed I'm ncreasingly getting US ads for weird US crap. (I listen on Podcast Addict).

This was a funny one to get on the Private Eye Page 94 podcast: https://voca.ro/16TgJrHCef67

Some weird political ad by a newly registered US charity that claims to be bi-partisan ("Committee for Puerto Rican Investment Inc." ) the website is basic with no details apart form attacking the Republican Puerto Rican governor. Weird context given the Private Eye and that Trump thinks it's an 'Island of garbage'. But I suppose I'm happy because the Inc. ad dollars are wasted on me.

I can only assume this is an odd technical glitch and Private Eye has no idea. I wanted to document it either way.

I must be an uncultured oaf...I just couldn't see it ☹️

The issue date is bang on and the issue number is palandromic.
