I still buy the Eye but more from habit than anything else. The cartoons are still good. It lost a lot when Hislop took over, some say appointing him was Cooke's idea of a joke, he did love to upset apple carts, and making Hislop editor cost the Eye the services of Auberon Waugh, quite possibly the most brilliant and funny writer they had. A real satirist, not a sarcasm seller.

@jamesb1815 think they did one recently for the 50th year anniversary, you made this comment two years ago better late than never eh?

Im not sure the Eye is the force it was. This may be down to a lack of good information from reliable sources but it seems to have descended into smirky schoolboy humour. Perhaps that was just the years that Labour was in power. I see that Craig Brown has bought into the Daily Mail, and has dumbed down his writing for that purpose by the looks of things. Sad.

The only paper/magazine in England worth reading. Long may it reign, independantly.

@rjr1967 No, it's Pamella Bordes.

That can't be Nigella Lawson sipping tea at the beginning can it? No, it can't. (Can it?)

Lol. Pretty fucking articulate stuff from a bovine moron. I'm almost impressed. "Cunt" indeed: highbrow!
Once a dumb fan...always a twat.

@ludocrat Naa you are just a sad pissy loser. Reading the daily mail and buying into all the piers morgan bullshit. Hes a cunt and so are you

A dumb fan. How touching.
Hislop = an overrated lightweight (not by his own estimation, natch).
Private Eye = once a great institution, long ago. Now, a bad joke. The bad joke and the Hislop eras coincide, shockingly.
Now fuck off, you toad.

Why hasn't there been a recent documentary on Private Eye, I'm sure it would be fascinating to see how the Magazine's run now?
