Private Eye is an establishment approved “controversial” paper were as truly independent newspapers like the ‘The Light Paper’ which challenges and gives a more honest, truthful, alternative version of all the establishment narratives pushed on the UK’s general public has been under attack with multiple hit pieces carried out by the BBC and their top Stazi agent Mariana Spring who’s goal is to demonize and censor alternative news outlets and with help from the government force legal action and arrests against journalists like Richard D Hall who was arrested this year simply for giving an alternative versions of events to the news stories that we are constantly told to believe are real but are really made up bulls**t to manipulate the general public into thinking a certain way to make it easier to push their agendas. The Private Eye with its crappy jokes poses no threat to the establishment because in todays world you can mock but never truly challenge the establishment and it’s Mainstream Media

Brilliant, as always. I am proud that the UK still allows Private Eye to flourish. It's staff would have 'disappeared' or had 'accidents' in many other countries.
lol, instead the legal system, government and private companies openly conspire to make it have no meaningful public presence whatsoever. I guess that's technically better.
What a pleasure it was to be in the audience; hadn't made it to one before. Everyone around me, myself included, loved it. Laughed until my jaws ached. Enjoy!
An annual gem, which like the magazine, attacks the wrong doers, rips the piss out of those who deserve it and always entertains. So many delightful vignettes: Lewis McLeod’s Boris Johnson, Harry Enfield’s King Charles and the lovely Jan Raven’s Liz Truss and Esther McVey had me in kinks. Thank you Private Eye.
So glad that Private Eye drop these occasional nuggets on TH-cam. Have been an avid reader for many years. I know my comment isn't very insightful or thought-provoking, it's really just to stimulate the TH-cam algorithm.
What a treat. Harry Enfield's King Charles was a delight, as were the Donald Trump, Eamonn Holmes and SNP poem by Lewis Macleod. All pretty talented folk.

The impressions and details are spot on. I strongly believe that Ian Hislop deserves an recognition for the passionate way in which he fights for truth and to better the outcomes of government functioning. Especially to the degree he is faced with the consequences from the powerful (rich and thus controlling of puppets in government) which unfortunately is the risk of being sued. Yet the desire he has to get to the truth and subsequent frustration in those who act in terrible ways mean his efforts are significant.
Private eye has videos?!?! I still remember seeing pribate eye as a child in my local off license. I thought it was a magazine for spies 😂 Then many years later, after getting into have i got news for you and ian hislop, I found out what a gem it is!
Nice to see Sir Herbert Gusset is alive and well and posting comments on TH-cam. "Things were so much better in the past, everything's going downhill, Private Eye used to be funny but it's rubbish now" Nurse! The screens!!
Thank God for Private Eye. A loan island of truth in a sea of lies and sleaze. I've subscribed to it for a few years now. Someone said in the canteen at work the other day, "You don't read that do you?" (I don't, I just look at the pictures!) and I told him it was far better than any newspaper you can buy. A great performance by you all, and do keep up the good work.

I disagree with most of Ians politics, but i respect him and will always be interested in what he has to say. He is highly intelligent and extremely engaging.
This is such brilliant work and yes quite amazing in this awful time of HMP Britain and Stasi land of delving into citizens private lives, especially the lowest paid and pensinoers! X 🙏🎊🤔😬🏴🇨🇮
I could not not subscribe to private eye for a year as it is the only paper doing real journalism. And the more I see Ian hislop the more I realise what a national treasure he is! Cant wait till I get my first copy at the start of feb! Keep up the great work all the team!!
I like to watch GB news for a laugh now and again. Funnily enough their coverage of the post office scandal had regular viewers outraged that they had only just heard about it, some even asking why the bbc didn't cover it. Praising GB news for not shying away from the real news. Of course the Private Eye and the BBC had been covering the story not long after Computer Weekly brought it to light. Private Eye better not die, a real bastion of honest journalism.
There are very few things I treasure from the UK since I left in 1968 (yes I am an old git) but Private Eye heads the list 'Punch being a close second but I am not sure this even exists any more?) Pubs came next but from what I read, I don't think I could even go into one now! The Britain I was born into and grew up in as a working class oik seems to have vanished? I was talking to some old friends the other day (mostly Old Gits like me) and a selection of what we hold dear are TV shows like Only Fools and Horses, Yes Minister and Yes Prime MInister, Allo Allo, It ain't half Hot Mum, Are you being served?, Minder, Duchess of Duke Street, Birds of a Feather, Dad's Army, Upstairs Downstairs,. Happily I have made a collection of all of these PLUS The BBC Theatre Presentations (especially Dickens). I don't see anything remotely as entertaining as these anywhere these days. I have been lucky enough to live through these, and note I have gone over the fantastic radio series of the immediate post-war days.
IIRC Thatcher regarded 'Yes (Prime) Minister' as a documentary with jokes, & even appeared as a cameo in an Xmas special despite most of the jokes being very much against her government :) Still one of the funniest & most satirical shows I've ever seen, closely followed by Rory Bremner, John Bird & Ian Fortune's collab in the 90s & ofc Spitting Image (on which Harry Enfield & Jan Ravens did some great voice acting for)

I am extremely envious. 😄
Your jaw has problem there was only infantile rubbish being spouted, and I did notice what little laughter produced seemed to be forced

Private eye and Hislop are national treasures.....❤
his is a vax w.nker.
I hope it lasts beyond Ian , well before Islam takes over & shuts the British culture down completely hopefully 🤞 🙏
Private eye has been my insight into the maneuverings of the elite in society. Honesty and sarcasm employed to hold the beaks feet to the fire.
Glory, Hallelujah, and whoop dedoo for the sanity of Private Eye. 😍

I look forward to this every year. Such a breath of fresh air. This year's offering is particularly amusing. Well done.
What a treat. Harry Enfield's King Charles was a delight, as were the Donald Trump, Eamonn Holmes and SNP poem by Lewis Macleod. All pretty talented folk.
I hope it's a new revenue stream for HE. His Charles is an indispensable as Steve Nallon's MT.
@@t.p.mckenna He's been slurping up that revenue stream for years on 'The Windsors,' but yes, it's likely to get much deeper now Charles is King.
The SNP poem was GENIUS
Cannot stand Harry Enfield.
Ian isn't even a comedian and he's funnier than Harry has ever been.
@@jamesedmonds7519
Funnily enough, Hislop would strongly disagree with you. As I do.
How does Lewis McCloud do such a precisely accurate Trump voice? Incredible.
26:10 and boris..😂
@@jdjones4825 him too, yes!
Jan Raven's impressions are still top quality.
Definitely, I mean who’s funnier than Jan? Apart from guys of course.
I thought she really nailed Liz Truss.
@@OriginalCaliKitty I didn't know that In Liz we NEVER Trusted was Australian
... and that Toxic Trump comes from Northern Ireland
She's brilliant
Lewis Maclaod is such a superb impressionist :-)

The best of British journalism, Harry has "Lord "Cameron to a tee
Love this, also catch Jan & Lewis doing brilliant impressions on the very funny Dead Ringers (BBC iPlayer).
a much anticipated annual event ,never fails
So much fun! Thanks to all concerned 😅
Absolute genius from start to finish
Oh, gosh, that Penny Wilton is so spot on!
Harry Enfield has nailed the Dennis Nordon imitation to a tee!
thank you. a yearly treat.. much looked forward to and always a delight.
The best satire is the old school pull no punches stuff. Long may it continue.

Oh! I looked everywhere for tickets for this event this year. What does Ian mean "and we can sell it". The NT always sold out
It definitely was Milton Keynes, he’s also a bit of a comedian.
Yaaayy!!
Ian seems to have way more pages than the others. Is it he needs large print ? If so when can i expect a large print of Private eye please.
Does anyone know how to get tickets to private eye year review event? I was searching regularly, as for a Christmas present for my mother
I hope there's something on Kissinger! :D
