IAN HISLOP |
| Ian Hislop is editor of Private Eye, though he's better known to millions of fans as team captain in nearly forty series of Have I Got News for You. The show has won several awards including a BAFTA for Best Light Entertainment; in his own right, Ian has received the highest award from the British Society of Magazine Editors. |
| Aside from Have I Got News For You, Ian frequently appears on TV & radio as both commentator & presenter. His long list of credits ranges from Question Time & the grown-up version of University Challenge to documentaries on the scout movement, the history of tax & the popularity of the nation's railways. He has also explored his family roots in Who Do You Think You Are? |
| Ian originally penned sketches for Spitting Image & Harry Enfield before turning his hand to screenplays for the likes of Dawn French & Maureen Lipman. He was also co-writer of the BBC sitcom, My Dad's The Prime Minister. |
| In his after dinner speech, the most sued man in Britain talks about the joys of litigation. He might also mention his ill-fated attempts to drive overseas sales of Private Eye - an object lesson in how not to conquer the export trade. Ian's novelist wife Victoria has enjoyed rather more success in foreign climes. |
