What a wonderful announcement, glad you're not leaving us Ian Hislop.

[@sensiblename295]

Never leave, Ian Hislop. A fixed point in an ever-changing age.

[@muiawat]

Omg , I was really worried 😅 in the first couple mins

[@wendysimpson6395]

Me too!

[@baoboumusic]

And that was 8 years ago.

[@donrobertson4940]

I know. Ian Hislop saying 'going forward.... '

[@joshrogers7816]

​@@wendysimpson6395And me. Big sigh of relief and I can stop sniffing the smelling salts.

[@nikolaslarson6891]

So typically Hislop! Brilliant.

[@SoniaHay-h8o]

Not resigning? Hallelujah!

[@holly-jane9255]

Phew …..was worried there for a minute.

[@ianwilliams5866]

And eight years after that interview was conducted he’s still there. Doing an excellent job. Why would he even consider going anywhere at all?

[@holdenmcgroin3995]

Ah, was wondering why 30 years began in '86

[@garydufresne7542]

Great podcast. From a Ian Hislop fan from Canada. 🇨🇦

[@nightw4tchman]

You bloody got me there at the beginning!

[@baloodarling486]

How delightful.

[@YABBAHEY1]

Welcome back Ian from not intending to leave in the first place. Potentially missed you in your redacted retirement.

[@lizzieatherfold2293]

Excellent Ian Private Eye wouldn’t be the same without him

[@Flubbydubbydoodoo]

How do you know?

[@urbanimage]

Damn! Will we never be rid of Ian Hislop ? 8-)

[@kimberleyaxxxx934]

Stay baby ! 🎉

[@mikewinston8709]

I almost cried….Hislop is totally ace…..read Auberon Waughs auto bio…..he was there on the day Ian’s tenure was announced…..😂😂…🇬🇧

[@ipattison]

This place sounds much more interesting than my airline flight operations department.

[@marcuslloyd9149]

Our bog has a huge collection of private eye magazines.. keep it up lads.. fuggging genius

[@AmySoyka]

I vote Ian Hisplop as Editor of Private Eye.
How do I get my postal vote?

[@GYoung-ew7iz]

Wonder fuel, keep it up.

[@kizfrancis1838]

A legend and never mind Kier and raining-Rishi, Ian should PM.

[@spoton7683]

HooRAH!!! - An UTTER L E G E N D... I shall continue to hold my breath in anticipation of his well-deserved, LONG overdue and (one may only presume) INEVITABLE Knighthood and/or Peerage... 🧐 - Kia KAHA, Ian & and colleagues - all the way from KiwiLand... ✊😉👍

[@salmamohamed4319]

Ian the leader we need!! Not the leader want !! 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂❤❤❤😂❤❤❤

[@cmdr_thrudd]

hehe, phew! I was worried there for a min :D

[@davidstone-haigh4880]

yay!

[@patrickwilliams6143]

Ian's legal counsel had a mild heart attack during the intro.

[@davidf2281]

0:26 Nicely done.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Got really worried there for a sec 😅

[@shyft09]

stereo?? now I have to buy another speaker. Thanks Private Eye

[@zapfanzapfan]

30 years? So, was this recorded in 2016?

[@billyb8]

There is more white in it because the font is too small

[@SerendipityChild]

Plan to retire in ten years, start teaching à 16 year old to take over when they're 26 ..

[@Ettrick8]

I wonder if they'll discuss Private Eye's opposition to the MMR vaccine?

[@bernardkealey6449]

Extremely confused by the timing of this… a “recorded” date would have helped my neurological self assessment somewhat chaps

[@ctmorrison]

Ian Hislop our favourite hobbit up against the eye of Sour on. Go on anon Nuncle

[@JodyCorrigan-rn1ug]

Ian you teaser lol you're not allowed to quit how would we cope!!!!

[@jeanmyers1787]

Don’t resign from HIYNFY

[@hazelranjith4845]

Love you Ian Himler

[@degaulle30]

Why do they keep saying 30 years? Was this recorded in 2016?

[@FakeSchrodingersCat]

Yes, this is a repost of episode 22, they just released episode 118.

[@itstherevolution]

Jeez, you almost ruined my day!

[@Psmith-ek5hq]

It must have been terrible for Mrs Sutcliffe to libelled. She was the respectable wife of a mass murderer.

[@Lee_303]

🥂 🍺🤘

[@michaelmouse4024]

Best Private Eye cover ever? Enoch Powell; re immigration, with 'arms outstretched gesture' saying "Some of them have them this long"

[@johnlanham4050]

Angus!

[@GYoung-ew7iz]

Your a great banana and ole sparky is still more trustworthy than the BBC.

[@imbursting3720]

It's edited!?!?

[@beth12svist]

So, as a Czech I needed to look up the "big fat Czech" and it turns out... Czechoslovak, Jewish, born in Carpathian Ruthenia, probably actually not Czech at all, I'm sorry, Mr Hislop. 🙂

[@Phil_Tutty]

We understand that you don't want to lay claim to him.

[@beth12svist]

@@Phil_Tutty That, and also it's former Czechoslovakia precisely (among other reasons) because the eastern parts of former Czechoslovakia were not happy that people kept forgetting there weren't just Czechs in the country. 🙂

[@gijgij4541]

Being Jewish would be an element of him not being a big fat Czech?

[@ElaineBonnell]

You are Welsh Ian Born in Cymru Feel proud!! Thank the Lord you are Welsh

[@gijgij4541]

So are you saying that being Jewish made Capt. Bob less Czechoslovakian?

[@MrCalls1]

I have to be honest, I tapped this expecting it to be a full podcast on the 30 years Starmergedon approaching.

[@tommymorrison6478]

Who owns PE now? Personally I think Hislop should go. Time for a change.

[@davincisghost9228]

Yeah fuck that guy...😂😂😂 a job for life, who does he think he is...the King?

[@andrewjamieson4617]

30 years eh you gotta laugh.
