Ian Hislop is the Editor of Private Eye, though he is perhaps more widely known as the

team captain and the only person to have appeared in every single episode of over 50

series of Have I Got News For You. The show has won numerous awards and has

frequently made headlines itself. In his own right, Ian has received the highest honour from

the British Society of Magazine Editors and has become a popular broadcaster, writing and

presenting documentaries on history, politics, art, and religion.

In after-dinner speeches, the most sued man in Britain shares the joys of litigation and

might also recount his ill-fated attempts to drive overseas sales of Private Eye—a lesson in

how not to conquer the export trade.
