It's been a tradition of mine for years to get the Private Eye annual. It's a best of, collecting the editors favourite pieces from the magazine over the year. All the usual humour pieces are there. The gag cartoons, one of the few places they still appear, celeb and it's grim up north on the cartoon side. All the parody and satire pieces make an appearance, along with the normal humour pieces.
If I had one complaint about it, there's none of the journalism included. Although PE is well known as a humour publication, the proper journalism is still an important part of the mag, and it would be nice to see some of that included.
