You know how America keeps coming up with ideas and calling them their own? Archie Bunker and 'All In The Family' (1971) for example - an excellent show - but close to zero credit for the UK's 'Till Death Us Do Part' (1966) ... even though Norman Lear actually had to buy the rights of 'Till Do Us Part' to make it. Well, there's a new one that has been living in my head recently .
Doubtless, you know Graydon Carter of Vanity Fair who recently gave a scathing review of Trumpet's grill. Graydon is one of the founders of a New York magazine called Spy Magazine - " a satirical monthly magazine that ran from 1986 to 1998.
In the UK a magazine called Private Eye was founded fully 20 years before - in 1966 by - amongst others Willie Rushton and Richard Ingrams - but really took off after funding by Peter Cook. If 'took off' is how it might be described.
