He's a legend in his own lunchtime
Article Abstract:
Richard Ingrams, 55, editor of the Oldie, edited Private Eye until 1986. Its circulation had increased to 220,000 and it became a multi-million pound concern. More people sued, involving Ingrams in tiring court cases, so he decided to leave. He appointed Ian Hislop as a suitable, younger editor who would be capable of taking over from him. Ingrams edits the Oldie which has succeeded from 1992-3, with a circulation of 25,000. He reduced the staff from 15 to eight, stopped taking a salary and ceased colour printing to keep it viable. His wife Mary seeks a divorce after over 30 years of marriage.
