Celebrating twenty years of the spoof local newspaper from the writers behind the Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups and Charlie Brooker's Wipe shows
In 2001, fans of the internet were introduced to scanned pages from spoof local newspaper The Framley Examiner. Packed with humdrum and preposterous news stories, classified ads, local business features and headlines that seemed to have been typed while asleep, it skewered the banal madness of small-town existence, perfectly encapsulating the British national character.
Framley’s strange yet familiar community – stuffed with its own cast, insane geography and rich local history – struck a chord with those who recognised their own home towns in its reflection. The website was loved and shared by an eager public as well as famous fans from Little Britain, The Simpsons and the Cambridge Centre for Theoretical Cosmology (Professor Stephen Hawking was a Framley enthusiast).
Marking the twentieth anniversary of the website's first appearance The Incomplete Framley Examiner combines the pages of the original book, published in 2002, with all the pages published online in the years since and brand new material for a bigger, more luxurious, toilet-proof compendium for the annals of history.

Robin Halstead, Jason Hazeley, Alex Morris and Joel Morris would, between them, go on to write the best-selling Bollocks to Alton Towers books, write for potty-mouthed national treasure Viz, create TV idiot Philomena Cunk, co-write the BAFTA-winning Charlie Brooker’s Wipe shows and the Paddington films and create the industry-smashing Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups. They met at school and divide their time between London and the pub. @framleyexaminer
