As the Forest of Dean goes Labour, I remember a friend there phoning & asking me to post him that day’s Observer because of an interview in it. I asked why he couldn’t just buy it and he said “It’s the Forest, mate. We only have the Daily Mail and Badger Gasser’s Weekly”. 1999 this was.

Went on a road trip in the '90s to Grimsby to see a friend who lived there with their parents. Londonish university friend in the back of the car losing his MIND as we both failed to find a petrol station open at the weekend or a copy of the Observer for many, many miles. Hysterical in every sense.

Badger Gasser's Weekly definitely feels like it's featured on Have I Got News For You.
