13 分钟Ian Hislop reveals the winner, live from BAFTA, of the 2024 Paul Foot Award!
Page 94, the Private Eye podcast.
Hello and welcome back to page 94.
My name is Andrew Hunter Murray.
If you've been listening to the podcast over the last six days, it will come as no surprise for you to hear that we are live at the Paul Foot Awards, 2024.
We've been speaking over the last six days to the hacks and teams of hacks who've been shortlisted for this year's awards.
All of their stories have been absolutely fantastic.
And we are now about to go over to Ian Hyslop, who is in due course going to tell us who has won this year's award.
Good evening.
I'll open with an apology.
Private eye.
In the last issue, we put in a picture of Ed Davey with the liberal bus and rather childishly put, next stop, world of adventures.
I'm terribly sorry.
It was, in fact, Thorpe park.
You really can't make any of it up.
This is an anniversary in lots of ways.
It's the 20th anniversary of Paul Foot's death this year, but it's also, and this is unbelievable, in 1987, Paul Foote wrote a piece about the infected blood scandal.
That's 1987.
It is incredible sometimes how long journalism takes to work.
I mean, Paul started this and it was carried on.
Bye.
