Private Eye, Public interest?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

John Timpson scours Soho for Lord Gnome, Grovel, E.J. Thribb, Slicker, Blackleg and the rest of the pseudonyms masking the contributors of gossip, satire and original investigative journalism that make up the fortnightly Private Eye.
Are its uncomfortable exposures of private lives, private dealings, and its occasional libels, in the public interest; and how far has pure gossip submerged high journalistic standards?
