  • Merry Christmas! The feud with CHE’s J Martin Stafford continues. Daft old bat Mary Whitehouse wants the BBC to ban Chuck Berry’s single My Ding-a-Ling as it encourages masturbation, apparently. For $20 you can join the City of Men in an “isolated tropical area” which sounds a bit Jim Jones to us. The paper prints a ‘banned’ Monty Python script and a short story by Robin Maugham. Book of the year is Technological Eating by Magnus Pyke; British film of the year is Dulcima.

  • Het of the month is replaced by a 1973 calendar on the back page featuring the previous 12 ‘hets’.
