Craig Brown (satirist)
Craig Edward Moncrieff Brown (born 23 May 1957) is an English critic and satirist, best known for his parodies in ''Private Eye''.
==Life and career==
Born in Wokingham,〔Wokingham, me and a big day out with Spock http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2211381/Wokingham-big-day-Spock.html〕 Berkshire, Brown was educated at Eton and Bristol University and then became a freelance journalist in London, contributing to ''The Tatler'', ''The Spectator'', ''The Times Literary Supplement'', ''Literary Review'', the ''Evening Standard'' (as a regular columnist), ''The Times'' (notably as parliamentary sketchwriter; these columns were compiled into a book called ''A Life Inside'') and ''The Sunday Times'' (as TV and restaurant critic). He later continued his restaurant column in ''The Sunday Telegraph'' and has contributed a weekly book review to ''The Mail on Sunday''. He created the characters of 'Bel Littlejohn', an ultra-trendy New Labour type, in ''The Guardian'', and 'Wallace Arnold', an extremely reactionary conservative, in ''The Independent on Sunday''. In 2001, he took over Auberon Waugh's "Way of the World" in ''The Daily Telegraph'' following Waugh's death but Brown lost that column in December 2008. Brown also has a column in the ''Daily Mail''.
Brown also writes comedy shows such as ''Norman Ormal'' for TV (in which he appeared as a returning officer)〔(Craig Brown (II) )〕 and his radio show ''This Is Craig Brown'' was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2004. It featured comics Rory Bremner and Harry Enfield and other media personalities. He has appeared on television as a critic on BBC Two's ''Late Review'' as well as in documentaries such a Russell Davies's life of Ronald Searle.
His book ''1966 and All That'' takes its title, and some other elements, from ''1066 and All That'', extending its history of Britain through to the beginning of the 21st century. A BBC Radio 4 adaptation followed in September 2006, in similar vein to ''This Is Craig Brown''. ''The Tony Years'' is a comic overview of the years of Tony Blair's government, published in paperback by Ebury Press in June 2007.
