Apart from being the founder and editor of NewsBiscuit, John O'Farrell is the author of such bestselling books as An Utterly Impartial History of Britain, The Best a Man Can Get, This Is Your Life, May Contain Nuts, and Things CanOnly Get Better as well as three collections of his popular Guardian column. An award-winning comedy scriptwriter for such shows as Spitting Image, Smith and Jones and the film Chicken Run, he now regularly appears on TV and radio, on programmes such as Have I Got News for You, Newsnight Review and Grumpy Old Men. His books have been translated into over twenty languages, although how the gags work in Norwegian is anyone's guess.
