The Oldie

The Oldie is a British monthly magazine written for older people "as a light-hearted alternative to a press obsessed with youth and celebrity", according to its website. The magazine was launched in 1992 by Richard Ingrams, who was its editor for 22 years, following 23 years as editor at Private Eye.

In June 2014, after Ingrams' dispute with the magazine's publisher had led to his departure, Alexander Chancellor became the editor. Chancellor died in January 2017, and Harry Mount took over the editorship. That year, the magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary, and its circulation continues to rise.
