Фрэмли Экзаменер: Пародиялық газет және оның тарихы

The Framley Examiner is a parody of a newspaper in a small provincial English town, created as a website and later a book. It is written by Robin Halstead, Jason Hazeley, Alex Morris and Joel Morris.

The Framley Examiner originally began as a website, started in 2001. Its success then spawned a book The Framley Examiner described on the cover as "the book of the website of the newspaper". A second book, Historic Framley , was later published, produced in association with Framley Museum. Its writers are regular contributors to Viz magazine. The book Bollocks to Alton Towers , published in April 2005, by the same authors, is a non fiction book unrelated to The Framley Examiner. The website was last updated on 23 July 2013, but more recent posts have been made to social media accounts. In May 2020, the Framley Examiner website was updated to reveal the launch of a crowd funding appeal via Unbound with the aim of publishing the now out of print Framley Examiner along with additional, previously unpublished material. The father of Joel and Alex Morris worked as a local journalist in Chelmsford, Essex, but the group have dismissed any connection of Framley to the town, saying that "It wasn't meant to be targeting one particular rag."

Vince Previous, an unsavoury fellow who frequently places adverts offering various kinds of massage for ladies. Ianbeale Steeplecocque, MP for the district, whose sole concern is the effect of time travel on the local economy and infrastructure.
