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 their website. The magazine was launched in 1992 by Richard Ingrams, who for 22 years was the magazine's editor following 23 years in the same post at Private Eye. In June 2014, after Ingrams's dispute with the magazine's publisher led to his departure, Alexander Chancellor became the editor. Alexander Chancellor died suddenly in January 2017, and Harry Mount took over editorship. The magazine has just celebrated its 25th anniversary and circulation continues to rise.
