In 2001, the internet was introduced to a spoof local newspaper called The Framley Examiner, which brought a fresh perspective on the banal madness of small-town existence. Packed with humor and outrageous news stories, classified ads, local business features, and headlines that seemed to have been typed while asleep, the newspaper perfectly captured the British national character. Framley's strange yet familiar community, filled with its unique cast, insane geography, and rich local history, resonated with those who recognized their own hometowns in its reflection. The website gained immense popularity and was loved and shared by an eager public, as well as famous fans from Little Britain, The Simpsons, and the Cambridge Centre for Theoretical Cosmology (Professor Stephen Hawking was a Framley enthusiast).

To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the website's first appearance, The Incomplete Framley Examiner is a comprehensive compilation that combines the pages of the original book published in 2002 with all the pages published online since then, along with brand new material. This toilet-proof compendium is a testament to the enduring legacy of The Framley Examiner and its ability to capture the essence of small-town life in a humorous and relatable way.
