Viz has been gracing British newsagents' shelves since 1979. Its irreverent mix of bad language, childish cartoons and sharp satire has seen its creators hauled over the coals by the United Nations, questioned by Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch and exhibited in the Tate Gallery. Viz's comic characters, such as the Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist, and Roger Mellie the foul-mouthed Man on the Telly, as well as its hugely popular Top Tips and Profanisaurus sections, are firmly established as national institutions, just like Broadmoor Hospital for the Criminally Insane. *Manufacturer's estimate.

WIGGINS vs WALSH WHO’S THE BEST BRADLEY W? • WIGGINS and Walsh. No, they’re not a lacklustre firm of provincial solicitors, they’re the country’s two favourite Bradleys. Everyone who’s ever put The Chase on because they’re a bit bored with Pointless is familiar with WALSH, the cheeky ex-football pro turned Dr Who star, soap stalwart and teatime quizmaster. And fans of Olympic cycling all love WIGGINS, the mod-mad bike nut who’s won more Tour de Frances than he’s had hot tempers. But which one is the best of this particular Brad Bunch? The Chase is on.
