Hi, I have written a fictional diary covering events in the UK from a couple of decades ago. The writer is a purely fictional character, however he does come across various politicians and the odd celebrity of the time, which he records in his diary. It is a comedy and the situations and things that happen with these celebrities are clearly nonsense and obviously did not happen. However, does anyone know the legalities of writing in such a way. My gut feel it that it is fine, as if not, how would such comedy shows as spitting image etc be made. But any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Or indeed any pointers to relevant areas of law.
Many thanks

I guess you would need to make it clear that the events were not real and are dramatised for comedic effect.
