Not Private Eye was a one-off spoof of the British satirical magazine Private Eye. The spoof was published in December 1986 by Robert Maxwell to celebrate his £55,000 libel victory over Private Eye caused by an accusation of attempted cash for peerages. The spoof edition largely copied the style of Private Eye but attacked its editorial team, including a cover which portrayed the editor Richard Ingrams in a Nazi uniform talking to Adolf Hitler. Meanwhile Private Eye produced a higher priced Christmas edition aimed at raising money to pay the legal damages and costs.
