Part real-life thriller, part comedy, this is the bizarre story of the long and complex legal battle between Sir James Goldsmith and "Private Eye". In January 1976, the millionaire tycoon Jimmy Goldsmith issued over sixty libel writs against the satirical magazine "Private Eye" and thirty-seven of its distributors.
