Richard Ingrams is most famous as a magazine editor and journalist. He
was one of the founders of "Private Eye", the fortnightly satirical
magazine which has become a British institution since its inception in
1961, and became its second editor in 1963, replacing Christopher
Booker. He remained in this post until 1986, when he astonished his own
staff by abruptly announcing his resignation. He subsequently started a
quite different kind of magazine, "The Oldie", whose first issue
appeared in 1992. He remained as editor of "The Oldie" until 2014.
