Just 17 Parody Magazine

[badhorsey]

This would be in the late '90s / early '00s: a Viz-style parody of Just 17 photostories. I'm not sure if there was only one issue (One of the stories was called 'A story in just 17 photos' - clever) but it also included the (in)famous photostory that featured a young Hugh Grant.

Does anyone remember this, or what it was called?

Are you sure that your memory hasn't mixed things up? Just Seventeen was a long-running (1983 to 2004) magazine for teenage girls: https://www.doyouremember.co.uk/memory/just-17

It doesn't seem to fit with your description of a 'Viz-style parody'.

Somebody's misread/misunderstood the question.

However, Hugh Grant was in My Guy

No, my memory is straight on this: it was a clear parody of the likes of Just 17 / My Guy etc, and presumably they had the clearance to re-run that story.

This was at a time when there were a lot of parody and satirical magazines. Viz was very popular, and it spawned things like Electric Soup in Scotland, *** (published by X-Press) and the thankfully short-lived right-wing rag The Trout.
