Eban's cousin, [[Oliver Sacks]], was a neurologist and author. Eban's nephew, [[Jonathan Lynn]], is a filmmaker and scriptwriter known for satirical [[BBC]] shows ''[[Yes Minister]]'' and ''[[Yes, Prime Minister]]''. Lynn recounts that the plot of an episode of ''[[Yes, Prime Minister]]'' ("[[A Victory for Democracy]]"), which involved the British Prime Minister bypassing his own Arab-centred bureaucracy by taking the Israeli ambassador's advice, was based on an actual incident narrated to him by Eban.
