Book excerpt: His Honor John Baker was first a solicitor and partner with several UK law firms, specializing in libel, copyright, and franchising of the early British Independent Television (ITV) stations before switching roles to become a barrister. Later he was appointed as a Crown Court Recorder then Circuit Judge, rising to become a deputy judge in the High Court of Justice. But John Baker also had a remarkable 'other life', which included being a regular broadcaster and celebrity on television and radio. This candid and often humorous autobiography traces his many experiences as a politician, broadcaster, lawyer, judge, and family man during the course of twin careers spanning over half a century at the hub of socio-politico-legal events.
