A beautifully written autobiography from one of the first women journalists on television. The programme Late Night Line Up made Joan Bakewell a sixties icon, dubbed 'the thinking man's crumpet' and, with series such as Heart of the Matter, she has remained an influential presence on our screens ever since. In this searching, intimate account of her life, she retraces the paths she has taken and reveals how it felt to see her affair with Harold Pinter transmuted into his play, Betrayal.
