Celebrating television's This Is Your Life
Danny BAKER (1957-)
THIS IS YOUR LIFE - Danny Baker, journalist and comedy writer, was surprised by Michael Aspel after interviewing him on his BBC television chat show.
Danny, who was born in London, worked in a record store while writing for the music magazine Sniffin' Glue, which led to a job at the New Musical Express as a writer, reviewer, and interviewer.
He moved into television in 1980, presenting and writing for various programmes throughout the decade, including 20th Century Box - a series of documentaries on youth culture for London Weekend Television and a stint as a reporter for the same channel's regional magazine programme, The Six O'Clock Show.
