| Who on Earth is Tom Baker? |
| Book |
This is the paperback edition of Tom Baker's best-selling autobiography,
originally
published last year.
The autobiography covers his childhood in the poor, spirited Irish community
in Liverpool;
his six years as a monk; his struggling times as an out-of-work actor;
and onto
appearences alongside Olivier at the National Theatre, work with Pasolino
and his time as
Doctor Who.
Far exceeding the usual expectations of an actorly autobiography, Who
on Earth is Tom
Baker? is a richly coloured, startlingly wild black comedy. Tom Baker
is the kind of man
who could drink the old off-the-wagon Anthony Hopkins under the table
and who now
spends much of his leisure time mowing the grass around his own gravestone
in the local
churchyard. His memoirs, full of anarchic humour, surreal, ribald and
revealing anecdotes,
will stand comparison with those of Spike Milligan, Peter Ustinov and
David Niven.
