George Baker: The Man Behind Inspector Wexford

Please join me in this video, George Baker: The Man Behind Inspector Wexford.

George Baker is most generally known as Inspector Wexford in the Ruth Rendell Mysteries series which ran on television for thirteen years, from 1987 to 2000!

A veteran of stage and television George Baker's first West End appearance was in 1953 and before he died in 2011 he chalked up over 140 credits on the big and the small screen! He also continued to work in theatre and was an accomplished writer - from comedy scripts to cookery books and everything in between!

George Baker had a somewhat complicated love life - he married three times and was also made a widower twice. In the 1950s George Baker had a short but passionate affair with one of cinema's most beautiful actresses!

Please join me as we remember the life and times of an exceptionally gifted actor, and take flowers to his final resting place at All Saints Church, West Lavington, Wiltshire.
