How do you begin to do justice to the life of Jeremy Hutchinson QC, who celebrated his hundredth birthday in March? He grew up with the Bloomsbury group and knew Virginia Woolf, who he says was more fun than T S Eliot. He married Peggy Ashcroft. He became a star at the bar, defending Penguin in the Lady Chatterley trail, and then Christine Keeler. He acted for the spies George Blake and William Vassall, and spent years in courtroom battles with Mary Whitehouse on questions of censorship and freedom. All this and a career as a criminal barrister that, John Mortimer said, gave him some of the inspiration for his great creation, Rumpole of the Bailey. Now his story is told in Jeremy Hutchinson's Case Histories, written with the barrister Tom Grant QC in which his passion for the law, freedom and open justice is as strong as ever. We hear from him this morning.
