Court Number One of the Old Bailey is the most famous court room in the world and the
venue of some of the most sensational human dramas ever to be played out in a criminal
trial.

The principal criminal court of England, historically reserved for the more serious
and high-profile trials, Court Number One opened its doors in 1907 after the building
of the 'new' Old Bailey. In the decades that followed it witnessed the trials of the
most famous and infamous defendants of the 20th century. It was here that the likes of
Madame Fahmy, Lord Haw Haw, John Christie, Ruth Ellis, George Blake (and his unlikely
jailbreakers, Michael Randle and Pat Pottle), Jeremy Thorpe and Ian Huntley were
defined in history, alongside a wide assortment of other traitors, lovers,
politicians, psychopaths, spies, con men and - of course - the innocent.

Not only notorious for its murder trials, Court Number One recorded the changing face
of modern British society, bearing witness to alternate attitudes to homosexuality,
the death penalty, freedom of expression, insanity and the psychology of violence.
Telling the stories of 12 of the most scandalous and celebrated cases across a
radically shifting century, this audiobook traces the evolving attitudes of Britain,
the decline of a society built on deference and discretion, the tensions brought by a
more permissive society and the rise of trial by mass media.

From the Sunday Times best-selling author of Jeremy Hutchinson's Case Histories, Court
Number One is a mesmerising window onto the thrills, fears and foibles of the modern
age.
