Baker is a former Minister for education 1985 to 1989. and before that Minister for Information Technology. He is 88 years old now.
He was brought on to BBC Newnight to be be interviewed about the teachers strike - not quite sure why as its a long time since he was education minister. (34 years ago).
Newnight is a live broadcast, so mistakes can't be edited out.
He was interviewed by Victoria Derbyshire and there was another guest present.
Part of the way through his interview his phone went off, he got it out and tried turning it off. Then put it away - 30 seconds liater it ran again and the same happened and again - then he passed it over the Victoria Derbyshire. It stopped ringing but then started ringing again. Baker smirked and said your phone is ringing to Victoria Derbyshire.
At another point he started interviewing the guest about shortage of physiscs teachers and Derbyshire had to step in and get back control of the interview.
Ended up like a comedy sketch off Harry Enfield.
