When Brian Johnston was a schoolboy his reports were full of such phrases as "talks too much in school" and "apt to be a buffoon". Later millions of radio listeners were glad that some things never changed. Johnners brought his wit and personal charm to an enormous range of BBC radio and television programmes for nearly 50 years, from "In Town Tonight" and "Down Your Way" to "Test Match Special". After Brian died in 1994, Christopher Martin-Jenkins wrote: "It is hard to believe that anyone in the history of broadcasting has induced such widespread affection". In this book Barry Johnston has edited highlights from three of his father's books, "It's Been a Lot of Fun", "Brian Johnston's Down Your Way" and "More Views From the Boundary", covering Brian's early days, from his childhood in Hertfordshire, his schooldays at Eton and Oxford, his job in the family coffee business in the City and his service with the Grenadier Guards during World War II. There is also a selection of the most memorable characters and locations from his 15 years on the Radio Four programme "Down Your Way". Finally there is a collection of Brian's popular "View From the Boundary" interviews on "Test Match Special", including conversations with Eric Idle, John Major and Peter O'Toole.
