There are hundreds of hilarious memories, stories and anecdotes, all told in his inimitable, friendly style and he describes the famous 'leg-over' incident.

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\".

In this delightful reading from his autobiography 'It's Been a Lot of Fun', Brian recalls his schooldays at Eton and Oxford, his early career in the family coffee business in the City, Hamburg and Brazil, and his service as a Technical Adjutant in the Grenadier Guards during World War II. In January 1946 Brian joined the BBC Outside Broadcasts Department. For the next 48 years he presented hundreds of programmes on radio and television, from 'Let's Go Somewhere' to royal weddings and 'Down Your Way', but he was probably best known as a cricket commentator and he became a national institution on 'Test Match Special'. Recorded in 1990 when he was 77, Brian tells some of his favourite stories and gaffes in this cheerful look back at a unique career behind the microphone, a life full of lucky breaks and private disappointments, but always a lot of fun. 1 CD. 1 hr 15 mins.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49577999859985,"sku":"GOR006510399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49755389952273,"sku":"GOR007254224","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1408467283.jpg?v=1751145910"},{"product_id":"another-slice-of-johnners-book-brian-johnston-9780753506288","title":"Another Slice of Johnners","description":"Brian Johnston, known as \"Johnners\" to millions of cricket fans around the world, was for nearly 50 years the voice of cricket on BBC Television and radio.

When Brian Johnston died in 1995 it was as if a great cricketer had passed on. Standing room only at the Westminster Abbey  funeral and a trio of books that raced into the bestseller lists and stayed. But what suprised Heald was how little of his life  appeared to exist in written form. Apart from a few fragments, no letters from school, university, early jobs and war. Then in  1996, his widow in clearing their house, came across a box, opening it she found more than 400 letters from Brian to his mother  and stepfather dating back to his 1st term at Eton and ending in 1946 as he joined the BBC. Son Barry has now transcribed and edited them. Although the letters date from long before he became famous, the schoolboy humour emerges early, but being at Eton and  New College means his future network is ensured: we learn for instance that Alec Dunglass wore 1 of Brian Johnston's shirts when  accompanying Chamberlain to Munich in 1938. He is also a good observer of a social scene long since past. the letters are  reminiscent of Joyce Grenfell's to her mother, published in 1985 and a bestseller.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49584700817681,"sku":"GOR004361128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50880316440849,"sku":"GOR011134158","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0297841270.jpg?v=1751454771"},{"product_id":"chatterboxes-book-brian-johnston-9780413495808","title":"Chatterboxes","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49589336441105,"sku":"GOR008293033","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50971553136913,"sku":"GOR013044972","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53251925999889,"sku":"GOR005224522","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0413495809.jpg?v=1750781297"},{"product_id":"packaging-notes-from-the-de519n-desk-book-brian-johnston-9781777087708","title":"Packaging Notes from the DE519N Desk","description":"From industry terms and mathematical equations, to retail display guidelines and press sizes, this book is a quick reference guide to almost anything you will need in your library of information as a Structural Packaging Designer, focusing primarily on the corrugated side of packaging materials.

To an Englishman's ears, the sound of leather against willow will always be closely associated with the cheerful tones of Johnners' voice.  But there was so much more in his life. From the high jinks of Eton and Oxford he graduated to being a city gent in the family coffee business. Later, as Technical Adjutant in the Grenadier Guards, he contributed to the war effort with his very own 'Dad's Army'. Once demobbed in 1945, he began a broadcasting career that introduced him to a gaggle of British eccentrics from places visited in Down Your Way, and eventually took him to the cramped, cosy and chaotic cricket commentators' box where gaffes, terrible jokes and gales of laughter were never far away. Along the way there was a marriage to 'a very attractive blonde' and five children.  Lovingly edited by his eldest son, Barry, this is a wonderfully enjoyable compendium of three of Johnners' best loved books, the autobiographies It's Been a Lot of Fun and It's a Funny Game, and Rain Stops Play.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49601015316753,"sku":"GOR000857080","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51683803300113,"sku":"GOR003146314","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53261778092305,"sku":"CIN0753505096G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0753505096.jpg?v=1751425366"},{"product_id":"rain-stops-play-book-brian-johnston-9780491023283","title":"Rain Stops Play","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49605631410449,"sku":"GOR008586283","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50770772459793,"sku":"GOR006458833","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0491023286.jpg?v=1750782470"},{"product_id":"sicilian-summer-book-brian-johnston-9781741147353","title":"Sicilian Summer","description":"Travel writer Brian Johnston accepted an invitation to attend the confirmation of a friend's god-daughter in Sicily, naively expecting little more than the chance to immerse himself in some genuine southern Italian hospitality, while exploring the vibrant tastes, smells, flavours and rituals of Sicilian food.

Although there is little specific biographical data in support of the author's thesis, he argues compellingly for it in his analysis of the texts themselves. After discussing Hegel's dramatic method of exposition and Ibsen's philosophy, Johnston examines each of the twelve plays in considerable detail. Provocative and sophisticated in its approach, this volume should be widely available to scholars and advanced students of modern drama. ---Library Journal","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49994829889809,"sku":"CIN0271008741G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50410157408529,"sku":"CIN0271008741VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52438311993617,"sku":"CIN0271008741A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53181192077585,"sku":"NLS9780271008745","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53559804395793,"sku":"GOR008990548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0271008741.jpg?v=1751228266"},{"product_id":"text-and-supertext-in-ibsen-s-drama-book-brian-johnston-9780271006444","title":"Text and Supertext in Ibsen's Drama","description":"Brian Johnston's approach to Ibsen, now well known, is unlike any other. Johnston sees Ibsen's twelve realist plays as a single cyclical work, the \"realist\" method of which hides a much larger poetic intention than has previously been suspected. He believes that the cycle constitutes one of the major works of the European imagination, comparable in scale to Goethe or Dante. And he has shown Ibsen to be the heir to Romantic and Hegelian art and thought, adapting this heritage to the circumstances of his own day.This work demonstrates how the language and scene, characters and \"props,\" of the Ibsen dramas establish a bold and far-reaching theatrical goal: nothing less than an account of our biological and cultural identity in its multilayered totality. Johnston argues that Ibsen's realist text, while stimulating the appearance of nineteenth-century life, also objectively and precisely builds up an alternative image in which archetypal figures and situations from our cultural past repossess the realist stage. Thus he sees the Ibsen \"strategy\" in his realist plays as twofold: (1) the dialectical subversion of the nineteenth-century reality presented in the plays, and (2) the forced recovery of the archetypal from the past, in a procedure similar to James Joyce's in Ulysses. By \"supertext\" Johnston means a reservoir of cultural reference upon which Ibsen continuously drew in his realist work just as in is earlier poetic and historical dramas.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50018033336593,"sku":"CIN0271006447G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346504388881,"sku":"CIN0271006447A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0026PI2RA.jpg?v=1751038449"},{"product_id":"all-about-cricket-book-brian-johnston-9780491006729","title":"All About Cricket","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50026497507601,"sku":"GOR002193122","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50751220875537,"sku":"GOR003211257","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50859232526609,"sku":"GOR006854268","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0491006721.jpg?v=1750975909"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-brian-johnston.oembed?page=6","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
