Product Description

Reminiscing about his long life and career at the BBC, Brian talks about many of the diverse occasions and programmes with which he was involved ? He also indulges in his well-known love of (rather bad) jokes and puns.

In this revised edition of An Evening with Johnners, which contains previously unreleased material, the sheer warmth of Brian’s personality comes across to the listener, and it is virtually impossible not to feel at one with the members of the highly appreciative theatre audience.

Review
'A digitally remastered and revised edition of one of the most successful audiobooks ever published ... Johnston was of course known as "the voice of cricket", and here he talks, in his own inimitable style, about his long and distinguished career ...' (Included in Greg Eden's (Bertrams) selection of best adult audiobooks for the season) - Bookseller Sep 29, 2000, p39

About the Author
Brian Johnston was one of the best loved figures on radio and television and will always be remembered as 'The Voice of Cricket'. He commentated on such events as the Coronation and the Boat Race, and presented over 700 episodes of 'Down Your Way', but he was probably known for his years on 'Test Match Special'. When he died in 1994 John Major paid him the tribute: 'Summers will never be the same'.
