Product Description

Product Description
This is a compilation of Johnners' famous cricketing gaffes and giggles from the BBC archives, chosen and presented by his son Brian Johnston. Brian Johnston, known to everyone as Johnners, was as well known for his on-air gaffes as for his Test Match Special commentaries. Here are his most famous and funniest cricketing mishaps, which have been chosen by his son, Barry. Among Johnners' laugh-out-loud clangers are 'joined by the Balls', 'sitting on a shooting stick' and a streaker's 'cheeky performance...waving her flag and other things'. There's also Mr Titt's letter...More giggles from the archives include Johnners' notorious Ashes comedy song, his appearances on Quote, Unquote and Trivia Test Match, plus Fawlty Towers insights from John Cleese. From leg-pulling to leg-overs, inflatable parrots to chocolate cake, this special recording is not just for cricket lovers, it's for anyone who loves a laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jonners - who else!, 20 April 2009

By	East London Eagle (London, U.K.) - See all my reviews

What can you say? What happens doesn't always seem immediately funny to the listener, particularly if you do not know the nth degree detail of cricket, but what so clearly comes through is that it is funny. And that the brodcasters, not least of all Jonners, cannot stop themselves and therefore nor can you. You just get carried along on a wave of uninhibited almost boy-ish enthusiasm and love for their sport. Things which to a non-English person may well seem at least utterly peculiar if not downright bizarre.
