Box by Baxter Peter (38 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Test Match Special is not merely the BBC's radio commentary on Test cricket: it is a programme that has become an institution since its inception in 1957: sometimes most entertaining when no cricket is taking place, and Rain Stops Play leads to hours of the most informed, witty, nostalgic and often hilarious conversation between cricketing greats past and present. Peter Baxter first worked on the programme in 1966, and produced it from 1973 until 2007, and now he has written a delightful memoir of his time in broadcasting. Here, then, from the privileged position of "inside the box" are priceless memories and stories of all Test Match Special's legendary participants over the years: John Arlott, Brian Johnston, Fred Trueman, as well as current incumbents like Henry Blofeld and Jonathan Agnew - who contributes the Foreword. On the one hand here is the hilarity of Botham's Legover and the endless succession of chocolate cakes sent in by devoted listeners, but on the other here is the inside story of a genuine broadcasting institution that has survived, mutated and matured over no less than fifty years. A top-selling hardback, this is one of the most readable cricket books of recent years, with its potential readership everyone who turns in to TMS. Peter Baxter retired from the BBC in 2007 after more than 40 years on Test Match Special. He is a frequent after-dinner speaker. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Hardback. Peter Baxter, Quiller Publishing Ltd. A celebration of three decades of cricket and a unique insight into the world of radio and broadcasting. Test Match Special is both a sporting and broadcasting institution that has become synonymous with the British summertime. Since its first live broadcast back in 1957 it has proudly lived up to its original slogan 'Don't miss a Ball, we broadcast them all'. During much of this time the man behind the scenes was Peter Baxter and here he recalls the best moments and characters from his privileged perspective inside the commentary box. Throughout this period Peter Baxter worked alongside the legendary John Arlott, the inimitable Brian Johnston and the unforgettable Henry Blofeld and ushered in new faces, such as Jonathan Agnew, who continue to entertain, inform and charm listeners today. This book is both a celebration of three decades of cricket and a unique insight into the world of radio and broadcasting. It is the personal, touching and at times, laugh out loud funny, account of the producer's time 'inside the box'. AUTHOR: Peter Baxter has spent a lifetime in radio broadcasting, including 34 years as producer of Test Match Special. Peter Baxter retired from broadcasting June 19th 2007. SELLING POINTS: . Published to coincide with the much hyped Ashes Test Series . Foreword by the BBC cricket correspondent and commentator, Jonathan Agnew. .
