A Further Slice of Johnners

When Brian Johnston was a schoolboy, his reports were full of phrases such as 'talks too much in school' and 'apt to be a buffoon'. Later millions would be delighted to discover that some things never changed! A Further Slice of Johnners covers 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 the Second World War. There is also a selection of the most memorable characters and locations from his fifteen years on Radio 4's Down Your Way plus a collection of his popular 'View from the Boundary' interviews on Test Match Special.
