John Arlott in Conversation with Mike Brearley







Last night BBC4 broadcast John Arlott in Conversation with Mike Brearley, an hour-long programme edited down from the three programmes originally shown in 1985.

You have six more days to watch it on BBC iPlayer and I suggest that you do because it presents a terrific portrait of Arlott the man, just not Arlott the incomparable cricket commentator.

If you want to know more about Arlott then I recommend the book John Arlott: A Memoir by his son Timothy.
