MCC: The Fully Harmonious And Totally Unauthorised History (Radio 4, Friday and Tuesday), written and presented by Peter Tinniswood, and using the "highly classified MCC sound archives." I heard it on the Tuesday, after the end of the Edgbaston Test and it couldn't have been better timed. Both a spoof of cricketing lore and commentary, not least from those Test Match Special worthies on "the talking wireless", and a cricketers' spoof of every sort of documentary or outside broadcast, it made me laugh aloud.

Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 1st August 1987
