Inside the Box is Peter Baxter's inside and untold story of his 34 years' experience as TMS producer and reveals all the friendships, controversies, laughs, highs and lows of his time on the programme. Having been the producer of the great cricket institution Test Match Special for the last 34 years, Inside the Box is the personal, touching and at times, laugh out loud funny, account of Peter Baxter’s time ‘inside the box’. The book, with a foreword by Jonathan Agnew, will be published in May 2009 to coincide with the much hyped Ashes Test Series and it is anticipated that it will enjoy enormous success, not only in the UK but also in Australia, New Zealand and India. 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 behind the scenes of Test Match Special and into the world of radio broadcasting.
