View From The Boundary
This is a regular Saturday lunchtime feature during home Test Matches, in which guests from all walks of life are interviewed about their love of cricket as well as their own sphere of activity. In the early years of the feature the interviewer was usually Brian Johnston; nowadays most interviews are conducted by Jonathan Agnew. Lily Allen has been interviewed twice and stated a preference for the longer Test form of the game during her first interview on View from the Boundary. Daniel Radcliffe was interviewed on his 18th birthday at the Lord's Test in 2007 after being hunted down by Shilpa Patel, TMS's long-standing assistant producer. During the Ashes Test in 2009 at Lords Patel also attracted the Australian actor Russell Crowe into the TMS box, while his cousin the former Kiwi test cricketer Jeff Crowe was serving as the Match Referee. Agnew remarked "that we have been joined by the cousin of the match referee" live on air. David Cameron has been interviewed twice on View from the Boundary: once when serving as the Leader of Her Majesty's Official Opposition and more recently as Prime Minister.

Famous quotes containing the words view and/or boundary:
“The government, which is the supreme authority in states, must be in the hands of one, or of a few, or of the many. The true forms of government, therefore, are those in which the one, the few, or the many, govern with a view to the common interest.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“It appeared that he had once represented his tribe at Augusta, and also once at Washington, where he had met some Western chiefs. He had been consulted at Augusta, and gave advice, which he said was followed, respecting the eastern boundary of Maine, as determined by highlands and streams, at the time of the difficulties on that side. He was employed with the surveyors on the line. Also he called on Daniel Webster in Boston, at the time of his Bunker Hill oration.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
