Boycott & Aggers provide an evening filled with fun and nostalgia There are video contributions from the Prime Minister, David Cameron, on the joys of Boycott Bingo (buy the programme for more details), the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, and cricketers Dominic Cork, Jeff Thomson and Alec Stewart. Cork recalls Boycott saying his grandmother could bat better than him, probably with a stick of rhubarb, while Stewart thanks him for the support given during his early days: "you'll be a good player - but never as good as me." Act One concludes with a game of 'Mastermind' with Aggers asking the questions and Boycott's specialist subject being, of course, Geoffrey Boycott. Never one to hold grudges, Boycott can still remember the name of the chairman of selectors who dropped him for slow scoring after making an unbeaten 246 against India at Headingley in 1967. Stephen Fry adds to the fun after the interval with his thoughts on "the world's greatest pastime" - although he will not be appearing in future performances - but we are soon back to the star of the show, the one and only, and still going strong at the age of 72. Joe Root, the young England batsman who was punched in the face by Australia's David Warner late one Saturday night in a Birmingham bar, was "brainless." "He should not have put himself in that position," says Boycott. I would have been asleep in bed with my bat. Mike Brearley, the former England captain, was his favourite opening batsman because "he made me look brilliant." Ray Illingworth was the best captain he played under, but a poor manager for Yorkshire and England. Finally, his three favourite cricketers were, in reverse order, Ian Botham, the late David Bairstow and the fast bowler Graham Stephenson and if you want to know how Stephenson suffered a knee injury one Sunday afternoon you will have to go to the show yourself. I could not possibly repeat the story here.
