Test Match Special
Chocolate cakes were a famous addition to the Test Match Special commentary box during Brian Johnston's day. Ray Illingworth was reportedly a big fan, "always being good for one" reported Brian, if more than one cake was sent in by the public, as frequently happened. Since Brian's departure, the Test Match Special team still receives cakes, although the current variety is fruit cake.
