Today

Available for over a year

Comedian Rory Bremner remembers commentator Richie Benaud who died aged 84. Bremner recalled being asked by Brian Johnston to do an impression of Richie Benaud during a Test Match Special interview when he felt a tap on his shoulder and looked round to see Benaud standing there. "That's very good but what about the royalties," Benaud told him. Bremner recalls some of Benaud's great phrases "got him" and "no need to chase that".
