==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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/annathompson/2009/08/lily_brings_a_smile_to_tms.html|title=Lily brings a smile to TMS|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090826162102/http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/annathompson/2009/08/lily_brings_a_smile_to_tms.html|archive-date=26 August 2009}}</ref> [[Daniel Radcliffe]] was interviewed on his 18th birthday at the Lord's Test in 2007 after being hunted down by Shilpa Patel, ''TMS'''s assistant producer.
