Desert Island Discs

For friends & family

About

This site is an homage to the long-running BBC radio show ‘Desert Island Discs’. This is a chance for us non-famous people to share our choices.


The format is simple – a guest is invited to choose eight discs, a book and a luxury to take with them as they’re castaway on a mythical desert island.

They’re given, should they choose to accept them, the complete works of Shakespeare and the Bible.

During the interview they explain their choices and discuss key moments in their lives, people and events that have influenced and inspired them and brought them to where they are today.

They’re also asked which single track would they ‘save from the waves’.
