Eight tracks. Endless stories.
Allow yourself to be cast away in eight glorious decades of the most
iconic show on radio. To mark this momentous occasion, The Definitive
Desert Island Discs focuses on 80 of the most powerful and unforgettable
interviews, revisiting every era of Desert Island Disc's storied
history.
Reflecting on how times have changed, the book will feature brand new
material as castaways are interviewed about their experiences - did the
conversation go how they expected? Would Sir Patrick Stewart still take
his beloved billiards table (and a shed to keep it in, of course)? And
does Hilary Devey stick by her endless supply of Cointreau?
Get lost in lists of the weirdest and most wonderful luxury items, most
popular tracks and books throughout the years, and more. Introduced by
Lauren Laverne, The Definitive Desert Island Discs is a must-have gem,
celebrating an incredible institution that has captured the hearts of a
nation for 80 years.
