The most popular desert island in the world is not some South Sea idyll with crystal-blue water lapping a sandy beach fringed by palms. . . but a basement radio studio in London's West End.Sue Lawley,the mistress of Desert Island Discs,is only its third presenter in nearly 50 years and 2,000 programmes,succeeding Michael Parkinson and the programme's founder and custodian for more than 40 years,the late Roy Plomley.
In a revealing introduction,Sue Lawley, gets to the heart of Desert Island Discs' success: 'Music alone [she writes] cannot make the desert island habitable or attractive: it is people's thoughts and observations related to their music which do that.'
In her DESERT ISLAND DISCUSSIONS,Sue Lawley selects 20 of her 100 castaways and gives us a glimpse behind the scenes - how they approached the programme,the moments that moved them and the revelations about their lives.The result is a series of unique and absorbing interviews with: Enoch Powell, Joan Collins, Stephen Fry, Robert Runcie, Eric Clapton, John Ogdon, Leslie Grantham, Arthur Scargill, Sir Stephen Spender, Sir Claus Moser, The Duchess of Kent, Gerald Scarfe, Joan Armatrading, A.Wainwright, Lucinda Lambton, Lord Hailsham, Thora Hird, Jeffrey Tate, Neil Kinnock and Dame Edna Everage.
At the close of every interview Sue Lawley gives each castaway's choice of records,book and luxury.
And as a bonus,here too are the complete choices of all her castaways in the first two years she has presented the classic BBC radio programme,as it speeds towards its golden jubilee.
