Desert Island Discs

Zusammenfassung

' I love its homeliness. It conjures up the best in traditional British pleasure, like the great British breakfast. It's an honour to be asked ' (PAUL MCCARTNEY ) For the past 40 years everyone who is anyone has been cast adrift and washed up on a desert island. The great and the famous, from Princess Margaret to Henry Cooper , from Arthur Rubinstein to Noel Coward , have faced up to the agonising task of choosing the eight records, one book and one luxury with which to live alone. This week Arena celebrates Roy Plomley 's unique fantasy island with the help of the following castaways: Paul McCartney , Frankie Howerd Russell Harty , Trevor Brooking, The Lord Mayor of London Professor J. K. Galbraith and Arthur Askey who first appeared on the programme in 1942.
