Desert Island Discs Sandbox Edition

about 8 years

Desert Island Discs is a radio programme broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It was first broadcast on the BBC Forces Programme on 29th of January 1942.

Each week a guest, called a 'castaway' during the programme, is asked to choose eight recordings (usually, but not always, music), a book and a luxury item that they would take if they were to be cast away on a desert island.


In this thread, discuss what your choices for Desert Island Discs would be.

Please include:

  • 8 songs (or other single recordings)
  • 1 book*
  • 1 luxury item*

*nothing that would help you escape the island.
