 List of Desert Island Discs episodes (2011–present)

The BBC Radio 4 programme "Desert Island Discs" invites castaways to choose eight pieces of music, a book (in addition to the Bible – or a religious text appropriate to that person's beliefs – and the "Complete Works of Shakespeare") and a luxury item that they would take to an imaginary desert island, where they will be marooned indefinitely.The rules state that the chosen luxury item must not be anything animate or indeed anything that enables the castaway to escape from the island, for instance a radio set, sailing yacht or aeroplane.
