Desert Island Discs is a BBC Radio 4 programme first broadcast on 29 January 1942. It is one of the longest-running radio programmes in the world.

Each week a famous guest ("castaway") is asked to choose eight pieces of music, a book (in addition to the Bible) and a luxury item for their imaginary stay on the island, while discussing their lives and the reasons for their choices.

My 8 pieces of music to bring to a desert island:

• Madrugada - Electric
• R.E.M. - Nightswimming
• Foo Fighers - Everlong
• Queen - Don't stop me now
• Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's blues
• The Source feat. Candi Station - You've got the love
• Kleerup feat. Robyn - With every heartbeat
• De Lillos - Nittenåttifire

My book of choice:

Lars Saabye Christensen - Beatles

My luxury item:

A life supply of nasal spray
