I'm not sure I'd suggest the Johnny Vegas one for year 8s given quite some of it is spent talking about his suspicions re there being child abuse going on when he was at seminary in his early teens

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
Ah yes, point taken.I'm not sure I'd suggest the Johnny Vegas one for year 8s given quite some of it is spent talking about his suspicions re there being child abuse going on when he was at seminary in his early teens
And then there's the sex and drug addiction for Brand.
So, that only leaves Ant and Dec then I suppose

Think it was Peregrine Worsthorne who took as his luxury an unlimited supply of LSD.

Yeah I did. It was one of those where I kept expecting him to start being interesting but he never quite managed it.

BBC’s Kirsty Young: ‘Tom Jones must be a killer in the sack’
Desert Island Discs host says singer is one of her favourite castaways – and she regrets not having Joan Rivers on show
Desert Island Discs presenter Kirsty Young has revealed she would take a Tom Jones song with her to a desert island because he “pulsated sexuality” and was one of her favourite castaways. Young gave a frank assessment of the 74 year-old Welsh singer’s appeal: “I can only imagine he is a killer in the sack.”

A very enjoyable (for me) edition of the programme this morning with a delightful guest (Roger Graef)
He chose the wondrous Pearl Fisher's Duet by Jussi Björling & Robert Merrill as one of his choices to take with him on his desert island.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
For a really interesting and exciting life for the year eights you couldn't do more than the 3000th episode with Eric 'Winkle' Brown.

"The Fleet Air Arm's most decorated pilot, his life reads like a handbook in beating the odds.
Landing on a flight deck is acknowledged as one of the most difficult things a pilot can do. Eric Brown has held the world record for the most flight deck landings - 2,407 - for over 65 years. He was one of only two men on his ship, HMS Audacity, to survive a German U-boat bombing.
In a long and remarkable life he has witnessed first-hand momentous events in world history, from the Berlin Olympics in 1936 to the liberation of the Belsen concentration camp."

Kylie is 47? Christ, I'm old.
It's a wonderful show. Will give Kylie's a whirl... I imagine she would have good 'girly' taste like Abba, Blondie and stuff like that. i loved Tracy Emins one. And Roger Waters and Dave Gilmours of course...Noel Gallaghers is up on youtube. He is a real joy to listen to when he speaks, always cheers me up!

Monstrous though she may be, I found the Julie Burchill one among the most compelling. You can't fault her for not being honest about her own failings. Debbie Harry is the godess you always knew her to be. Kathy Burke emerges as the greatest human being ever. The way she shoots down the notion that we all need to be in a relationship to be happy was just brilliant.
I can't listen to the ones with Sue Lawley, she was such a horrible choice for the series. Small minded, judgemental and always poorly researched.
