Desert Island Discs (DID) is a radio program broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It was first broadcast on the BBC Forces Programme in January, 1942.
Each week a guest, called a ‘castaway’ is asked to choose eight recordings, a book, and a luxury item that they would take with them if they were stranded on a desert island.
