Desert Island discs and favourite characters
I don't know if anyone reading here remembers the radio programme "Desert Island discs"? Notable people were interviewed about their life and this was interspersed with their 7 choices of gramophone records to take to a deserted island on which they would be marooned for a long time. They were also allowed to choose a luxury item, that had to be inanimate and of no use whatsoever ever in communication or escape and a book, apart from a Bible and Complete Works of Shakespere.
The Swallows, Amazons and Ds, the Marlows, many Chalet School characters, many Wimseyverse characters would be the right age to be interviewed by Roy Plomley in this manner.
Who would be interviewed? When? What records do you think they might choose? What luxury? What book? Any snippets from the interview?
My suggestions of interviewees
Rear Admiral John Walker
Peggy Brading - as a senior person in the girl guide movement
Illustrator and writer Tertia Callum
Professor Richard Callum
Writer Dorothea Callum
Actress Lawrence Marlow
Round-the-world yachtswoman Nicola Marlow
Writer Josephine Bettany
Entrepreneur Lady Russell
Any others? Any other fictional series that has characters that should be interviewed?
