Flotsam andamp; Jetsam is the ultimate trivia book for fans of the popular Desert Island Discs radio programme, and a fascinating introduction for all those who have yet to discover its delights. Taking the reader through seven decades of wonderful entertainment, here is an absorbing range of facts and figures, stats and miscellany u including who chose what, and why. It also reveals much about the castaways' drives and motivations, their influences and, of course, their dreams. Spanning the early years with the original presenter, Roy Plomley, and the present day, the Desert Island Discs story shows how each decade has brought its own unique surprises u some humorous, such as Eric Morecambe's choice of a deckchair as his luxury and Ernie Wise's of a deckchair ticket machine u and some very personal, such as Neil Kinnock's request for a recording of his two-year-old daughter singing 'Horace The Horse'. From Beethoven to the Beatles, from chessboards and chocolate to Jane Austen and Zola, Flotsam andamp; Jetsam is the perfect companion guide to BBC Radio 4's iconic Desert Island Discs.
