Your favourite episodes of Desert Island Discs.

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

Are there any episodes of Desert Island Discs that have stood out to you? I always mean to start on it properly but get caught up in looking for people I know well when there are probably golden episodes buried in there that I'd never checked.

I liked Colm Tóibín's and Kazuo Ishiguro's. And Kylie's was nice.

I think my all time favourite episode is Betty Driver from 2011.

Do you know I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a single episode.

unless you count Edina Monsoon...
