Desert Island Discs Zusammenfassung

Desert Island Discs: Flotsam and Jetsam Mitchell Symons

"Flotsam and Jetsam" is the ultimate trivia book for fans of the popular BBC Radio 4 programme "Desert Island Discs", 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, figures and miscellany - including who chose what, and why. It also reveals much about the castaways' drives and motivations, their influences and, of course, their lives. Spanning the early years with the original presenter, Roy Plomley, and the present day, the "Desert Island Discs" programme has brought its own unique surprises to listeners, some very personal, some humorous, such as Eric Morecambe's choice of a deckchair as his luxury and Ernie Wise's of a deckchair ticket machine. From Beethoven to the Beatles, from chessboards and chocolate to Jane Austen and Zola, "Flotsam and Jetsam" is the perfect companion guide to the national treasure that is "Desert Island Discs".

Desert Island Discs Bewertungen

"This ultimate trivia book for fans of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs invites the reader to delve into a treasure trove of castaway anecdotes and amusing luxury items... Guaranteed to take readers on a magical journey through the last 70 years of music" Telegraph Books "Thoroughly researched, lively and lighthearted... an artifact - the kind you would take to a desert island" Big Issue "Mitchell Symons is the doyen of trivialists, who has been truffling out absurd facts ever since he wrote all the questions in Trivial Pursuit that weren't wrong. This book is exhaustive and slightly mad, and my life was appreciably poorer before I owned it. Outstanding" -- Marcus Berkmann The Spectator
