Right! Dawn French next time. Thx.

I was listening in the car, she has such an infectious laugh

Margaret - I think it's great, makes the chore a lot more enjoyable. I just go onto the Website click on whoever I fancy listening to and move my ironing board into the computer room. I listened to Dawn French's the other day - lovely.

katyK exactly! I have to go on my exercise bike every other day and boredom was always a challenge. Since I have downloaded the Desert Island Discs Archive onto an old lap top (bought on e-bay)I really enjoy listening and manage to forget I'm peddling for the 15 mins I have to do it.

yes very strange for a Londoner of her generation. Enjoyed the bit I caught in the car.

Agree about'hubby',but better than 'other half' IMO.

Reminds me of someone........

It was good, but really wish she hadn't kept using the word "Hubby"!

I sometimes go on the Desert Island Discs website and listen to the 'back' ones whilst I am doing ironing or other mundane tasks. You can pick one out from years back as well as recent and listen. It's lovely. I will listen to this one.

I listened to this as well and it was one of the best Desert Islands Discs I've heard for a long time. She was so full of life and humour, and not at all pretentious.
