Hello all. Maybe old news but I see radio 4 now have a searchable archive of desert island discs and DW is in there. As far as I can see it's only a list of his choices and not the actual broadcast.

Just to log it on the website in case the link ever disappears, DW was Roy Plomley's guest on Saturday 4th November 1972 and his choices were
1. Charles Coburn - The Man Who Broke The Bank At Monte Carlo
2. Chelsea Pensioners - Tipperary
3. Violet Loraine & George Robey - If You Were The Only Girl In The World
4. Elgar - Pomp & Circumstance March No. 1 in D Major 'Land of Hope and Glory'
5. Imre Kalman - The Merry Widow (Sadlers Wells Opera Company Orchestra)
6. Band of the Blues and Royals - Washington Post
7. Paris Opera Corus - Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle
8. Castaway's Favourite : Peggy Wood & George Metaxa - I'll See You Again
Book : Encyclopedia Britannica (I'd have got that wrong - I'd have guessed the complete works of Dumas !)
Luxury Item : Stamp Album
How about trying to locate all of these and playing them as one of the events at our October Convention ???
Many thanks again for finding this Ken - most grateful !
Best to everyone as always !
