Best ever Desert Island Discs?

[cliffdiver]

Just about to have a bath and want to listen to one of these.

Whats the best one you've listened to?

David Jason and George Michael are both favourites of mine.

Just listened to the David Nott one, what a lovely guy. Loved the story with the Queen.

yes, I'm a republican but hearing that story gave me a much more positive attitude to the queen.

That was him - awesome name as well!
At least they chose someone interest king for that milestone - when they had beckham I could have cried!

Fistbumps with crikeycrumbsblimey

I really enjoyed Mickey Flanagan and Russell Brand.

I listened to the David Nott DID after a recommendation on here, while I was driving to work. In tears, he was just so inspiring but gently matter of fact.

I also loved Jacqueline Gold and her drive to succeed, also when she talked about her son and her song choice for him. Cried on the train at that one!

In fact there are a few I’ve listened to where they’re bereaved parents, whether I’ve subconsciously sought them out as like minded or not, but the hosts are always very tactful and compassionate.

Noel gallagher and Russell brand were both great. Whether or not you’re arsed with either of them, they’re very entertaining.

Jimmy Carr surprised me too, PoliticalBiscuit

I hated the Michael Buble one. Cringeworthy - especially when he used his ‘luxury’ choice to promote the watch he’s brand ambassador for.
Kirstie cut him off sharpish

I'm so glad to see David Nott on here - he is a lovely man. I worked closely with him a few years ago. When he did the recording. He told me he was mortified to arrived looking dishevelled to find Kirsty looking Tippetty top and in fine form. It's a great one but you'll need tissues!

Dr Dorothy Rowe talking about depression was very interesting.

James Corden came across well.

What a great thread!

I really liked;
Mary Portas
Sue Perkins
Phillip Treacey
Tom Clerridge
Angela Hartnett
Naomi Klein
Jimmy Carr

Then there are people who I really wasn't a fan of until I listened to their espisodes...
Ed Sheeran
Davina McCall (Really interesting life)
Noel Gallagher

Loving the recommendations !

Over the past few days have downloaded some DID from the archive to listen to on my daily plod around the fields.
3 in that have surprised and moved me are
Johnny Vegas
Kathy Burke
Tony Adams

all 3 incredibly honest about their lives with great self awareness.
