R4 - Desert I sland Discs with Shami.

[noolia]

She is my hero.

I had no idea she had a child and husband! Always assumed she was far to busy and serious.

It was great wasn't it? I cried when they played the Nina Simone & sang along to Cyndi Lauper (much to the disgust of my dd )

brilliant desert island. She sounded so lovely and charming (as well as super brainy). I welled up a bit at the Nina Simone.

Yes, thought she sounded impressive and lovely all at once.

There's a really nasty article in the Times2 today about her on the programme. He finds her very dull.

Anyone else think DID beats TV celeb interviews (mentioning no suspended names) hollow?
