When he was discussing children, I kept thinking that he should adopt psb-freak.

That was Neil on air. Not Chris.

But it´d be great if Neil adopted me too. But his boyfriend isn´t that good looking so... Whatever...

*mystified by psb-freak's logic*

Radio 4 is making me homesick. I've got Just A Minute on now.

Definitely a Beatles track - Correct!
Dusty ("so tell me about working with her.....") - Correct!
Shannon - Let the music play - Right artist, wrong song so Half Correct!
A classical piece - Correct!
Grace Jones - Wrong!
David Bowie - Correct!

It's quite something that we know their tastes so well, isn't it.

LISTEN AGAIN
For rights reasons Desert Island Discs is not available as a listen again item.

Yep. I hadn't seen that beforehand.

Desert Island Discs will be repeated on Friday morning, so all is not lost. The BBC haven't updated the website yet, but presumably Neil's choices will appear there soon.

If memory serves, his eclectic choices were:

Rex Harrison (from the My Fair Lady soundtrack)
The Beatles - She Loves You
David Bowie - Changes
Shannon - Give Me Tonight
Dusty
Billie Holiday
Vaughan Williams
Shostakovich

Sorry - I can't remember the names of some of the songs/pieces.

They have already if you know where to look.

I should have got My Fair Lady too.

My Fair Lady is one of my favourite films ever - brilliant songs, excellent story and beautiful Audrey too (even if she doesn't sing on most of it). I always thought that they'd write a musical like that - perhaps if they write another one, they could use a play/myth as the foundation for the musical itself because the story is very important.

Don't suppose someone recorded it and....
