I don't normally listen
to Desert Island Discs as I find
Kirsty Young’s line of questioning too intrusive, but I made an exception today
as the castaway was comedian, actor and jazzman Hugh Laurie. He talked about his career and his choice of
records included the Lester Young/Buddy Rich Trio playing I Cover The Waterfront; Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl; and a song by Sister Rosetta Tharpe - My Journey to the Sky. For his luxury he chose to have a set of throwing knives, which I found both amusing and worrying.
Listen to this for
yourself on the BBC iplayer, or catch the repeat on Friday morning at 9am on radio
4.
