James Tidd’s Reviews > Desert Island Discs: 70 Years of Castaways > Status Update

It is a very interesting book thus far. So far the authors have covered the 1940s where celebrities such as Vic Oliver, the first-ever castaway who chose Chopin's Etude in C minor as the first-ever piece of music. The 1950s guests include Joyce Grenfell, George Formby and the host Roy Plomley, interviewed by future This is Your Life host Eamonn Andrews.
