DESERT ISLAND DISCS is a long running BBC Radio 4 programme. It was first broadcast on January 29th 1942 and is said by the Guinness Book of Records to be the longest running music programme in the history of radio.
Guests are asked to choose the eight pieces of music they would take with them to a desert island, discussion of their choices permitting a review of their life. They also choose one book (excluding the Bible and the works of Shakespeare which are already deemed present on the island) and one luxury item which must be inanimate and have no practical use. |

While not quite a Desert Island , Tenerife does lay claim to having many castaways from the UK . In this feature we put the Desert Island Discs theme to those who have made Los Gigantes their home , frequent returning visitors and also those people who have come to Los Gigantes for the first time .
In the Los Gigantes version of Desert Island Discs , Castaways choose their all time top ten favourite music recordings on CD , one choice from the world of literature , a magazine subscription - delivered by message in a bottle post - and one luxury item they could not envisage living without . |

| Nightshift reminds me of Los Gigantes and I feel close to the village even when back in Glasgow . |

The full collection of "Topsy and Tim". No matter how old you are you have got to love them . And Andy Pandy . |

If I could choose a newspaper instead I would have The Tenerife Sun . You are always guaranteed a laugh at what the Los Gigs Gang are up to ! |

My mobile with internet connection and camera included . That way I could keep everyone up to date with my mischief . |

I came in the Summer time in between my first and second years at uni to work for four months in a restaurant in the marina of Los Gigantes which is my second home thanks to my good friends Gail and Steve , and also the girls at the Bamboo Bar .
