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 . |

| What special significance does track No1 hold for you ? |
| This is the the favourite song of mine and my best friend . We sing it together all the time ! |
| |
| Which work of literature would you take to your desert island ? |
"Origin Of The Species " by Charles Darwin . Contrary to the popular and incorrect belief of many , this is a fabulous book and it would also help me to categorise the fauna on my desert island . |
| |
| Which magazine subscription would you take out ? |
"OK " would keep me up to date with current gossip . |
| |
| What luxury item would be indispensable to you ? |
I would take my blanket because I have had it since I was born . |
| |
| What first brought you to Los Gigantes ? What special appeal does it hold for you ? |
We have family members who live in Los Gigantes and so I have been here many times before on holiday . I have also been to Las Americas , but I did not like it there .
