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 . |

Company director David is almost a professional Castaway in that his work often takes him away to many far flung countries including South Africa , The United States and also india , where they will shortly be guests at a friends wedding ceremony which typically will take three days to reach its climax . A self confessed workaholic , David , 60 , has the following advice to impart : 'In business never be a No1 - be a No2 because of the reduced responsibility ! '
David and Judy visit los Gigantes as often as work commitments allow .
