Desert Island Discs is a biographical and factual radio programme produced by Bob Symes.
It is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in the United Kingdom.
It was first broadcast on the BBC Home Service on 29 January 1942.
Each week a person (called a "castaway") is asked to choose eight pieces of music, a book and a luxury item that they would take if they were to be cast away on a desert island (an island that is not lived on by humans).
They discuss their lives and the reasons for their choices.
