| Bryn Terfel | 20030921 | This week Sue Lawley's castaway is the Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel. Still only in his thirties he’s sung at the world’s biggest opera houses and can pick and choose where he works and the productions he wants to star in. He began singing in his first competitions at the age of three. Born into a farming family in the tiny village of Pentglas in North Wales which has only a handful of houses, one shop and one church. He was brought up singing at Chapel and regularly competed and won the National Eistedfodd cultural event. His first language was Welsh and as a young child he had to communicate with ENGLISH children camping on his parents land in the summer holidays with sign language. It was from those children he eventually learnt the language and by watching television. As a teenager he considered being a fireman or a policeman but he won a scholarship to the Guildhall in LONDON and the rest his history. Since then he’s performed and recorded all the great operatic works as well as a number of ‘cross over’ cds of hits from musicals and also an album in Welsh. | ||

| Martha Lane Fox | 20040104 | 20040109 | This week Sue Lawley's castaway is the dot-com millionaire and businesswoman Martha Lane Fox. She says that as a child she was confident and bossy - tormenting her younger brother and, in games of teachers and pupils, always marking him lower than her line of teddy bears. Her drive and ambition were recognised at school and college - her brother claims her nickname was "Fast Lane Foxy". After studying modern and classical history at OXFORD University she became a management consultant at a small company and met Brent Hoberman - whose brainchild lastminute.com was. Initially, Lane Fox rubbished the idea, but eventually Brent convinced her and she joined him, appropriately enough, at the last minute. The pair launched lastminute.com in 1998 - it started out as an on-line bucket shop - selling the holidays that small travel agents couldn't get rid of - and branched out into entertainment and gifts. On March 14, 2000, days before the markets peaked, lastminute.com was floated on the stock exchange - and over the following weeks prices collapsed. Martha Lane Fox became the face, the figurehead and eventually the fall-girl for the dot-com bubble. In November 2003, after lastminute.com announced a profit for the first time, Lane Fox announced she was resigning as managing director. [Rptd Fri, 9.00am] | |

| Sister Frances Dominica | 20040208 | 20040213 | This week Sue Lawley's castaway is a nun and a pioneer of the hospice movement. Sister FRANCEs Dominica says she had always felt she was born to be a nurse and as a child would line up her dolls and teddies in pretend hospital beds and tend to them. But a dramatic revelation during her early twenties diverted her and, to the horror of her family, she abandoned her career for a contemplative life. She took her life vows in 1972 and in 1977, at the incredibly young age of 34, was elected to be the mother superior of her community. The following year she met a family with a sick child and offered to give her respite care. It was that relationship which gave Sister FRANCEs the idea of starting a children's hospice and, in 1982, Helen House opened - it was the first children's hospice in the world.

| Sacha Distel | 20040215 | 20040220 | Sue Lawley's castaway is one of FRANCE's best known exports, the singer Sacha Distel. Born into a loving family in 1930s PARIS, Sacha's love of music was instilled in him at a young age by his mother. During the war years, Sacha was sent to a Catholic college in the French countryside while his father was in hiding and his mother was interned in a Nazi camp. After the war they were reunited but Sacha says that the experience has left him with a lasting sense of insecurity. Sacha was increasingly drawn to the guitar, encouraged by his uncle, the jazz band leader Ray Ventura. He soon demonstrated enormous talent for the instrument and played with the likes of Lionel Hampton, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis. However, it was his affair with, and subsequent engagement to, Brigitte Bardot that catapulted him to international fame. The liaison failed but he was to go on to become a household name both here and in FRANCE. Now about to turn 71, Sacha is still touring and has a new CD coming out. | |
| John Cale | 20040222 | 20040227 | Sue Lawley invites John Cale, the musician and founder of the Velvet Underground, to choose eight records to take to Radio 4's mythical desert island. John Cale was brought up in a strict South Wales household. But from a young age he was determined to increase his cultural influences - he would stay awake through the night, covertly listening to modern composers on the third service and on Radio Moscow and he would send away for contemporary music scores from the LONDON music libraries. He went on to have viola lessons at the Royal Academy of Music while also studying music at Goldsmiths' Teacher Training College in LONDON. He was talent spotted by Aaron Copland and awarded a musical scholarship to study in America, where he was part of the contemporary avant-garde music scene there - working with John Cage and LaMonte Young, until he met Lou Reed and the two formed Velvet Underground. They were almost immediately adopted by Andy Warhol and effectively became a house band at the Factory. The group then became one of the most important musical influences of the 1960s. | |
| Judith Kerr | 20040229 | 20040305 | This week Sue's castaway is writer and illustrator Judith Kerr known to generations of children both for her charming Mog picture books and for her careful rendering of the life of a Jewish child fleeing Nazi Germany. Judith Kerr escaped with her family on the day the Nazis were elected. The following day police turned up at the doorstep in a belated attempt confiscate their passports. The Kerr family moved across Europe trying to support themselves and escape from the nearing threat until they eventually settled in ENGLAND in 1936. The family stayed in LONDON throughout the war surviving the Blitz and in fear of invasion. Judith Kerr wrote an autobiographical trilogy about her experiences and the books, in particular When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, have been used ever since as a way of explaining to children the horrors of the Nazi threat - today they are set texts in many Germany schools. She was always a keen painter but had never thought it could be a career. It was only when she had two children who enjoyed the tales she told that she decided to try her hand at picture books. Her first book The Tiger Who Came to Tea was instantly successful when it was published in 1968 and has never been out of print. But it is probably her series of books about Mog the cat that have won her most affection with children. Over the past thirty years they have sold more than three million copies.

| Sir Gulam Noon | 20040307 | 20040312 | As a boy, growing up in Bombay, it was cricket that was Sir Gulam Noon's obsession. But after his father's death when he was still a child, his family became increasingly concerned about the precarious financial state of their two sweet shops. Gulam started working in them as a teenager and showed a keen entrepreneurial flair. By his mid-20s, the shops were secure and his family well-off and he was determined to try to recreate his success in the UK. He started out making and selling INDIAn sweets, but as curry houses became more popular, saw a new market for authentic INDIAn food on the supermarket shelves. He now runs Europe's largest curry factory and sells hundreds of thousands of ready meals each day. With chicken tikka massala now established as the national dish, it's no surprise to learn that it's his biggest seller too. Hear his Desert Island Discs with Sue Lawley. | |
| bill Nighy | 20040314 | 20040319 | Sue Lawley's castaway is the award winning actor Bill Nighy. Originally from Caterham in Surrey, Bill Nighy left school at fifteen without any qualifications and ended up working at his local employment office. He hoped to become an author and began work on 'The Field' magazine as a messenger boy but then ran way to PARIS at seventeen to write a novel. This venture failed and he ended up begging on the streets before returning to Britain and the Guildford School of Drama and Dance. His first film role was as a delivery boy in Joan Collins' steamy film The Bitch, he's featured in numerous stage, TV, and radio dramas including the acclaimed Men's Room in 1991 and more recently in State of Play where he played a newspaper editor. His career has been described by some critics as a slow burn rather than a beacon although he's now widely recognised as achieving the acclaim he deserves. In February he won Best Supporting Actor at the Baftas for his role as Billy Mack - a washed up singer in the film Love Actually. | |

| Michael Howard | 20040704 | 20040709 | Sue Lawley talks to the Leader of the Opposition Michael Howard. He chooses eight records to take to Radio 4's mythical desert island. He was raised in an orthodox Jewish family in Llanelli, South Wales, where his parents ran ladies’ fashion shops. In the Labour supporting, rugby playing valleys, the teenage Michael preferred football and his leanings were towards the Conservatives. He propelled himself to Peterhouse College, Cambridge – and was part of the Cambridge MAFIA that included Kenneth Clarke, Leon Brittan, Norman Lamont and Norman Fowler. But while his contemporaries all entered parliament within a few years of graduating, Michael Howard’s journey to Westminster took considerably longer. He first stood as a Conservative candidate in 1966 when he was just 24 years old. He tried again, unsuccessfully, in 1970, but it was not until 1983 – after putting his name forward for dozens of safe seats – that he was chosen as the party’s candidate for Folkestone and Hythe and secured a seat in the House of Commons. He says that by the time he was successful, he wondered whether he was too old to make his mark there. But he rose quickly through the ministerial ranks and had secured a place in cabinet before he was 50. He was John Major’s Home Secretary for four years – a controversial period that culminated in his former deputy, Ann Widdecombe, saying there was ‘something of the night’ in his personality. When he stood to be leader of the party in 1997 he came fifth out of five candidates. But eight months ago he was elected, unopposed, the new leader of the party. He told Sue Lawley: 'I was astonished. It was not something I ever thought would happen and if we'd been sitting here a year ago and you'd told me that I'd be sitting here today as leader of the Conservative Party, I have said that you were prone to fantasies' 1.

| Tracey Emin | 20041128 | 20041203 | is one of the most successful and controversial artists to emerge during the 1990s, her work was championed early on by influential art dealer Jay Jopling and later by the collector Charles Saatchi. Her work is highly autobiographical and confessional - she is a talented drawer and painter, but has attracted the most attention for her art installations - including her tent, Everyone I have ever slept with and the Turner Prize-nominated My Bed. Her art is adored and condemned in equal measure - but wherever she exhibits she attracts queues and has a room at Tate Britain dedicated to her work. She was brought up in Margate and she has recently finished a film, Top Spot, which reflects her own experiences. 1.Riding for a Fall Performer John Holt Composer Townsend/Waller CD Title Pledging my Love Track LP side 1 Label Trojan Rec No: TBL 184 2.Good Vibrations Performer Beach Boys Composer Mike Love, Brian Wilson Publisher Capitol records CD Title Hits of 1966 Track 9 Label Premier Rec No:CDGH 1966 3.I feel Love Performer Donna Summer Composer D Summer/G Moroder/P Bell Publisher Casablanca Records CD Title Classic Donna Summer Track CD2 trk 3 Label Mercury Rec No:542 228-2 4.Should I stay or should I go Performer The Clash Composer The Clash CD Title Now 19 Track Cd1 trk 1 Label NOW Rec No:CDNOW 19 5.Chirpie Chirpie Cheep Cheep Performer Middle of the Road Composer Stott Publisher CMC Records CD Title Very Best of Middle of the Road Track 1 Label Disky Rec No:51 646802 6.Burning Love Performer Elvis Presley Composer Dennis Linde Publisher EMI Blackwood Music CD Title A Life in Music Track 10 Label RCA Rec No:74321 49286 2 7.Now that I've Found Love Performer Third World Composer Gamble/Huff Publisher Charly CD Title Now that We Found Love Track 11 Label Charly Rec No: Snap 178cd 8.Young Americans Performer David Bowie Composer David Bowie Publisher Jones Music CD Title Best of David Bowie Track 15 Label EMI Rec No:5398212 Record: Young Americans Book Spinoza: Ethics by G H R Parkinson Luxury: A pen which would never run out. | |

| Yvonne Brewster | 20050327 | 20050401 | Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the theatre director Yvonne Brewster. She has been a major force in black British theatre for the last twenty years. Born into a wealthy family in Jamaica, Yvonne rebelled against her parents’ plans for her – marriage and children – to become a theatrical pioneer. She says she was the first black drama student in Britain - but when she enrolled, her drama school’s principal told her that, as a black actress, she would never get work here -- she went on to become the first black woman to direct at the National Theatre. Throughout her career Yvonne has been an outspoken proponent of black theatre. In 1986 she founded the theatre company Talawa, whose name in Jamaican dialect means tough or feisty. Talawa gained attention - and audiences - by putting on productions such as an all-black Importance of Being Earnest. 1.

| Conductor Lorin Maazel | 20050403 | 20050408 | Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the musical director of the NEW YORK Philharmonic Orchestra Lorin Maazel. He was a child prodigy whose career as a conductor has survived - and thrived-beyond his early precocity. His musical talent became apparent at the age of 5, when he began playing the violin while at 7 he was discovered conducting a piece by Haydn playing on his parents' record player. He was the first American and youngest conductor, at the age of 30 , to conduct Lohengrin at Bayreuth. After a career which has included prestigious posts at the Vienna State Opera, and the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestras, he is currently Musical Director of the NEW YORK Philharmonic. In May this year Lorin Maazel's first opera, an adaption of George Orwell's 1984, will he performed at the Royal Opera House in LONDON. 1.

| High Wire Walker Philippe Petit | 20050410 | 20050415 | Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the high wire walker Philippe Petit. Since the age of seventeen Petit had been, in his own words, a 'wandering troubador', making a living by doing magic in the salons of PARIS. Notre Dame became the site of Petit's first illegal wirewalk, on 6th June 1971. On 7th August 1974 Philippe Petit committed ‘the artistic crime of the century’ when he put a rope between the towers of the World Trade Centre in NEW YORK and spent nearly an hour walking back and forth across it, pausing to kneel and lie down on the wire. He brought much of Manhattan, a quarter of a mile below him, to a standstill, and succeeded in pushing Richard Nixon’s resignation off the front pages of the newspapers the following day. Since walking between the twin towers Petit has done wire-walks all over the world including Tokyo and Jerusalem. He has, uniquely, devised plays to be performed on the high wire and has also become artist in residence at the cathedral of St John the Divine in NEW YORK, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world. 1.
