Desert Island Discs - Kirsty Ill -

Post by ToRmAtO »

My favourite radio show ever.

Kirsty Young is to take a number of months off Desert Island Discs because she has fibromyalgia, and Lauren Laverne is to fill in for her.

Desert Island Discs returns to BBC Radio 4 on 16 September and Young will host the first two episodes with castaways opera singer Danielle de Niese and neurosurgeon Henry Marsh. Laverne will host the third episode onwards. Four presenters have hosted the show since it started in 1942.

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body and can bring on severe fatigue. Lady Gaga also has the condition. :(

Shame
Kirsty Young is a gem, intelligent, sexy and beautiful voice

Can she take over Chris Evans’s slot on the Radio 2 breakfast show when she returns? I like Kirsty. Intelligent, good looking and sincere. Rare traits on national BBC radio which is sadly becoming crammed with idiots.

How’s Roy Plomley’s health these days? I remember when he did the show in the 1980s.

Oh terrible. He died again last week. The BBC dug up his corpse but sadly the Plomley comeback series didn't work out.

Dougie won’t let that one go. He’s up for compulsory castration and garrotting for anyone in Gateshead claiming Geordiedom.
