Hello I'm Krusty Young and this is a podcast from the Desert Island Discs archive.

For rights reasons we've had to shorten the music.

The program was originally broadcast in 1978 and the presenter was Roy Plumlee. On our Desert Island this week is the actress Felicity Kendall.

Felicity, are you musically inclined?

What a leading question. I don't know. I love music.

Do you play an instrument?

No, I don't. I have have a guitar but I have not yet learnt

to play because my fingers don't reach round but I think that's because I can't do it.

Do you play discs? Yes I do.

Have not? In the evening yes I do I Yes. In the evening, yes I do.

I've tended to more recently in the last couple of years when I'm working I do in the evening.

I don't put the telly on, I put a record on.

What was your plan for choosing your eight? Are you choosing

nostalgicly or great music or what? Well that my plan was simply to go through the records

that I have and to take the records that I play most often not necessarily the greatest

things and the things that I would put on of an evening. What's the first one?

The first one a concerto for Obo by Marcello. The The Oh, The Heinz Holliger playing Alessandro Marcello's concerto for oboe strings in

d minor. Why did you choose that one? Oh because it's romantic I suppose in a way and I never get tired of it and it's very moving I find it very moving I like that

Well now for the Kendall story where were you born?

I was born in Solil and you come from a theatrical family.

Yes I do my parents have both my father's I think one of the last actor managers in the world and he had a theatre company and went out to India with Ensa during the war and went out again afterwards with another company because he loved it so much and I was with them when they

went out after the war.
