BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts.

Hello, I'm Lauren Levin, and this is the Desert Island Disks podcast.

For right reasons, the music is shorter than on the original broadcast.

The presenter is Roy Plomley.

I hope you enjoy listening.

For a cast away this week is a cricketer, captain of Yorkshire and opening bat for England,

it's Jeff Boycott.

Jeff, have you visited any Desert Islands on your travels?

Well, I visited one or two very nice islands in the West Indies, which seem nice to be

cast away on.

You've got your eye on one, though.

But one or two very definitely, how do you think you could face up to the prospect of

loneliness of that sort?

Well, I'm not one of these people who always need somebody to talk to.

I like a bit of quietness, and I suppose I get plenty on a Desert Island, and I like

to sit and think and do all kinds of things like that.

Are you interested in music?

Very much so.

When I'm playing cricketer, we have a lot of travelling up and down the country, and we often

have the radio on.

We like to listen to all kinds of music.

Do you sing or play an instrument?
