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

For Wright's reasons, we've had to shorten the music.

The program was originally broadcast in 1982, and the presenter was Roy Plumlee. This week our cast away is the actress Jenny Agator. Jenny how important is music in your life?

Very. I think one of the first things I do on arrival anywhere is to make sure that I have a fairly good sound system in the house

because I don't feel settled really without that and then I carry around cassettes and things

with me. I enjoy listening to it because I find it very relaxing.

Different types of music I enjoy and

it's just a way of relaxing and feeling out of different mood you know.

Have you any musical skill yourself?

Do you play the piano?

No, I learnt, I think as everybody sort of does at school the guitar and I can do about three chords and sing very simple songs.

Like blowing in the wind and Michael Rowe the boat ashore and things like that.

Have you a young profession?

No. At home I was very much put off singing by being told when I used to sing in the shower, please shut up.

Oh no.

Are you an only child?

Who was telling you to shut up?

My brother and my... Oh yes, of course.

Now you're very well travelled. Have your travels included any desert islands?

Islands, yes, but not really Desert Islands.

Now I lived on Cyprus for quite a long time, which is a very large island.

Yes, I don't think that counts.
