Hello I'm Krestey 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 1992,

and the presenter was Sue Lolly. My castaway this week is an entrepreneur, newspaper man and public servant. He's now 60.

During his lifetime, he's revitalised Queen magazine, launched Radio Caroline, saved the evening standard and served as managing director of

Express newspapers. At the moment he's deputy chairman of the Independent

Television Commission and rector of the Royal College of Art.

That he's done so much is due to two things, his great wealth and his enormous energy.

He works in London but spends his weekends in Gersh start.

Flamboyant and glamorous, he epitomises the jet set.

Hard-working and anxious to do a worthwhile job, he's looking forward to taking over as chairman of

English heritage later this year. He is Jocelyn Stevens.

There's only one question to ask Jocelyn after an introduction like that which is,

aren't you exhausted? I mean, how have you managed to pack so much in?

Well, I never felt better.

This is the extraordinary thing I've always long to be old.

I don't know why.

And now I'm 60.

I really feel terribly well and very energetic.

Is there a downside to that kind of boundless energy?

I mean, are you a man who's easily bored?

Now I've never been bored.
