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. Our castaway this week is a popular radio one disc jockey. He's also moved on to

higher things as proprietor of television's multi-colored swap shop and similar

enterprises. It's Noel Edmonds. Now after all those thousands of discs that you played you're

going to get eight and no more what do you feel about that? I think it's very measly.

It's typical of Radio 4. How do you feel about a desert island?

Could you take it?

The solitude would be very difficult.

Very difficult.

What would you be happiest to got away from?

London, I think. I used to. London I think.

I used to like London very much and I don't like it at all now and it hurts when I have to come

to London.

Although I obviously enjoy the reasons that I come, but I've moved out to Buckinghamshire and it's so

lovely in the countryside. What's the first desk of Jasmine? It's a piece of

music which would help me to remember the countryside which I like. I used to have a house in Suffolk and I

used to play this a lot, particularly when we could see them doing the harvesting, whatever,

from the back of the cottage.

We had a particularly delightful view of a part of the countryside which actually rolls.

And it's Vaughan Williams, and it's the Pastoral Symphony, and I think it's quite delightful. Oh, The Oh, The over The opening of the Vaughan Williams Third Symphony, the Pastoral Symphony, Andre Previn, conducting the London

Symphony Orchestra, to remind you of Rolling Suffolk.
