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 Plumley. On a desert island this week we've Marooned the actress and comedian Pamela Stevenson.

Pamela, are you a gregarious girl? Could you endure loneliness?

I think so. I spend a lot of time when I'm at home just being sort of solitary because I I like that it's very relaxing somehow

What would you be happiest to have got away from? Well, I know that on my desert island I wouldn't

wake up in the morning and pick up some newspaper and read a shock horror

heading you know TV Pammin sex orgy with Siamese twins. They've never said that about you. Well they say very similar

things.

Now you got eight discs that may have to last the rest of your life. Was that hard to choose?

I'm just too young to do this program I I thought that when we asked you but we took

a chance what's the first one on the list may west I love may west because she's so

outrageous and for her time was extremely shocking and

everyone got terribly upset about her and they jailed her for writing her own

play sex which apparently was as dirty as hell and and still would be I suppose today but she

she laughed at herself she was laughing at the whole business of sex and and being a

sex symbol she never took herself seriously I think I think she was wonderful

this is love is the greatest thing you

cry for it you sigh for it in good King Arthur's time they used to die for it but when you get it do you regret it well some girls do you regret it well some

girls do but not me it's often stated, overrated, a pleasure that grows tired once he's educated.

It may be risky when it gets too frisky

May West love is the greatest thing
