Talk:List of Desert Island Discs episodes

Untitled
I'd like to point out that this page completely misses the point&mdash;where is the music? the discs? sureley that is what the show is about?… —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.162.96 (talk) 23:30, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

? split page into years
Would it be useful to split the page into episodes within a year or years? Snowman (talk) 10:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it probably would - the page is getting far too long. Cavie78 (talk) 10:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Some of the recent years could be made up to the complete sequence of episodes. One page could be "episodes prior to 2002" until the listing is more complete. Snowman (talk) 11:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * What are we going to go with title wise then? 'List of Desert Island Discs 2009 episodes' or something? Cavie78 (talk) 16:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Programme dated 4 June 2005
I don't believe there was an episode of Desert Island Discs broadcsat on 4 June 2005. It was a Saturday and the usual days of transmission are Sundays and Fridays.86.132.205.78 (talk) 17:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

This repeat broadcast should appear in the list for 2004, because it was transmitted as a tribute to Jack Rosenthal, who had died a few days earlier.86.132.205.78 (talk) 17:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * According to the date in the link it was 2005 but the text suggests 2004. Perhaps it was repeated twice? Cavie78 (talk) 16:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

It WASN'T repeated twice! Besides 4 June 2005 was a Saturday and Desert Island Discs is only ever broadcast (now) on Sundays and Fridays!86.132.205.78 (talk) 03:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

The 4 June 2004 was a Friday and the Jack Rosenthal repeat broadcast that day took the place of that week's repeat (Geraldine James).86.132.205.78 (talk) 03:07, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Programme dated 25 May 2007
Th programme listed for 25 May 2007 with Howard Goodall as its castaway was actually transmitted on 25 May 2008.86.132.205.78 (talk) 17:44, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Repeats of programmes as tributes to recently dead castaways
This is extremely rare on Desert Island Discs. The only two occasions in recent years when it has happened has been for Humphrey Lyttelton (as mentioned - in 2008) and Jack Rosenthal (in 2004, NOT 2005!).86.132.205.78 (talk) 17:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Programme aired on 27 January 2008
There was a repeat broadcast of (Lady) Natasha Spender's choice of music aired on 27 January 2008.86.132.205.78 (talk) 18:20, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Errors in list
Why don't you correct the errors pointed out (see above)??!!

I have already deleted the (incorrect) entry for 4 June 2005. This should appear in the 2004 list under the same date!86.133.161.182 (talk) 00:11, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Titles for castaways
Would it not be appropriate to give titled castaways their full names in the list. (i.e DAME Ellen Macarthur, PROFESSOR Colin Pillinger, LADY Natasha Spender, etc etc)86.133.161.182 (talk) 00:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
