Based on the fairly popular Radio 4 programme, if you were a castaway on a desert island what would you want with you?

The rules:

  • 8 pieces of music (indicate your favourite piece too)
  • 1 book (you already have the complete works of Shakespeare and a religious book of your choice e.g. The Bible).
  • 1 inanimate object

Good luck.
 

1. Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
2. The Who - Baba O'Reily (Castway's favourite)
3. Stone Roses - Fools Gold
4. Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl
5. The Stokes - Someday
6. Cavalleria rusticana - Intermezzo
7. Andrea Bocelli - Time to say goodbye
8. The Farm - All Together Now Everton F.C

Book: The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
Inanimate object - A toothbrush and an unlimited supply of toothpaste.
