How to Survive on a Desert Island

How to Survive on a desert island with Dave's Desert island discs - If you knew you'd be castaway like Tom Hanks and were going to be stuck on a Desert Island Forever, What would you take with you? Desert Island Discs, the long running radio show poses this very question, but makes the decisions harder by restricting what you can take with you down to eight music recordings, a book and one luxury item. Will you take things to learn how to survive on a deserted island or simply items to keep you entertained. Watch the video to see what I chose and then let me know what you would take in the comments section below.

► About

Desert Island Discs is a radio programme broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It was first broadcast on the BBC Forces Programme on 29 January 1942. Each week a guest, called a 'castaway' during the programme, is asked to choose eight recordings (usually, but not always, music), a book and a luxury item that they would take if they were to be cast away on a desert island, whilst discussing their lives and the reasons for their choices. It was devised and originally presented by Roy Plomley. Since 2006, the programme has been presented by Kirsty Young. More than 3,000 episodes have been recorded, with some guests having appeared more than once and some episodes featuring more than one guest. An example of a guest who falls into both categories is Bob Monkhouse, who appeared with his co-writer Denis Goodwin on 12th December 1955 and in his own right on 20th December 1998.

► About Firefox

Firefox is a single player arcade laserdisc game based on the 1982 Clint Eastwood movie of the same name. It was produced by Atari, Inc. in 1984 and was Atari's only laserdisc game. Like Atari's previous first-person games Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back, Firefox came as both an upright and sit down cabinet, and featured a yoke style controller. To develop the laserdisc footage, two developers, Mike Hally and Moe Shore, sifted through miles of footage from the film, amounting to 20 to 30 hours' worth. Most of the resulting footage was first-person shots filmed from helicopters flying over Greenland and Scandinavia.
