Surely the point of the programme is that it is not necessarily your favourite records but rather the ones that are most evocative of particular people and times that you would want to recall on a Desert Island? At its best, that then gives a peg to hang an interview which illuminates those parts of a persons life that the music represents. Whether the interviewer did that is a moot point but the choice of records cannot be criticised. There's some pretty average, even rubbish music which takes me back to some very happy times.
