Ah, but, the game rules say your luxury item can't be useful (so no axes, or anything else that might help you build a boat to escape). Also, you have to choose which of your 8 record choices you would take if you could only take one.

I was a bit surprised when Sue Lawley allowed a recent guest to choose an I-pod as their luxury item!

But I quite liked Ronald Searle's luxury item of a bottle of champagne - when it was empty, he'd put a note in asking for another bottle of champagne...
