Desert Island Discs: Archive 2005-2011

Kirsty Young's castaway is the journalist and broadcaster Piers Morgan. He spent more than a decade as a Fleet Street editor and pioneered a style of journalism that devoured the day-to-day lives of celebrities. Now, he has become something of a celebrity himself, fronting a TV interview programme and sitting as a judge on both America's Got Talent and Britain's Got Talent. He is, according to one friend, 'the ultimate proof that self-confidence and self-belief can become a self-fulfilling prophecy'.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Mambo Italiano by Dean Martin Book: An Evil Cradling by Brian Keenan Luxury: My cricket bat.
