From Elvis Presley to Bruce Springsteen.
Comedian and actor Rob Brydon shares his castaway choices with Kirsty Young.
Growing up in Port Talbot, South Wales, Rob discovered performing when he was a teenager and says he came alive when he was on stage: so much so that he left school with only a couple of O Levels.
For years, he made a comfortable but unfulfilling living recording voice-overs and working on a TV shopping channel. He always dreamed of working in comedy, though, and eventually it was 'Marion and Geoff' and then 'Gavin and Stacey' that made him a household name.
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in May 2010.
