JKR on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs

[Flying Ford Anglia]

No: HPFGUIDX 4972

Hi everyone...

JK Rowling will be appearing on the BBC Radio 4 programme "Desert 
Island Discs" on Sunday 05/11/00 (11.15-12.00GMT), and the show
will be repeated on Friday 10/11/00.  

Guests on the programme are asked to choose their favourite songs or 
pieces of music (eight in total, I think) plus one luxury item to 
take to an imaginary desert island.  I don't usually listen to it 
myself, so perhaps some kind R4 listener can give more details of the 
layout of the programme?  There will be a lot of chat between the 
songs, so I guess it will be worthy of our attention!

The only other thing I've heard about the show is that JKR has 
reportedly chosen REM's "Everybody Hurts" as one of the
songs/pieces.
