A full list of the rescued episodes of Desert Island Discs

Though the 成人快手 has been broadcasting for a century, there are many gaps in the archives where programmes have been lost. On many occasions, the audio was never saved because of the high cost of making and storing the discs and tapes onto which programmes had to be recorded.

Fortunately for the 成人快手, numerous radio fans made their own off-air recordings of favourite programmes, and keen collectors now hunt down these home-made tapes. One recent treasure trove was discovered to include over 90 editions of Desert Island Discs missing from the 成人快手’s own archives. This hoard has been digitised and you can now listen to a glittering collection of newly-rescued castaways on 成人快手 Sounds.
