Episode 3: In search of Hislop's luxury
Stephen Mangan washes up on the actual island from Desert Island Discs. He is not alone. Living there is every former guest of the show - and it鈥檚 all gone a bit Lord of the Flies.
Castaway Stephen Mangan tries to make up for accidentally destroying the camp's food supply by going in search of Ian Hislop鈥檚 hidden luxury.
From Bill Dare (Dead Ringers), Jon Holmes (The Skewer) and writers Tom Oxenham and Simon Alcock, actor Stephen Mangan washes up on the actual island from Desert Island Discs, only to discover that he is not alone.
Living among the palms and rocky outcrops and thousands of copies of the Bible lying in the sand is every former guest of the show - and it鈥檚 all gone a bit Lord of the Flies.
Through Stephen鈥檚 audio diary, we learn that all TV chef Nadiya Hussain wants to do is hunt, that Richard Madeley鈥檚 gone feral, and that Sandi Toksvig has the Conch. But there鈥檚 something lurking in the forest, and when Stephen suspects foul play in the power struggle to be chief, he soon finds himself making a dangerous enemy.
Can he win over his fellow islanders before it鈥檚 too late? What lengths will he go to to survive? And what the hell is he going to do with this useless coffee machine he chose as his luxury item?
