I keep coming back to Dave Allen. What an exceptional man he was. May he rest in peace, having helped to make the world a better place. Thank you so much for this video.
His musical choices on the show were as below. Favourite track: Canon In D by Johann Pachelbel Book: Ballard of Reading Gaol by Oscar Wilde. Luxury: Painting by Van Hook: Isaac Albéniz Asturias Soloist: John Willams Johann Strauss Radetzky March Choir: Johann Strauss Orchestra Of Vienna Conductor: Willi Boskovsky Georges Bizet Au fond du temple saint (from The Pearl Fishers) Soloist: Jussi Björling, Robert Merrill Orchestra: RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra Leonard Bernstein West Side Story Medley Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 6 in F major 'Pastoral' Orchestra: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Herbert von Karajan Peggy Lee I Don't Want To Play In Your Yard Joseph Haydn Keyboard Concerto in D major Soloist: George Malcolm Johann Pachelbel Canon in D major Orchestra: Jean-François Paillard Orchestra
Note: there are no actual discs/music played in this extract and it does not even let you know what Dave Allen's selections were. The interview is pretty good though.

Where are the music requests from Dave Allen ??? 🤔🍀🍁👵🎭👍
Desert Island Discs is about the music requests from the Celebrity as well as the chat.🤨
Apparently you missed the announcement at the beginning stating that this audio is an "extract",
which means it is not complete.
Note: there are no actual discs/music played in this extract and it does not even let you know what Dave Allen's selections were. The interview is pretty good though.
Where's all the music/songs?!!!!!
