NJ: Desert Island Discs Preview

OK, I know it's all a bit obvious and they could't get the music rights anyway probably, but I still like it. Comments welcome.

GRAMS'LONELY MAN' THEME FROM THE INCREDIBLE HULK TV PROGRAMME.

KIRSTIEo, why did you pick that tune?

GORDON BROWN:I just thought it was poignant - this man, Bruce Banner, always has to move on, no matter how loved or how good at his job he is.

KIRSTIE:And why did he?

GORDON BROWN:Well, he used to get angry. I used to get angry. They didn't like me when I was angry.

KIRSTIE:But you didn't turn green.

GORDON BROWN: Not after Tony left Number Ten, no.

GRAMS'I AM THE WALRUS' BY THE BEATLES

KIRSTIE:Tony Hayward, why do you like this song so much?

TONY HAYWARD:I just like The Beatles.

KIRSTIE:That's it?

TONY HAYWARD:Yeah.

KIRSTIE:It's not that you are the Walrus?

TONY HAYWARD:What do you mean?

KIRSTIE:I don't know maybe because Walruses were part of BP's spill response plan and turned out not to be? ... Or that Walruses like playing in the sea thousands of miles from the Gulf of Mexico?

TONY HAYWARD:Erm ... we'll have to wait for the full report.

GRAMSBOBBY VEE'S 'RUBBER BALL'

KIRSIE: So, Robert Green, what is it about the idea of a ball bouncing back to you that so appeals to you?

Hey again Bomsch

First line: it's worth Kirsty saying 'that was 'Lonely Man', familiar to people as the theme tune to The Incredible Hulk,...'

The switching between three people doesn't work, as that's not what the show is. Concentrating on one of them and lengthening it would have worked better IMO. The start was good and I was looking forward to a few songs with Gordon Brown, but think you lost it by introducing the other people.

One more point -- when you said 'has to move on, no matter how loved', the theme tune to The Littlest Hobo popped into my head.
