Tuning in…
This 1953 edition of Desert Island Discs aired but no recording survives. The BBC kept very few episodes before the mid-1970s — many early tapes were wiped or never archived — so this is a 'ghost' episode: we know it happened, and the castaway's chosen book and luxury are recorded here from the archive listing, but the conversation itself is lost.
