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.

Has a lovely speaking voice 👍 you can imagine him narrating documentaries like David Attenborough does. 😊

Where are the music requests from Dave Allen ??? 🤔🍀🍁👵🎭👍 Desert Island Discs is about the music requests from the Celebrity as well as the chat.🤨

[@spacemissing]

Apparently you missed the announcement at the beginning stating that this audio is an "extract", which means it is not complete.

[@arafjan7488]

Where's all the music/songs?!!!!!

[@BaronMichaelDeBlone1066]

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.
