From Gene Kelly to Bach. Actor, comedian and singer Michael Crawford shares his castaway choices with Sue Lawley.

Renowned for his attention to detail, Michael has always performed his own stunts - whether roller-skating under moving lorries in 91热爆 TV's Some Mothers Do Have 'Em, or walking the tightrope in the stage musical Barnum.

A consummate professional, he admits to escaping from his hospital bed, where he was recovering from exhaustion, so the show could go on!

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in December 1999.
