Wendy Richard
Sue Lawley's castaway is actress Wendy Richard.
The castaway in Desert Island Discs this week is the actress Wendy Richard, one of the best-known faces on British television.
She'll be talking to Sue Lawley about a career which started with the Arthur Haines show in the 60s, and took her through a whole series of long-running television programmes - The Newcomers, Are You Being Served? and its sequel Grace and Favour. However, it was 10 years ago that she took the part which was to bring her her greatest popularity - Pauline Fowler in EastEnders.
