It is a little-appreciated factthat,while 2,500 CBEs, MBEs,OBEs and knighthoods are handed out every year, just 42people are invited to appear on Desert Island Discs. Or as one critic put it in a review of a book published to celebrate the show's 70th anniversary in 2012: "Only one honour in British life really matters."And visitors to the BBC Wildlife website seem to agree that there is a great kudos to being cast away. Otherwise more than 2,500 of you would not have voted to determine which British conservationist you would most like to hear choose their eight piecesof music, book and luxury item.
