Listen "Robert Lindsay"
Episode Synopsis
The castaway in Desert Island Discs this week is actor Robert Lindsay. Born in Derbyshire 42 years ago, he's recognised today as one of Britain's most versatile performers. He'll be talking to Sue Lawley about his schooldays at a secondary modern and the art master who introduced him and the rest of the school to drama. He'll also be recalling the days when he couldn't walk down the street without being mobbed, so famous was he for his role as Wolfie in the BBC's television sitcom Citizen Smith.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss
