BBC - Desert Island Discs - Castaway : Danny Baker
Kirsty Young’s castaway is the broadcaster and writer Danny Baker.
He is a Sony Gold award winning broadcaster with one of the most recognisable voices on our airwaves and his numerous radio and TV shows have brought him legions of fans. As a writer, he has put words in the mouths of Jeremy Clarkson, Ricky Gervais, Chris Evans and even the legendary George Burns.
Despite the successes, he says he’s never plotted his next career move: "No plan - certainly no plan - you’ve only got to look at the incredible way this is all botched together and yet I don’t feel that’s somehow lucky when you look around at some of the half-wits and boss-eyed bozos who people this business - and they’re running departments. All of this is an ant-hill that somebody’s kicked over, and I happen to be one of the more bumptious ants."

In Our Time: The Ontological Argument
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Ontological Argument. In the 11th century Anselm of Canterbury proposed that it was possible to prove the existence of God using reason alone. His argument was taken further by later thinkers including Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz but other philosophers have rejected it. It remains one of the most discussed problems in philosophy. Melvyn Bragg is joined by John Haldane, Professor of Philosophy at the University of St Andrews; Peter Millican, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford and Clare Carlisle, Lecturer in Philosophy of Religion at King’s College London.
