Appearances
You've spoken about Roger in the last few years of his life and then David's illness.
And also you took time out of your acting for your own two children when you adopted them.
What about the time that you have now to a degree, although you have the sadness of
the people who are no longer with you in your family.
You have a life that is maybe more your own than ever.
And what about Ros, your daughter?
You're very close to Ros.
And does Ros ever try to persuade you that you might want to consider retirement?
Let's hear your final piece of music then, June.
What have we got?
The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah.
So I will give you then to the Bible and the complete works of Shakespeare, and you're allowed to take a book.
What's your book going to be?
And one hand can play the other hand.
Left hand can play right hand.
And if you had to choose just one of the discs from today, which one would you choose?
I think the Rodrigo Concerto de Aranworth.
It's yours.
June Spencer, thank you very much for letting us hear your Desert Island Discs.
It's been a great pleasure.
