The castaway on this week's Desert Island Discs is a monk, a man at peace with solitude, but whose life has been spent fighting the cause of the oppressed and dispossessed, from South Africa to London's East End. He is Bishop Trevor Huddleston, former Bishop of Stepney and President of the Anti-Apartheid Movement. He'll be talking to Sue Lawley about his long and varied life.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Fidelio - The Prisoners Chorus by Ludwig van Beethoven Book: The Oxford Book of English Verse Luxury: Binoculars
