Desert island picks (assuming power and unlimted data!) - what would you pick?

(Oh, YouTube isn't allowed as there's not that much bandwidth 😉 )

Mine

BBC 2 (very close thing with BBC4)

Radio 4

The Hull Truth (all about power boats but covers and amazing array of subjects and has a huge following)

BBC2 - intelligent programming

Radio 3 - best music channel by a million miles

STW - for the encyclopaedic knowledge of it's contributors.

Quest for carp mindless documentaries

Never listen to radio bar smooth radio at work ( completely inoffensive to everyone including the old folk.)

BBC website for the breadth of stuff on it from rugby commentaries to comprehensive news coverage with a consistent bias that can be discounted

BBC 4 (but could live without TV)

Radio 4 (good for staying in touch with the world and having proper discussions about stuff)

Singletrack (good for everything that is interesting, happy, sad, weird etc)

(can I have a Private Eye subscription instead of the TV channel, and does BBC Three count as a web site or a TV channel?)

If we're playing desert island media....

Film 4

Planet Rock

Sainsbury's.

If I'm stuck on a desert island I need to eat and with them pared up with Argos plus home delivery I stand a chance of getting a blu ray player, TV and sound bar at least, plus a tool kit to build a shelter and some beach games and some new swimmers.

Then when the delivery truck gets here I can mug the driver, have a little feast on everyone else's shopping turning it into a nice beach holiday before heading for home with a nice box van (obviously taking the driver back with me).

BBC 2

STW - pretty certain it'd be pretty useful, could start endless threads with "I'm stuck on a desert island, how do I find water/food/shelter/start a fire etc'" or maybe more usefully "I'm stuck on a desert island - send help!"
