BBC Radio 4 - Desert Island Discs, Martin Clunes

Actor and presenter Martin Clunes joins Kirsty Young to choose his Desert Island Discs.

Martin Clunes, star of Doc Martin and Men Behaving Badly, is interviewed by Kirsty Young and chooses his eight Desert Island Discs.

Kirsty Young's castaway is the actor Martin Clunes. 

He became a household name in the 1990s in the comedy "Men Behaving Badly" and, in the years since, has performed at The National Theatre, presented a number of natural history documentaries and become the gruff GP in the comedy drama "Doc Martin."

His prominent ears are among his trademarks and he reveals that early in his career he turned down an opportunity to have them pinned back. He said: "I just didn't fancy it - maybe I hadn't noticed them".
