So there you are, cast adrift on a sandy shore miles from anywhere, surrounded by the shark infested waters of the Great Sea. This is now your life and you must make the best of it.

You are allowed a little light relief though. And before you are to be cast from the back of Gwaihir, you have choices to make...

1.
You can take three companions (as opposed to eight songs

). You may take One Downer and Two Tolkien characters, OR you may take Three Tolkien characters. You must justify your choices. Think about how useful they will be to your survival and if your sanity can stand being a lifelong companion of these three coves. Maybe you want to populate the island? In which case choose someone you don't mind doing that with.

Or maybe you just want to laugh out the rest of your days? It's up to you.

2.
You will be given a box containing the obligatory copy of Shakespeare's Collected Works, a Bible, and in my version of the game, a complete set of Tolkien's work. However there will be room in this box for one other thing - an object from Arda's long and illustrious history. It could be a sword, a magical Elven object, or something made by Sauron. It could even be something botanical

or something made by Hobbits. The only thing you cannot take is a boat. What will it be? Can you justify your choice?

So what will it be?

Which three people are you taking to your lifelong rum-fest?
What object are you going to cart off?

******

With thanks to Desert Island Discs
