Summary
Kirsty Young’s castaway this week is an artist, illustrator, and author. Virginia Dickinson’s work is defined by its use of bold, bright colours, and she is one of only three illustrators ever to be awarded both The Kate Greenaway Medal and a Caldecott Honour. She is perhaps best known for her first book, Charlie’s Bear, a picture book about a young boy’s adventures with his beloved teddy bear, for which she was first awarded the Greenaway Medal. Charlie’s Bear has become a national treasure, adapted to stage and television. She has been tipped to be a future Children's Laureate, and was named British Children's Author of the Year in 1994.
In conversation with Kirsty Young, she discusses her childhood in America and post-war England, the beginnings of her career and family life, and her eight musical selections.

Summary
Prompt: Charlie and David get sick of posing for photos on the red carpet at the Baftas and decide the most off-putting thing would be for them to make out. This has the opposite effect. Yes, it is just wish fulfilment. Tuxes! Kissing! Public displays of affection!

Summary
"I should have been warned about this sort of thing before I moved in, you know. 'Prospective applicants should be aware that the successful candidate will be required to relinquish all agency in their television viewing, and be prepared at all times to take the place of household furniture, whenever they are found to be more suitable than the perfectly good, if messy, bed already in the possession of the advertiser.'"

Summary
As the precocious heir of a diamond magnate and a famous designer, Arthur lived his entire life sheltered, protected, nurtured and spoiled. He always knew that he would have to step out from behind the scenes and into the limelight to run the family business some day, but he never expected that it would happen so soon or that he would encounter resistance from a board of directors who believe that his disability makes him unfit to lead.
Merlin has stood on every stage in every city in the world, performing to critical acclaim, but after years of globetrotting, he's well and truly burnt out. He didn't quit -- he ran away from stardom, dropping to obscurity in the blink of an eye, forgotten, just another face in the crowd. He's aimless and without purpose until a friend asks him to fill in on a job.
Neither Arthur nor Merlin are looking for salvation. They don't think there's any for them, that things are just too rotten, too far gone. But in the end, Arthur's quiet strength will be a balm to Merlin's broken soul, and it will be in Merlin's steadfast faith that Arthur finds courage.
