"My wife and I are great opera buffs" says Bamber Gascoigne, who became a household name when he first became the question master of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ television's University Challenge some 25 years ago. In conversation with Michael Parkinson, he looks back on his career as a writer and broadcaster and reveals a novel approach to assembling his package of records to take to the mythical island.
