Description
Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, Sir Alec Broers. As a professor of electrical engineering at the forefront of research into microchip technology, Sir Alec says of his work, "If cars had made the same progress as electronics have in the past decade, then you would be able to drive from Cambridge to London in half a second". He chooses eight records to take with him to the mythical island.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Mir Ist So Wunderbar by Ludwig van Beethoven
