BBC Radio 4 Comedy Series starring Stephen Mangan, THE ISLAND, airing on the 17th February, and available now on BBC Sounds - co-written by Tom Oxenham

Fresh from his real-life appearance on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, Stephen washes up on the island. When he discovers he's not alone, he soon finds himself in the kind of trouble where the Bible, the Complete Works of Shakespeare, and his luxury item will be no help whatsoever.

Living among the palms and rocky outcrops and thousands of copies of the Bible lying in the sand is every former guest of the show - and it's all gone a bit Lord Of The Flies.

Through Stephen's audio diary, we learn that all TV chef Nadiya Hussain wants to do is hunt, that Richard Madeley's gone feral, and that Sandi Toksvig has the Conch. But there's something lurking in the forest, and when Stephen suspects foul play in the power struggle to be chief, he makes a dangerous enemy.

Can he win over his fellow islanders before it's too late? What lengths will he go to to survive? And what the hell is he going to do with this useless coffee machine he chose as his luxury item?

Tom Oxenham co-writes and co-creates this new series with Simon Alcock, produced by Jon Holmes and Bill Dare of Unusual Productions
