Michael Caine, one of Britain's best-loved film stars, confirms his surprising appetite for modern "chill out" tracks on Desert Island Discs today.
"What? You expect an old duffer to come on and choose Anne Zeigler and Webster Booth, pre-war stuff, do you?" he challenges presenter Kirsty Young, revealing that his favourite song is Elbow's One Day Like This.
During his visit to BBC Radio 4's fabled isle, Sir Michael, 76, dishes out tips on cooking Christmas lunch and on having a happy marriage. He explains that his harmonious life with his wife, Shakira, relies on having his and hers bathrooms, while the best roast potatoes should be par-boiled, then soaked in cold olive oil.
