Rick Stein

TV chef and restaurateur Rick Stein is castaway by Sue Lawley.

When the police closed his discotheque down because of too many fights on a Saturday night, all he had left was his restaurant licence.

Living by the sea, he took the obvious option and opened a fish restaurant.

Today he is Britain's best sea food chef and a passionate advocate for the pleasures of cooking and eating fish.

Rick talks about his life and work and chooses eight tracks to take to the mythical island.
