@StephenMangan washes up on the actual island from Desert Island Discs. He is not alone. Living there is every former guest of the show - and it’s all gone a bit Lord of the Flies. Don't miss Episode 6: The Cliffhanger, today at 14:45! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@Tayloredword Hot Fuss is the first album that I discovered by myself and fell in love with, so I'll happily talk about it to anyone, anytime

Mr Brightside: I'm looking to talk to two people, one person under 25 (younger the better), and another over 30 (who remembers the track when it was first released), about the power of the song, what it means to them, and why it's endured: alex.taylor01@bbc.co.uk Thanks!

@ackko1971 @jjiszatt @SpursWomen Embarassing to have people like you supporting our club Steve. Please do us all a favour and just keep your mouth shut in future and try and stop those knuckles dragging along the floor.

NEW: For the first time ever, our six London Overground lines are each getting a new name and colour. Read more about the inspiration and meaning behind each new name ⬇️

@JoewMo @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan Khans reasoning is that the names make it easier to navigate the overground. It doesn’t. So his reason is bullshit and the money is wasted.

@AndyWandy777 @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan How is fare dodging more essential than fixing faulty signals? Or accessibility issues? Or replacing old tracks Or having more staff at stations? Whataboutism can be applied anytime but at some point you need to know which route your on on the overground.

@JoewMo @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan I've referred to it as nonessential because it won't improve services. Therefore not essential. I've never heard anybody on the overground say they'd like to see the lines renamed. TFL claim to be losing £150m to fare dodging. Wouldn't this money be better spent resolving that?

@AndyWandy777 @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan I don't agree that it's non-essential but agree there's always a more "worthwhile" project for money to be spent on. The pile on in the comments is not from well-intentioned Londoners who understand the city. They clearly have a very different motive.

@JoewMo @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan I'm also a Londoner for my entire life and I would rather see £6.4m spent on improvements rather than a nonessential rebranding.

@AndyWandy777 @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan @JoeMaristela literally calls him out for not lowering fares. I find his outrage misplaced and insincere and as a Londoner my entire life, don't require his input on where my taxes should be spent. TfL is a public service and as such, should not be run for profit.

@JoewMo @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan Even if you believe this to be a good idea, you can't agree with the timing? TFL is currently billions of pounds in debt. There won't be any extra profit raised this year because the mayor has frozen fares believing it will gain him extra votes in the election.

@JoewMo @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan It's fucking stupid Joe and you know it. The Windrush Line is called that because it goes through Caribbean areas. When I travel to London, I will have no idea what line to get, because I don't have a clue what the "Caribbean" areas of London are.

@AndrewWrigley01 @SadiqKhan No I'm good mate. Keep getting outraged by tube line names though, in a city you don't live in. Seems like a good use of your time.

@JoewMo @SadiqKhan Would you like to debate Windrush? Do you know how they came to be on the Empire Windrush? Do you think we asked them to come? Did they really come to rebuild England at a time when we had so many ex-servicemen we were offering passage to Australia for just £10?

@JoewMo @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan And? They're not now are they? What would be easiest to navigate? Colour + name, or the colour is the name? 🤔

@JoewMo @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan You're point was that the renaming was needed to help people differentiate between lines. If that was the main reason, nothing would be better than naming after the colour of the lines surely?

@Greggsbeggar @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan I don't agree that any of this is worse than Jubilee Line or Circle Line but fair dos. I also don't think this Canadian bloke has the slightest clue or that we really need his input.

@JoewMo @JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan Speak for yourself, I live in London and never had the slightest issue with the overground (and used it often). Friends visiting never did either. Now we'll have a cluttered map with some truly ridiculous naming conventions.

@JoeMaristela @SadiqKhan Hey Joe, thanks for your input but this is actually an incredibly useful change for Londoners. When you went to get on the Overground, there were 6 different lines and being able to clearly differentiate is better for everyone. Hope Canada's good.

Oh, wow, Sadiq Khan, you're really making history now, renaming and re-coloring the London Overground lines for the first time ever. Because, you know, that's totally what Londoners have been clamoring for - not better transportation or lower fares or anything practical like that. And, of course, each new name has some "deep meaning" and "inspiration" behind it. Because God forbid we just call them "Line 1," "Line 2," etc. No, we need to give them names like "The Lime Line" or "The Lavender Line" or whatever nonsensical, meaningless names they've come up with. And let's not forget that this is the same London where people are still dealing with rising crime rates, housing shortages, and a whole host of other issues. But hey, at least they'll have their fancy new color-coded Overground lines to distract them from their problems. #SadiqKhan #OvergroundObsession #LondonPriorities

@DebLaughton @SadiqKhan Sorry Debbie! I have been requesting for ages that the Mayor labels things that are jokes as jokes because it’s just getting very confusing trying to figure out what’s funny. I hate feeling left out too.

@inrunningguru @SadiqKhan Hahaha zing. Should be in Arabic! Because of the 10% of the city that speak it as a secondary language. Wow that’s funny. Someone employ this man to zing things.
