With Great Pleasure is a long-running BBC Radio 4 series in which a well-known personality selects and introduces a collection of their favourite poetry and prose, usually in front of a live theatre audience.[1] The first episode featured actor Kenneth Williams and was broadcast in April 1970.[2] In contrast to the studio interview format of Desert Island Discs , With Great Pleasure is presented by the guest host with autobiographical stories and anecdotes, and the chosen literary extracts, songs and poems performed by actors and friends.
