Every archived episode of Desert Island Discs is already available to listen to on demand (for free) so we can probably guess which episodes they're going to repeat.

First of all, let's eliminate the episodes that, unfortunately, no longer exist in the BBC archive:
Kenneth Williams (22 May 1961) [his first appearance on the show]
Peter Jones (24 Sep 1962)
Derek Nimmo (8 May 1967)
Clement Freud (20 Feb 1967)

These would actually be the four episodes I would most like to hear but unless they've found them recently it's highly unlikely. :-(

That leaves just nine episodes featuring eight regular panel members that still exist in the archive:
Tim Rice (21 Feb 1976 or 27 Jun 2004) [they could use either episode]
Kenneth Williams (26 Jul 1987) [his second appearance on the show]
Paul Merton (19 Sep 1993)
Wendy Richard (9 Jul 1995)
Sheila Hancock (27 Feb 2000)
Graham Norton (2 May 2004)
Julian Clary (25 Sep 2005)
Gyles Brandreth (9 Jan 2011)

We know Julian is the first episode so we need to choose four others...

My guess is:
Kenneth Williams (26 Jul 1987)
Paul Merton (19 Sep 1993)
Sheila Hancock (27 Feb 2000)
Gyles Brandreth (9 Jan 2011)

Anyone else want to have a guess?
