Desert Island Discs

The wonderful article with the wonderful Kirsty Young mentions the DID episodes featuring Victoria Wood and Tony Wilson. I can't find the latter, although I'd very much like to hear it. Am I being dumb? Quite possibly...

I just Googled
and found this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/newsnight/2007/08/find_tonys_lost_discs_1.htm... which seems to be saying Tony Wilson died before his scheduled appearance, so didn't get to do it. Is this right?
Hello troops! I mentioned Tony Adams, not Tony Wilson.
At least I've checked the copy I filed to the lovely Mr Ellen, and it says, "She holds their hands when things get tough (try Tony Adams and Victoria Wood on the online archive), but also laughs along..." I know the last bit of that line was cut for space, but not sure if the ghost of Mr Manchester decided to take over in press week! The Tony Adams programme is very much recommended, though, however much you care about football. It's very honest, open, and very moving, especially in the context of the recent (much needed) pieces about footballers and depression.
And can't check in my issue about this Wilson/Adams possible switcheroo as I gave it to Henry Rollins...next month's victim!
It has been subject to a mysterious switcheroo, Jude.
It says Tony Wilson in the copy. #saveoursubs
Victoria Wood was good
She chose Mr Scruff.
