During Aung San Suu Kyi's...
visit to London and her meetings with Politicians and addressing of the so called "Mother of Democracies"(Our Houses Of Parliament)she wanted to thank the BBC for all the support she had hearing the news of what was happening in the world(and probably it was the only place she heard what was happening in own country)but just as "we" grow tired of the bad news we are bombarded with she needed some entertainment too.
After all the BBC World Service was supposed to also give the world a snapshot of British Culture for non British listeners and also Ex-pats. Now for whatever the reason(it could be budget cuts)the service is virtually news 24/7 but Aung San Suu Kyi appreciated hearing some music, quizes and comedy. Perhaps an odd drama.
So when she visited The BBC even she had to admit when hearing many of her favourite programmes had been dropped, she said that "You see what I mean by saying it's not what I used to be!" She also said that the World Service was "not as versatile as it used to be". "There used to be so many different programmes on," It's true.
