The Netherlands not Holland

What's the difference between the Netherlands and Holland?

A listener complains regularly about The Netherlands being called Holland and the Assistant Editor of World Service News programmes agrees with him. Another listener heaps praise on the Nigel Kennedy Millennium concert and other arts programmes, and there's a query about the difference between a statesman and a politician. Finally, Write On visits the control room of Bush House to find out about sound levels.
