Remembrance Sunday

Some listeners believe African countries weren't fairly represented on Remembrance Sunday

Why one listener is not a fan of the soap opera Westway, then, complaints about an explanation given for the lack of mention of African deaths in the Remembrance day coverage - 'weren't these World Wars?'. Commissioning Editor Harriet Green explains why the World Service didn't provide its own commentary for the Service and Nigel Steel of Imperial War Museum talks about the difficulty of ascertaining correct figures for war deaths.

Other letters discuss shortwave reception, daylight saving and a call for more news in English on the Czech service.
