The airwaves were a sadder place when DLT left the BBC. His shows were always a delight so I am not surprised that Suu Kyi regarded his World Service shows something of a lifeline.
I don’t think the BBC really knew what they were losing when he resigned in 1993. And now that he is receiving such an endorsement all I can say to the BBC is
“quack quack oops”
DLT, the Hairy Cornflake, we miss you.
