"Pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has revealed that she was a fan of Dave Lee Travis&amp;#039;s BBC World Service music request show during her first six years of house arrest in Burma. The 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner told Radio Times that there was more variety on the international radio station between 1989 and 1995 than there seems to be today. &amp;quot;I could be in touch with everything. With culture, with art, with books, with music,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;You know, I haven&amp;#039;t heard any music on the BBC World Service in a long time. Maybe I&amp;#039;m listening at the wrong times. But not one single piece of music. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t mind what they play, because I used to listen to all sorts of different programmes, not just classical music. Er... I can&amp;#039;t remember what the name of that programme... err. Dave Travis, was it?&amp;quot; When prompted with the name Dave Lee Travis, she responded: &amp;quot;Yes! Didn&amp;#039;t he have a programme with all different sorts of music? &amp;quot;I would listen to that quite happily because the listeners would write in and I had a chance to hear other people&amp;#039;s words. It made my world much more complete. But now I don&amp;#039;t hear any kind of music on the BBC.&amp;quot; Travis hosted request programme A Jolly Good Show on the BBC World Service from 1981 to 2001. Talking about Suu Kyi&amp;#039;s comments to BBC Radio 4&amp;#039;s Today programme, he said: &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s rather nice - and it came as a pleasant surprise to me - that a leader of a country in the world, especially one that&amp;#039;s been very repressed, listened to my programme, to get a bit of jollity in her life.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
