Going back a bit

For those who think BBC World Service (in English) has changed too far and too fast, there's a new online archive under test - a store of some 70,000 radio programmes.

There are features, documentaries, dramas - and dramas. And an interesting way of picking up archive news pieces related to both today's news and events in the past.

You have to sign up to join in; I wonder if Aung San Suu Kyi is among those testing the Beta service.
