Your Biggest Gripes and Stand-Out Moments of 2017
The best of listener's comments and highlights from 2017.
The year 2017 was pretty exciting for the BBC World Service – from the launch of several new language services to the introduction of Reality Check. We celebrate your best bits. For example, the moment Amboko in Ethiopia told controller, Mary Hockaday, why she disagreed with the axing of World Have Your Say. Another highlight being when Tubabo in The Gambia told correspondent, Alan Johnstone he would name his unborn child after him. This celebration of your contributions is a reminder that your views are the lifeblood of Over To You.
