This week on Over To You, Rajan Datar hears the views of listeners responding to the interview in last week's programme in which the BBC's director general, Mark Thompson, talked about the BBC's role in the world and his plans for its future. Listeners give Rajan their views on where they think the editorial priorities should lie, how the World Service might be funded in the future, and whether television is more important than radio. Rajan also hears from Firdevs Robinson, the editor of the BBC's Central Asia region, about the difficulties and dangers of reporting on the recent ethnic conflict in Kyrgyzstan.
