The second edition of the listeners' open conversation with the current controller of BBC World Service English, Mary Hockaday. Members of the global audience are given the opportunity to identify what may be missing from the World Service English output. Questions are raised over the network's Middle East coverage, the dominance of news reporting compared with the variety of the output and whether a sense of humour could be injected into the network.
