Quentin Letts, writing in today’s Daily Mail, reckons the classic tv comedy It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum (first shown on BBC1) is the favourite show of the Burmese democracy campaigner Aung San Suu Kyi. Apparently she used to watch it when she lived in Britain during the 1970s.
In 1972 Aung San Suu Kyi married Dr. Michael Aris, a scholar of Tibetan culture, who was living in Bhutan. Dr. Michael Aris died on 27th March 1999. Ang San Suu Kyi’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Lucinda Phillips, lives at Teddington House, Church Street, Warminster.
