We apologise if you did not receive this email but according to our records an email was sent. For reference this is the response we published:
"Dear Ruth,
Thank you for your messages to the BBC Asia Contact Us site on Tuesday 5 June.
We are sorry that you were so disappointed with the commentary that accompanied coverage of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations on BBC Entertainment Asia.
This was a fantastic opportunity for our international viewers to enjoy the historic events in London. We provided extensive coverage of the Thames Pageant, concert at Buckingham Palace and Services of Thanksgiving and Royal Procession with a variety of tones and styles for different audiences. It is worth noting that this was a live broadcasting event of unprecedented scale and complexity amidst weather conditions which turned out to be challenging for all involved.
We do thank you for your feedback and we hope that you enjoyed at least some of our coverage of the historic events in London.
Best wishes,
BBC Entertainment"
Turning to your feedback regarding repeats, we are sorry that you are unhappy with the amount of repeats which you feel are broadcast on our channels in Asia. As with all cable and satellite channels, repeats are a feature of most schedules and this is welcomed by those viewers who don't watch the same channel every day and, due to the multi-channel environment, often miss complete series.
We regularly introduce new programmes to our channels in Asia and we have some fantastic programmes premiering in October including on BBC Entertainment, Torchwood series 3 and Primeval series 4, on BBC Knowledge we have Undercover Boss Australia series 2, Toughest Place To Be…, Secret Millionaire series 7 and Frozen Planet. We do hope you will enjoy some of these programmes.
Thank you for contacting us and for taking the time and trouble to send us your feedback.
Best wishes,
BBC Worldwide Channels
