Some 'facts' are so obviously doubtful that any person working as a researcher on a quiz programme (and BBC at that) should immediately double check them.
"QI: Quite Interesting facts about Indonesia
A quietly intriguing column from the brains behind QI, the BBC quiz show...
"Despite being one of the G20 group of leading economies, half of Indonesias population live on less than $2 a day. Its oil reserves mean it is the only south-east Asian member of Nato. "
Part of the G-20 major economies??? On $2 a day?
Maybe they mean one of the Group of Twenty developing countries.
A member of NATO??? A country in South East Asia??
Maybe they mean OPEC? But Indonesia withdrew in 2008 because it was a net oil IMPORTER.
"Indonesias national proverb Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Many, yet one) "
Surely they mean motto?
Does the BBC still receive its financing form the TV licencing fee?
I find Al-Jazeera far more accurate. Time to unplug the Beeb.
