Within The Rules
Patricia is desperate to be reunited with her birth mum on her 100th birthday – but is determined not to break lockdown rules.
Three personal stories reflecting on how we interpret and respond to the rules.
Including 81-year old Patricia, who has finally found her birth family after a 30 year search - right in the middle of a global pandemic. She's desperate to be reunited with her birth mum on her 100th birthday – but equally determined not to break national lockdown rules.
And Wayne, who lives in Oxford with his husband, reflects on the rules that impact him because of his identity as a sexually active gay man - from blood donations to safari holidays.
Plus the Nottinghamshire biology teacher living a double-life as a pirate radio show host... until the 91Èȱ¬ came knocking.
Presented and produced by Becca Bryers, with additional production from Shivani Dave.
