BBC Radio 4 - Things My Mother Never Told Me (... About Lockdown), Guz Khan

Sindhu Vee talks to Guz Khan about their mothers, and lockdown.

Sindhu Vee talks to Guz Khan about his mother, who lives next door to him, and how they're both coping with lockdown.

In the first episode of a new series, comedian Sindhu Vee invites guests to talk about their mothers.  Guest across the series include Mae Martin, Guz Khan, Tom Allen and Jayde Adams. 

Lockdown is making us think a lot more about family, and for many people the parent-child relationship has been flipped.  With the older generation more vulnerable to Coronavirus, middle-aged children are now worrying about where their parents are, and if they're behaving responsibly.  We're telling them not to stay out late, to stay away from friends (especially those bad influences who won't wear masks), and to eat their vegetables. 

Sindhu Vee and her guests take a look at that bond, and ask whether the things their mothers taught them have set them up to cope with a global pandemic.

This week, "Man Like Mobeen" star Guz Khan shares anecdotes about growing up with a strong matriarch, and what it's like to live next door to her now.
