What did you make of new BBC One Sunday night primetime drama ‘A Suitable Boy’?

Qasa asks, what did you make of new BBC One Sunday night primetime drama ‘A Suitable Boy’?

First, Qasa Alom gets a round-up of the latest coronavirus news from our reporter Dil Neiyyar. After that we’ll be talking about the government’s sudden decision that all travellers returning from Spain to the UK will have to quarantine for 14 days. Foreign secretary Dominic Raab said he knows it will cause disruption for holidaymakers but said that the government "can't make apologies". Then Qasa wants to know, what did you make of new BBC One Sunday night primetime drama ‘A Suitable Boy’? It’s set in post-partition India and deals with issues such as forbidden romance and Hindu-Muslim relations. Plus, we’ll hear from Kreena Dhiman, who was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 33 and ended up losing both of her breasts as a result. She’s now teamed up with Helen Addis, founder of charity 'Change and Check', in order to raise awareness. And this week’s guru - dentist Amit Patel – is live on the show to answer all your dental questions.
