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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ came knocking. Presented and produced by Becca Bryers, with additional production from Shivani Dave. With thanks to Justin Dealey at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Three Counties Radio, Clodagh Stenson at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Oxford, and Dean Jackson and Kenny Burton at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Nottingham.
