‘Now I only watch TV in Turkish’
During lockdown, I watched a Turkish show called Diriliş: Ertuğrul. It is set in the 13th century and it’s about Ertuğrul, the father of Osman who founded the Ottoman empire. I enjoyed it immensely. This led me to research other Turkish programmes and I’ve been hooked to this day. Now the only programmes I watch are Turkish! I’ve also picked up the language and have started to learn it online. One of my favourite shows is called Emanet. I’m currently on episode 764! Sometimes the subtitles aren’t available, but I follow as best as I can. Lady-Marie Dawson-Malcolm, 62, London
