Sweet Bobby
In 2009, Kirat received a Facebook friend request from “Bobby Jandu,” a charming cardiologist with mutual connections, including her cousin Simran Bhogal. Over nearly a decade, their online friendship blossomed into a deep romantic relationship, despite never meeting in person. “Bobby” consistently provided plausible excuses for avoiding face-to-face encounters, citing reasons like being in witness protection or suffering from severe health issues
24 Hours in A&E

Over 300 episodes of this much loved series have been produced since it launched in 2011, featuring King’s College Hospital in South London. In 2014, the series moved across the capital to St George’s Hospital before moving to it’s new home at Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham in 2021.

Race Across the World
Race Across the World is a BAFTA-winning British reality competition series that challenges pairs of travelers to race across vast regions of the globe without using air travel or smartphones. Armed with only a limited budget equivalent to the cost of airfare for the route, contestants must navigate unfamiliar territories using local transportation, manage their finances wisely, and often take on short-term jobs to fund their journey. The show combines elements of travel, adventure, and human drama as teams face physical and emotional challenges, cultural differences, and the complexities of their relationships
Rich Kids go Skint
Pairing affluent young adults with families living on the breadline, the show offers the former a firsthand experience of life under financial constraints.
