Another interesting drama series brought to us by BBC Radio 4. This is Anjum Malik's second series about a freelance interpreter, Nina, and her encounters with courts, doctors and affairs of the heart.
I always find it interesting to hear stories about the world of interpreting as it is so different from my own work as a translator of the written word. How close the drama's portrayal is to real life is something I'll have to find out from my interpreter colleagues.
The drama is being broadcast Monday 28 January - Friday 1 February at 10.45am and each episode will be available to listen to for seven days after broadcast at:

About Me
- Nicola Bottrell Hayward
- Brought up in the UK, I became passionate about languages when I was at school. Little did I know when I embarked on the language trail that it would take me through France, Germany, Belgium and even Russia. I had my first taste of the translation industry in 2001 and never looked back, setting up my own business as a freelance translator in 2007.
