Reception
Keith Watson in The Daily Telegraph praised Chaudhry for an "impressive performance that punched way above the weight of the material" but felt that "the drama buckled under the strain of trying to squeeze a big story into a tiny space". Carol Midgely in The Times described it as "a well-written drama and I could see its point" but felt that the run time meant it "felt too short" to do justice to the issues it raised.
