Turkish play

Published January 17, 2013

THE Pakistani public, which has gone crazy over the Turkish plays now being screened here, has not seen the best play called The Magnificent Century.

It is about the political, military and love life of Suleiman the Magnificent. Almost the entire of Europe has been watching it for a year, with at least 48 episodes aired.

I request Pakistani channels to contact their Turkish counterpart and air this superb series. It will be akin to something Pakistanis have never seen before.
