James Keach's romantic comedy Blind Dating concerns a 22-year old blind man named Danny (Chris Pine. Though Danny refuses to let his visual deficiency keep him from enjoying every aspect of life, he does shy away from women. When his brother Larry (Eddie Kaye Thomas) discovers Danny is a virgin, he makes every effort to lift that burden from him. Although a series of dates goes very wrong in a number of ways, Danny eventually meets a nurse (Anjali Jay), who agrees to go out with him, although her Indian family may prove a greater hindrance to their happiness than his medical condition. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

The setting for the three-part British miniseries Turning World was a decrepit Victorian asylum. Slated to be demolished by a group of forward-thinking civic leaders, the asylum was championed by its head doctor, an East Indian named Khan (played by Roshan Seth of Buddha of Suburbia fame). The rest of the story was devoted to Dr. Khan's efforts to save the establishment and protect his hapless patients. Turning World was broadcast by Britain's Channel 4 in 1997. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
