A pandemic of the past

I love a good history documentary, and watching John Sergeant, Xand van Tulleken and Raksha Dave investigate The Great Plague on Channel 5 was superb. Given that we are experiencing a pandemic, it was interesting to see how the spread was handled in Britain in 1665. Special plaudits must go to Raksha, who’s building a reputation for being a great presenter of such shows.
