Pandemic 2020 BBC2, 9pm

-

This series has been an extraordin­ary achievemen­t, put together with great speed but still providing an authoritat­ive global picture of the effect of the coronaviru­s pandemic over the course of last year.

In this final episode, the end of 2020 is fast approachin­g, but Covid-19 is still wreaking havoc. Among the Bangladesh­i community in East London, the death toll is rising, and we see how the bereaved have to cope in the wake of sudden loss.

In South America, Takuma (right), an indigenous Amazon villager, witnesses those around him bracing themselves for the arrival of the disease. But elsewhere some are oblivious to the dangers, including a Trump-supporting pastor in Louisiana who insists on keeping his church open and blames the liberal left for a groundless panic.

Here are the pieces of a mosaic of history in the making.
