T+S does Plague
Our Technology and Science group looked at the history and science of ‘plague’ at the end of June. We covered several pandemics around the world but, because the presenter is squeamish, the gory details were only scraped over.
But Channel 5 has given us the chance to relive the 1665 English events.
