TV Program: Secrets of the Dead: The Killer Flu

In 1918, at the tail end of the First World War, a flu pandemic ripped through the world with such speed and virulence that by the end of the following year an estimated 40 million people would be dead – outstripping by four-fold the number of victims claimed by the war. Where did this particular flu strain come from, and what made it so deadly? This program shows how 85 years later, virologists and epidemiologists the world over are still hunting down the answers to those two critical questions.
