BBC Factual has ordered coronavirus-themed doc Fighting The Virus (w/t), which sees doctors and twin brothers Chris and Xand van Tulleken tell the story of the pandemic from a personal and medical perspective, and Keeping Britain Fed (w/t), in which Sara Cox and Ade Adepitan explore the work going on behind the scenes at supermarkets as they deal with a surge in customers.
Dr Chris van Tulleken is an infectious diseases doctor at Uclh in central London, the epicentre of treating the UK outbreak. With special access to Uclh, the film will chart what’s happening on the medical frontline, filmed over the last six weeks. Xand will also reveal the impact of the virus on the communities around the hospital – from the homeless on the streets of Westminster to a large family living high up in a London tower block.
The standalone (1×60’) for BBC One is made by Little Gem.
