É 1918 e chega ao fim a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Milhões morreram e o mundo está exausto pela guerra. Mas logo um novo horror estará varrendo o mundo, um vírus aterrorizante que matará mais de cinquenta milhões de pessoas - a gripe espanhola. Usando reconstrução dramática e testemunho ocular de médicos, soldados, civis e políticos, este especial traz à vida o ataque da doença, os horrores daqueles que a viveram e os esforços dos cientistas pioneiros que procuraram desesperadamente a cura. Narrado por Christopher Eccleston, o filme também pergunta se, um século depois, as lições aprendidas em 1918 podem nos ajudar a combater uma futura pandemia global de gripe.

Pump Up the Bhangra is a celebration of the way young British Asians have found their voice and their identity through bhangra music over the past thirty years. Fronted by BBC Asian Network DJ Bobby Friction, the film tells the story of how a simple folk tradition from the wheat fields of north India was transformed in the 1980s to become a unique British club music - outselling many mainstream UK acts. It's a story of cassette tapes, corner shops and glitter-clad musical heroes, of teenagers bunking off school to attend secret daytime gigs and of generational culture clashes - as this underground scene became as popular among Asians as Wham and Culture Club were to the mainstream. The film traces the birth of bhangra amid the early Punjabi immigrants in the steel foundries of the West Midlands. It explores its glitzy heyday when, despite selling hundreds of thousands of records, artists remained unknown by the mainstream and failed to make it into the charts.

Finally, Alan reveals the tragic fate of many of the cabaret artists at the hands of the Nazis.
