Do Not Disturb
Summary
From the award-winning author of The Sisters, Local Girl Missing, and Last Seen Alive, comes a taut psychological thriller in which family secrets and hidden pasts build to a violent climax in a guesthouse among the idyllic Welsh mountains. Following a traumatic event in London, Kirsty Woodhouse packs up her family and moves back to her native Wales. There she sets up her new home with her husband and two young daughters, and goes into business with her difficult mother managing a guesthouse in the Brecon Beacons. But when the guesthouse is ready to be occupied, Kirsty encounters the last person she ever expected to see: her estranged cousin Selena. It has been 17 years since they last talked - when Selena tore everything apart between them. Why has she chosen now to walk back into Kirsty's life? Is Selena running from something, too? Or is there an even darker reason for her visit? As Kirsty becomes increasingly concerned for the safety of her daughters, her dream home begins to feel like her worst nightmare. Kirsty knows that once you invite trouble into your home, it can be murder getting rid of it....

Virus
Summary
A love story about flu. It's January 1969, the winter after the summer of love, and Jill and David's fledgling relationship is about to be put to test by the outbreak of Hong Kong flu. As they huddle under blankets together, full of flu, neither of them is aware of how this moment will impact them in both the near and distant future. Over five episodes, we follow Jill’s story across five decades as she struggles with the highs and lows of life, love and viral infection. At the same time the story tracks the life of Hong Kong flu - how, more than 45 years, it traversed the globe, evolved and was ultimately superseded by new, more virulent strains, such as swine flu and now COVID-19. Using cutting-edge science - of transmission, viral evolution and genetic predisposition - it tells the story of flu and investigates the unique qualities of Jill's genome which make her a 'severe responder'. The human story at the heart of this drama underlines the deep connection we have to the viruses that survive through us and how illness can shape the course of our lives. First broadcast in 2014 under the title My Life with Flu, this programme has new resonance today in the time of coronavirus. It touches on many of the subjects that we are now all too familiar with - the ease of transmission, the way that some people react more severely than others to flu, how the body’s reaction to the flu virus creates a perfect climate in the lungs for pneumonia to develop and flu’s deadly potential.
