Disease X: Hunting the Next Pandemic

“Chris Van Tulleken is an associate professor at University College London, a practising doctor in infectious diseases and a tremendously affable sort, committed to making complex medical matters accessible to a wide audience. This makes his documentary about where and what the next pandemic virus will be a strangely jolly while utterly comfortless watch. I guess a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine – and contemplation of an existential threat – go down.”
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian

“Following the untimely death of Michael Mosley, medical science needs a broadcaster of Mosley’s popular reach. Tulleken shares the late doctor’s engaging personality and ability to clearly communicate complex ideas. Horizon can sometimes baffle, but this documentary never once got ahead of me.”
Gerard Gilbert, The i

“Van Tulleken’s approach was methodical, explaining abstruse science in an accessible way.”
Carol Midgley, The Times
