Hannah Fry Returns

In July 2022, the BBC released a weird "Big Brother" style reality TV show called "Unvaccinated".

Hannah Fry meets seven unvaccinated people to investigate why around four million adults remain unvaccinated against Covid-19, and to find out if any of them will change their mind.

It seems odd that the BBC chose to push this in 2022 when the Covid Jab Craze was "so over", but the upside for me was that my first film - "Hannah Fry and the Peacock Feather: Part One" - suddenly gained traction and began to spread.

Pleased as I was at this turn of events, I was keenly aware that when I made the film (2021), I hadn't understood the full extent of the BBC's involvement in kick-starting the 2020 Corona Show, and so I decided to make a very short video to illustrate this crucial point by way of a Domino Chain Reaction. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and it kind-of works, but now that I watch it again, I can see that I've put too much information on each slide for a viewer to absorb, and so I’ve set them out below.
