It is said that the broadcaster has commissioned its own BBC Studios Documentary Unit to deliver the documentary.

“Interweaving archive and compelling master interviews with many of the key decision-makers in the crisis, the film will be a forensic retelling of the events of a seismic year in UK history when the coronavirus pandemic struck,” BBC said in a press release posted on its website.

The documentary will explore the impact of the crisis on the NHS, social care, economy, and society as a whole, it is said.
