19 OCT. 2026 · Episode Three, “The City That Survived,” tells the story of London after the worst of the Black Death had passed.
The plague did not simply disappear and leave London unchanged. The enormous loss of life created consequences that lasted for generations. With so many workers dead, labour became more valuable. Workers could demand higher wages, move between employers, and sometimes seek better opportunities.
This created tension between ordinary labourers and the wealthy elite. Authorities attempted to control wages and restrict the movement of workers, eventually contributing to wider social tensions that would help shape England in the decades that followed.
But the effects of the Black Death were not limited to economics. The psychological and religious impact was enormous. Families had been destroyed, communities had lost their members, and survivors had witnessed death on a scale almost impossible to imagine.
The episode also looks at the lasting nature of plague in London. The outbreak of 1348–1350 was not the final time plague would visit the city. Further outbreaks occurred in later centuries, forming part of a much longer history of plague.
The Black Death changed London forever—but the city survived, rebuilt itself, and continued into a new chapter of history. This episode includes AI-generated content.

19 OCT. 2026 · Episode Two, “London Under the Shadow of Death,” takes us into the most terrifying period of the Black Death in medieval London.
By the beginning of 1349, the plague was no longer a frightening possibility. It had become an overwhelming reality. Deaths were increasing rapidly, and London’s ordinary burial grounds could not cope with the number of victims.
This episode explores what happened when the city was forced to create emergency cemeteries, including the enormous burial grounds at East Smithfield and West Smithfield. Archaeological discoveries centuries later have revealed carefully arranged mass burials containing hundreds of individuals, giving us a physical connection to the people who lived through the disaster.
The episode also explores the experience of ordinary Londoners. What did people do when their neighbours became sick? How did families respond? What treatments were available? And what happened when the people responsible for maintaining the city themselves became victims?
The Black Death was not simply a story of mysterious illness. It was a crisis of fear, religion, medicine, government, family, and survival.
As London struggled through the worst months of the outbreak, death became impossible to ignore. The city was being transformed one household at a time. This episode includes AI-generated content.

19 OCT. 2026 · In late 1348, London was about to face a disaster that would transform the city forever.
Episode One, “The Plague Arrives,” takes us into medieval London just before the Black Death reached the capital. London was already crowded, busy, and vulnerable. Thousands of people lived close together, while merchants, travellers, animals, and goods constantly moved through the city.
Then came the terrifying news of a deadly disease spreading across Europe.
The episode follows the plague’s journey toward England and its eventual arrival in London in the autumn of 1348. At the time, people did not understand bacteria, infection, or modern epidemiology. They could see people becoming sick and dying, but they could not explain why.
As the first deaths increased, fear began spreading alongside the disease. Religious explanations became common, while others searched for medical or supernatural answers. Authorities struggled to respond to a crisis moving faster than medieval institutions could handle.
This episode sets the stage for the catastrophe that followed. It is the story of the moment London realized that the mysterious disease outside its walls had finally entered the city. This episode includes AI-generated content.
