Today, science has failed to definitively answer two major questions about mad cow disease - where did it originally come from and how did humans get it?

Starting at a meat rendering plant that sparks paranoia in the Kent countryside as early cases of BSE emerge, this omnibus edition of the 10 part series tells the story of the search for answers around mad cow disease.

A vet has the ominous realisation that a new disease is emerging, dissident researchers are convinced the scientific establishment is wrong on BSE, and a grieving mother makes a list of culprits who she blames for her son鈥檚 death.

Written, presented and produced by Lucy Proctor.
