Oh please. H1N1, AKA the swine flu is a flu. It's not the worst fears of an Ebola-like virus devastating our population, it's a damned flu. It will claim some lives, just like any new strain of flu would, but the world will emerge alright and we probably will not lament the 'winter of 2009' as the night humanity got cut in half by a ravaged flu as some epic disaster.
I'd expect this sort of ridiculous over-reaction from American Network execs, but I credited the BBC with a little more common sense. I guess it's a relief that they're as silly as ours!
Ya because the Spanish Flu wasn't devastating at all.
Note I'm not saying that the Swine Flu is going to have the same impact as the Spanish Flu (though they are both H1N1 viruses which is where the concern comes from), I'm just refuting your claim that Swine Flu is just like any other common flu which it is not.
I swear the UK only has like 40 actors because the more BBC shows I watch the more I see the same actors poping up again and again. I think I recognize at least 3 of these actors form Dr Who.

Or are they using this as an excuse not to do another batch of episodes, covering for some other reason?

The only thing that was scary about this flu was the unknown.
