The First Man To Be Mummified In 3,000 Years

★ BAFTA

A Torquay taxi driver dying of cancer donates his body to be mummified by the Egyptian method, and forensic scientists spend months reverse-engineering the embalming recipe that preserved Tutankhamun's contemporaries. The experiment is filmed inside a working pathology lab, with Alan Billis's family present throughout.
