Dad Dr Ben Marsh, a history lecturer at the University of Kent in Canterbury, says they were all "hugely moved" by the global response to the first video.

"Corona! Make way, make way! Corona in spite of you and all the damage you do, we will succeed," the Marsh family sing.

They continue: "We choke at collapsing markets. Oh no!

"We wish we weren't stuck like detainees. I hate disease!"

Dr Marsh said his children - Alfie, 13; Thomas, 12; Ella, 10; and Tess, eight - have been in a few school productions but have otherwise had no musical theatre training.
