Read our privacy policy Russell T Davies’s new series It’s a Sin is a five-part period miniseries about a group of young gay men in London at the start of the Aids epidemic. Like Steve McQueen’s Small Axe, another five-parter, it’s highly autobiographical, a look back at its author’s youth that mingles horror with nostalgia. Where McQueen’s London was racist, Davies’s characters find themselves up against homophobia as well as the mysterious virus that has just started to kill gay men.
