Fans of It’s a Sin have been left “speechless” after the critically acclaimed series failed to win any of its 11 nominations at the BAFTA TV Awards.

The show follows a group of friends in 1980s London who grow up in the shadow of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Upon release, it received praise for its powerful storytelling, incredible cast, and bringing LGBTQ+ history to a mainstream audience in a way that had never been done before.

The drama, which coincided with HIV Testing Week, proved to have a remarkable impact on viewers, with Terrence Higgins Trust announcing that 8,200 HIV tests were ordered in one day – smashing their previous daily record of 2,800.

It’s a Sin was created and written by Russell T Davies, the mastermind behind Doctor Who’s reboot in the 2000s. It led the way at this year’s BAFTA TV Awards with a total of 11 nominations across five categories: Best Miniseries, Must-See Moment (Colin’s devastating AIDS diagnosis), Leading Actor (Olly Alexander), Leading Actress (Lydia West) and Supporting actor (Callum Scott Howells, David Carlyle, Omari Douglas).
