It’s a Sin leads list of BAFTA TV nominations with 11 nods
Channel 4 HIV/AIDS drama It’s a Sin is leading the way at this year’s BAFTA television awards with a total of 11 nominations.
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.
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. Its 11 nominations at the ceremony are made up of five in the craft categories and six in the television awards categories.
