VISION ON SOUND EPISODE 131 - TX APRIL 9 2023 - IT'S A SIN

First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on April 9th 2023

I often feel very lucky that, with such a lot of telly out there in the world to be viewed, VISION ON SOUND has several regular guests who are prepared to watch certain up-to-the-minute programmes so that I don’t have to, and I can concentrate on the older stuff, which is where we usually like to lurk in this show.

This also means that they can sift through some of the programmes I might otherwise have missed, and tell me whether it’s worth me emerging from the library stacks, and taking a look at some of the more recent gems, and seeing some of the possible future classics that television is making right now.

This week LISA PARKER really wanted to tell me all about RUSSELL T DAVIES’ five-part drama from 2021 called IT’S A SIN which tells the rather important story of a group of friends living under the shadow of the AIDS virus in the 1980s and 1990s.

SPOILER ALERT: Be aware that LISA does reveal a lot of the plot of this series and she herself recommends in this chat that, if you haven’t yet seen the show in the two years it’s been available, you might want to go and watch it now before returning to listen to her overview of it.

PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.
