The capital was alive with dancing, sex and infatuation – but unbeknown to the millions of gay men enjoying unprotected sex, our community was rapidly being exterminated by a new deadly disease.Īmong the few key straight characters is Jill (played by the excellent Lydia West), a real-life heroine, friend of Davies and the mother of It’s A Sin.
