It s a Sin creator Russell T Davies has opened up about his original ideas for a planned sixth episode of the Channel 4 drama.
The writer, whose AIDS-focused series has drawn huge acclaim since it premiered last month, originally envisioned the show as eight episodes long, though in the end condensed it into five – something he had to fight for after being offered four.
Speaking with legendary AIDS activist Ruth Coker Burks as part of Damian Barr s Literary Salon, Davis has now opened up about the further plot ideas he had planned, including another character and a time jump that would have followed an older Jill Baxter (Lydia West).
Black History Month is at an end, but ABC s new series,
Soul of a Nation, is just beginning. ABC is promoting the series as by Black people for all people, and
Soul of a Nation is meant to be an inclusive look at Black America from the inside that welcomes non-Black people into that world of culture, excellence and tragic history.
Everyone who isn t Black especially white people needs this series and its messaging. The six-part series is the first broadcast network news magazine to feature Black culture, from Black perspectives.
Each episode explores a theme. Those include spirituality, Black joy and Black activism in sports. The protests, activism and social change that erupted after George Floyd s death are a focal point.
