Getting a new TV series on the air, let alone a sexy but weepy dramedy about the ’80s-era HIV/AIDS crisis, is no mean feat. But the much-reported uphill battle to realize the powerful, London-set saga
It’s a Sin has been over-dramatized, Russell T Davies insists.
“Every show is hard to get on air,” says Davies, the award-winning creator of
Queer as Folk, on a lively Zoom chat from his home in Manchester, England. “Because you’re essentially turning up at someone’s office saying, ‘Give me six million dollars,’ which no one wants to do. So it doesn’t matter if it was this or a chase or a cop show it’s always hard. This took about five years to get made, but there are people out there who have had stuff for 20 years trying to get made.”
