It’s A Sin: Olly Alexander says ‘young gay people can’t believe it happened’

The sexual health charity, Terrence Higgins Trust, says it has seen a rise in the number of people getting tested for HIV following the success of Russell T Davies’ drama It's a Sin.

The Channel 4 series follows a group of friends who move to London in 1981 and have their lives turned upside down by the outbreak of the Aids crisis.
