It's A Sin fans blast BAFTA as drama fails to win any awards and complain about sound issues

Viewers were fuming as the highly-acclaimed Channel Four mini-series It's a Sin failed to carry home any awards from the BAFTA 2022 TV Awards. Fans rushed to support the drama, focused on the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, saying it was 'robbed.'

The groundbreaking Russell T Davies drama filmed in Manchester was up for five gongs. As well as best mini series, Years and Years singer Olly Alexander was up for best leading actor for his powerful role as Ritchie Tozer.

Co-stars Lydia West (Jill Baxter) and Omari Douglas (Roscoe Babatunde) were nominated for best actress and best supporting actor. And Colin’s devastating AIDS diagnosis was in line to win the Must-See Moment. But to the dismay of fans it didn't win any.
