I can't be the only one who thinks Colin's mom is also an angel. So intuitive and accepting of her son without any judgment, or blame. Excellent series!
I felt the exact same way. Colin’s mother was such a wonderful and amazingly loving mother and soul. It was her love and acceptance of Colin, all of his friends and her love for them all - she along with Jill’s parents were the parents that they all needed and deserved to have and be loved by.
I wanted to reach through the screen and hug her..
Especially when contrast it with Ritchie's mom who became an absolute monster when she found out. It makes me appreciate Colin's mom even more.
Yes. She was amazing and most LGBTQ groups would have been there for her and vice versa.
@@seriouslyrelax yea and she hardly cried when he died. Wheras his dad did was a much more devastating...
"So there isn't... a boyfriend?"
"No..."
"No but you'd like there to be?"
"Yes."
And that little nervous smile he does made me really emotional. This is the first time he's been able to admit this about himself and it's so beautiful. Callum Scott Howells' performance is so nuanced, likeable and believable.
He was brilliant
Henry Coltrane was one of the untold stories. The men who first contracted HIV, then AIDS and died quietly without so much as a tear shed at his funeral. Who had lived a life away from his family who could never accept him, and with friends in the same circle that died of mystery Pneumonias, cancers. The ones who were too early to be part of the main epidemic's victims.
So very sad.
The humour and the courage is astonishing. Gaymen are like Jews, they laugh at the tragedy of their history. I remember a friend of mine who died in the 80s said “ I tell everyone I have Cancer, otherwise I don’t get any visitors.” That gallows humour was brilliantly done in this show. This programme is also about the indomitable spirit of women. The Mothers and Sisters, the Nurses, the Lesbian campaigners, the female solicitors who took on the establishment. Women played a huge part in fighting the dreadful prejudice.
Colin was the breakout character in this series by far.
100%, him and Jill were the best characters
I love him ☹️
None of them deserved it but he really really didn’t.
I agree 😊
We all adored him.
Henry Coltrane’s character was absolutely spot on. He’d taken Colin under his wing and was so stoic and accepting of his fate.
Absolutely wonderful portrayal of the British officer class, made of the “right stuff “.
Terrific acting.
Terrible pity he was only in one episode. Brilliantly written and wonderful acting all the way through.
The whole enterprise deserves the truck-load of awards it deserves to win.
officer class ??
Neil Patrick Harris's accent is excellent.
It does sound a bit off in a few places, to be fair. But definitely not the worst accent I've heard!
Yes
he did suit up as well
@@alphabet_soup123 It does not sound off. This is just confirmation bias. You expected it to be off, and you imagine it to be off. But you do you.
Colin was my favorite character for me and just fell in love with him from the first scene.
Mine too
Same☺️☺️☺️👍
You and I both x
Lovely, lovely Colin, and his lovely non judgemental mum who accepted him for who he was. Henry Coltrane and his partner were lovely to him, helping him accept his sexuality.
Same he was so kind and so sweet it made me cry and I found out he had aids.
"Another pint for the bender, please!" *Points* 😅😅
Was that a gay pub?
It's weeks since I watched this and I still find myself crying out of the blue. I'm too young to remember the 1980s and had no idea there was such rampant ignorance and hate around AIDS and the gay community. I guess I just didn't think about it, so thank you to Russell T Davies for opening my eyes. This was a hard crash to earth, and the best drama I've ever seen.
same. I dont know why but I find myself thinking about Colin and his mum out of the blue occasionally. like how would she have survived ??
Such a good lad, his first time experience and he got it 💔 i cried when he started fitting and then his confusion setting in. Heartbreaking
Callum Scott Howell's was in his last year of drama college when he filmed this. What a performance- he is definitely the MVP of It's a Sin.
A bright future beckons for this young actor.
He was amazing.
Wow
@@keepyourvisionstoyourself1932 Most Valued Player. So basically what I was saying was that he was the stand out character in the series.
Neil acting is so spot on...i fell into his character💖😥
Neil was brilliant in this, capturing 1981 perfectly
Of course Barney works in a tailors
Suiting all the way up 🤣
He needs to look lengen….wait for it….DARY!
@@reggiereggiesauce5755 lol
It was perfect
Neil Patrick Harris’s English accent is very good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am so in love with Colin/Callum x I literally CANNOT stop thinking about him fitting, just want to stroke his hair after each episode, hold him, and look after him, and be there to talk to his amazing mum x punch the doggy doo abuser in the face.. But so unfair that he died the way he did, he was shy, endearing, respectful, polite, drop dead gorgeous, love his suits.. Really cried when Colin passed and the horror of realisation on Ritchie"s face that he was next in line, as it was... Just floor's me, and freddie Mercury sings at the end with the closing titles, "who wants to live forever, just opens up those flood gates, i can tell you what comes next, is just as poignant x god bless, @All4 x bravo @callumshowells, bravo @olly_alexander x
This series saddens me to think how many innocent men lost there lives to aids. Glad Russell T Davis has brought HIV/AIDS back to the four front we must never forget those lost and keep them in our thoughts.❤️💕❤️
Luke Evans and now Callum Howells. So great to see Welsh Actors doing well. Rooting for Callum 🥳
Even though Colin's story is heartbreaking, I'm glad he got experience love with another man, even if not romantic love.
Well it’s heartbreaking because he’s experienced it
Colin deserved a real hero of a man to live his life with. 💔
I mean this love was more fatherly.
I adore Colin; Henry Coltrane, and Juan Pablo together at the table, and how they were in each others company x
Finally some Welsh representation.
I dunno, there’s lots of welsh actors. Not so many from the north
And one that’s no the token clown 🏴💪🏻
Even as an Englishman its BRILLAINT to see some welsh representation. Met so many brilliant actors from wales so the more representation they get the better honestly.
Often like to think Colins character is inspired by Pride, the story of Lesbian and gays supporting the minors on strike
Shocking the early days of misunderstanding aids and how people were treated. Heartbreaking
If this was a film it would win every main category oscar
Hopefully it will get Emmy recognition next year.
I wish that's how the academy worked
The way Collin was let go from his apprenticeship was f-cked up.
And there were HEAPS of unjust stories that happened like this - losing your job for no valid, just reason whatsoever.
"Really though...perfectly safe" 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I love
Colin will stay in my heart forever.
Mine too 💔
This series broke my heart. But it's a good story and people should know.
I was 16 when it all kicked. I was lucky. Very lucky.
Are you rampagent? Yes I’m very rampagent 🤣🤣🤣
Loved Mr Coltrane 💜
This series was excellent and like many other folks, Colin was my favourite character (although they were ALL great). There was just something so charming about Colin, you just wanted to hug and protect him. The ending of Episode 3 nearly killed me I have to say.
I've seen this scene loads of times but this is the first time i realised they was smoking on the bus. The 80s was another world.
Smoking on the bus but only upstairs on a double decker.
Didn’t stop until 1991.
Colin is my favourite, the sweetest soul... La
Colin is the best character, and Jill. La..
A fab cast and a groundbreaking series
_"Don't they bring it in?"_
_"No. They do not."_
I cried and cried when he was saying about the mould
Coltrane was definitely a angel he was a man with a heart of gold and looked after Colin yet he died with only him at his side and was abandoned by his loved ones and family I think if anything the real them of this show is kindness and love goes a long way and religious views and disdain will get you nowhere but hatred and bitterness
I liked the NPH / Mr Coltrane character. One of the early shocks for me in It's a Sin, how his illness and subsequent treatment were portrayed.
I ADORE @Nph/ Henry Coltrane and his partner x loved his "ramp agent" quip x I ADORE the camaraderie between Colin and his mentor x VEERY RAMPAGENT LOL xxxxx so moving when Colin kept going round and won't give up, and then visits him in hospital, and just those scenes seeing Mr Coltrane as a shadow of his former self, Colin being there, but sadly Nph/Mr C body placed in a soulless container, just his death just wasn't just, for some one so full of life x same as Colin"s Delirium x just incredibly heartbreaking x
So sad to think but unfortunately it was real life in the 80s.
Neil Patrick Harris: Acting Legend
He was so amazing
I loved collin so much, he was so adorable
Heartbreaking watch, especially since what happens to Colin later, too. And Henry’s death was massively affecting.
Colins mum the actress who portrayed her was amazing. Thry all were.
Not gay (not that it matters) but this virus has caused so so much heartbreak and has indirectly effected everyone.
I knew it was Neil Patrick Harris!
Very few people can do dialogue as well as Russell T. Davies.
Oh colín💔❤️
Am I the only one who thinks Neil (with that accent) could be a good Doctor Who??
How sad that they were all in denials in those days. No one knew what AIDS was. I remember that scare.
I suppose thats what i will be binging this weekend.
Make sure u have a box of tissues ready
@@miasmum001 no pun intended
- I won’t tell anyone ...
- another pint for the bender.... 😂😂😂
Have not seeing it yet .... I must 👍
I lost 90 % of my gay friends, I am alive by luck because I went to England ( London) and got the medicine on time
That accent hahahahha he tried ;))
It’s an acceptable accent.
I'm British and it sounded fine to me, pretty good I'd say. I really enjoyed his character.
Watching this back you can see how Colin is how he is, due to the abuse he suffered. Gives it a whole new look on the show.
Abuse from who?
@@mrsw8762 the guy who was in the B&B he was really aggressive to him
@@halejandrohd2955 he was enjoying it
@@halejandrohd2955 oh, i dodnt realise that, I thought he liked it and the guy was just a dick head. lol
I cried so much....
I know it sounds abit bizarre. But the best advice anyone ever gave me was. Just come out when your ready. It doesn't have to be in your 20s or 30s. It can be in ur 40s if you'd really like. Take your time. I mean phillip schofield came out in his 60s. I'm just waiting on John travolta next lol.
Bless him!
everyone should watch the hbo film adaptation of “and the band played on”.
and then the film adaptation of “the normal heart”. learn from the art of the people who were there.
Give a documentary called silver Lake the view from here a watch, too. Be warned it's horrifically sad
Yes, And The Band Played On is excellent but the book by the same name (written by Randy Shilts) is better. It gives a comprehensive chronological account of HIV/AIDS in the USA (and the shameful disgraceful way in which Ronald Reagan and his administration handled it, i.e. by doing nothing).
The Normal Heart (the play and the TV drama) are excellent and Longtime Companion.
I've read it about 5 times, it's excellent
@@monkeyman2407 Very impressive Sir. It's an excellent read - brilliant and thoroughly researched.
Okay why tf isn’t NPH in more stuff, he’s got so much range
Colin’s performance was astonishing and he ridiculously didn’t win the BAFTA for best supporting actor, which he was nominated for.
This looks so sad 😭
It’s heartbreaking 😥
It's a masterpiece
I haven't watched the show yet.
Is it ever explained why a Portuguese man is named Juan Pablo instead of João Paulo?
Well spotted. Most British people have next to no understanding of other languages. This is a bloody fantastic drama, though.
@@MrTrundle123 I feel like that applies to most non bi-lingual people. Not just British.
@@Tokiohotel192 True, I didn't mean to suggest it was an issue unique to the UK.
Iberia i think is spanish not portuguese
Yeah, I was surprised about that too...
Colin 😭😭
Barney's doing an english accent
Just here to see if NPH can do a British accent for Doctor Who
heartbreaking x
How so this is why my Gay friend keeps shouting “another pint for the bender” doing that arm action? Thats a relief
Strange to see Neil Patrick Harris in this.
Omg Barney Stinson
My only issue with this briliant series really is that the portuguese character has an undeniable spanish name. Like, if there was any confusion, it was a very dumb one because they're completly different.
I thought about that too like "what Portuguese would be called Juan Pablo??" 🤣
True
This was my one and only grievance 😂
Juan Pablo was from Argentina. His family lives in Portugal . So... there is no confusion
i like this video
Well being gay had been legal in Argentina since before the Victorian era. So makes sense his mum wouldnt care.
😭😭
I love this scene when everyone can smoke anywhere even in the bus, Now I cant smoke under the tree.. Fucek
Why did they say they expect if he was 90 or jewish or Turkish for I dont get that line ? Can someone please explain
The purple skin cancer, Classic Kaposi's sarcoma mainly affects men over the age of 50 years, generally Jewish or of Mediterranean/Eastern Europe descent, and is also known as “Mediterranean KS.” The highest incidence is observed in the Mediterranean area, especially in Sardinia and Southern Italy.
Kaposi's is explained best in a movie called and the band played on. Give it a watch ❤️
I'm watching a video about guardian angels and there are 777 likes.
A man from the Algarve called Juan Pablo....? Surely Joao Paulo...??
I felt so bad for Colin and he wasn’t even promiscuous like everyone else was. He didn’t deserve any of that.
NO one deserved any of that. No one did and no one does.
@@jimduncan5860 I know but out of everyone Colin was the most innocent and he seemed to really suffer the most.
@@TheHilikus89 You're right. I over-reacted, probably because this film made me remember how awful it all was.
@@TheHilikus89 No one deserves this wretched disease. I suppose it just depicts how sleeping with even just one person, a person infected with HIV, can lead a person to becoming ill with the Virus. I think Roscoe said it perfectly in episode 5- when speaking with her Father, “I was just lucky with who I fucked”.
Promiscuous is such a lazy term. The Gay community were only just being accepted by mainstream society and it was their time in the 70s/80s/90s to explore themselves and have fun. For centuries before 1967, it was deemed illegal to be Gay. But I do understand what you mean in reference to Colin. It was such a shock. I know you didn’t mean anything negative or derogatory by it ☺️
The laziness & prejudice of society in the Early days of HIV/AIDS makes me sick. They called AIDS - GRID. Gay Related Immunodeficiency Disease. If you were a Haemophiliac or Heterosexual, then you would get perhaps a bit of empathy or wouldn’t be blamed. But even in the early nineties, when I was a young child, I remember hearing people whispering “well he shouldn’t have slept with so many men”. It’s absolutely abhorrent.
We should look back and really reflect on the prejudice that was inflicted on these sick and dying people. Who caught the virus through no fault or their own and were judged purely on who they were attracted to. So many lessons still need to be learned about our reactions.
The horror of HIV (and the genius of how Russell T Davies tells this story) is that it makes no distinction based on your so-called perceived moral purity. Colin is the sweetest and most 'well-behaved' of all the cast, and yet succumbs to the disease in the most cruel way. I mistakenly thought 'Colin will be safe, he's not promiscuous like the rest' - not only was I wrong, but it also made me realize that I had my own unspoken internal prejudices and views towards the more promiscuous members of the group.
I can't heap enough praise on this show. As someone who came out in the early 00s, I was a little too young to really grasp the brutality of the AIDS crisis whilst still being terrified of the word. This show absolutely made it real.
Are you rampagent? 😁
What’s the town Colin is from? Pringoss? Bryngof?
Is it Llangors?
OK, got it: Bryncroes. Got a little obsessed with that as I was obsessed with the show lol.
The sad part is that it means one of them was cheating.
Or could have caught it before getting together....
@@one-day-at-a-time4134 They were together for at least a decade I think.
@@FortoFight It can stay dormant for a long time though.
@@one-day-at-a-time4134 The show begins in 1981, when the epidemic was just beginning. I don't believe that it was even spreading throughout the UK before 1979.
@@FortoFight In the UK, but didn't his partner do work that involved travelling? Maybe he caught it in another country and then settled down.
My friends don’t care. I’m lucky I didn’t die
What is his accent supposed to be?
South Wales

Title: It's A Sin | Finding your guardian angel
I see Barney making a move to fool a bimbo
NPH
Does this mean the couple cheated on each other recently?
Not necessarily because the virus can lie dormant for years before causing any problems. And, as the episode didn't delve into their relationship there's no info to say anyone had cheated. They could have had a threesome or a relationship break at some point. Nobody knows.
One or both could have had it before they lived together. So sad. 😢
Neil Patrick Harris reminds me of Freddie, same accent, coquettish poses and irreverence. Very sad.
The dangers of polygamy are real, folks.
