OHMYGOSSIP — Russell T Davies “always knew” where ‘It’s a Sin’ “was heading”.
The 58-year-old screenwriter knew from the outset how the Channel 4 drama would end – but he was initially undecided about the route to the finish.
Russell told the Radio Times: “I just always knew there would be a Jill and I always know it would simply end – I wasn’t exactly sure what would happen in the story, but I knew whatever happened in the story would end with her going back on a ward to sit with a stranger.
“I thought that was the important thing. Not many friends, not many family – actually strangers are there.”
Russell was keen to show the “gang at their happiest and their funniest” during the show, despite the serious subject matter.
He said: “There were versions of that scene and then to flashback at the very end to see that gang at their happiest and their funniest, just laughing on a park bench like you do when you’re young. They’re just 22, 23 years old there. Those are the best times, those are really good times.”
Despite this, Russell admitted that creating his vision was “hard work”.
He shared: “The moment I sat at this desk and typed page one, scene one, episode one – I knew that’s where it was heading. It’s the getting there that’s hard work.”
The hit TV series starred Years and Years singer Olly Alexander and he previously described working on the show as an “amazing experience”.
He said: “I was so happy – because I’ve been on the road touring for five, six years – that I got to do ‘It’s a Sin’; that kind of discipline and working on such a big team like that, on a script like that, for a show like that, was such an amazing experience.”
