While her friends were dying from AIDS, Jill tried her best to understand and learn about the virus ItsASinTV BAFTA
It's A Sin broke new ground as a British show telling the story of a group of young gay men living their lives during the so-called AIDS/HIV crisis that swept the country in the 80s/90s.
While It's A Sin is filled with plenty of emotional moments, many viewers may be surprised to learn that a lot of its characters are inspired by real-life people. At the time, rumours were spreading of a 'gay flu' spreading through the population and 'coming from the states'. She told the BBC: "Nobody really knew anything but we heard it was killing young, fit, healthy gay men."
Jill explained that while her friend knew he was HIV positive for four years he told nobody until he couldn't hide it anymore. On one occasion she was forced to call hospitals all across the area after her friend didn't turn up to go out.
