That includes Russell T Davies’ landmark drama about the HIV epidemic It's A Sin, Jack Thorne’s game-changing single Help about the first wave of COVID; Emilia di Girolamo’s feminist slant on true crime, Deceit; Shane Meadows’ masterpiece of repressed memory in The Virtues; Charlie Covell’s darkly comic series The End Of The ****ing World, or Lucy Kirkwood’s controversial drama about the UK porn industry, Adult Material. We are also the home of Yorkshire-based returning series Ackley Bridge, which revolutionised the school drama genre, as well as award-winning, progressive soap Hollyoaks. Through drama, we are always encouraging audiences to look at the world in a new and different way.
