Resumo

This article focuses on the significance of the title of Russell T. Davies’s 2021 TV show, It’s a Sin . Provisionally titled ‘Boys’, ‘It’s a Sin’ was chosen instead after the 1987 single by the Pet Shop Boys. What networks of meaning did this citation create, both intentional and incidental? This article traces narratives of sin and redemption from the Pet Shop Boys, via Derek Jarman, to Russell T. Davies and Years & Years – the music project of Olly Alexander, who starred in the series as one of its lead characters, Ritchie Tozer.
