Russell T Davies plans storyline for It's A Sin series two

Russell T Davies has planned out the plot for a second series of 'It's A Sin'.

The hit Channel 4 drama's executive producer Nicola Shindler has opened up about the writer's ideas for a potential second run, which would feature Jill (Lydia West) and Roscoe (Omari Douglas) in the present day as campaigners.

Speaking during a BAFTA Sessions event, she said: "There were a lot of stories about young boys being manipulated online and it was something Russell was really concerned about.

"He thought, what if you cut to the present day and Jill and Roscoe are out there to stop people doing this?

"There are so many vulnerable people that need looking after or need some kind of attention shining on them."

Nicola - who suggested Russell is keen to expand the series, which was set during the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s - explained that the showrunner had a clear idea of what the purpose of another series would be.

As reported by The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column, she added: "He just wanted to pick it up in the present day and say there are still so many people out there who need protecting. That was the point of it."

Meanwhile, the 58-year-old screenwriter previously admitted while he knew from the outset how the drama would end, he was initially undecided about the route to the finish.

He said: "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."
