Channel 4 It's A Sin fans 'shocked and upset' as show 'robbed' of BAFTA wins

Fans have said they were left ‘shocked and upset’ after It’s A Sin was ‘robbed’ of winning any awards at last night's BAFTA's ceremony.

Viewers expected the hard hitting Channel 4 show, which used parts of Liverpool to double up as New York City for filming, to sweep the board after it was announced at the end of the March the show had bagged a total of 11 nominations.
