FANS of hit show It’s A Sin were upset during Sunday night’s BAFTA ceremony as the sound was “muted” out of clips from the programme.

The miniseries, which follows a group of gay friends in London living through the 1980s Aids crisis, has been a hit with critics and members of the public, with TV journalist Scott Bryan describing the show as “one of the most necessary, powerful life-affirming dramas in recent years”.
