Lost Boys and Fairies – BBC

Sion Daniel Young is also in it, he's done a few things like Deceit, Witness Number 3 and the voiceover of my Mum's favourite show Clean It, Fix It. He's done a fair bit of theatre as well.

It starts tonight at 9.00 on BBC 1 , although all episodes are on iplayer now

Wow ok it gets better and better. This is up there with 'all of us strangers' for me.

Runs the gauntlet of emotions

I really enjoyed episode 1 so I ended up watching the other 2 episodes as well. A real emotional rollercoaster of a story with 2 terrific performances from Fra Fee and Sion Daniel Young.

Fra Fee is really starting to remind me of Kit Harrington (jon snow era) looks wise. Really noticed it watching this. But I think Fra is the stronger actor.

I don't usually binge watch programmes but I've had to do it with this. It's stunning.
The music segments were beautiful (as a massive Erasure fan, the cover in ep 2 was one of the best I've heard) and I actually got pretty emotional as I recognised the bar that the guys go to on their 'last night of freedom' was the first gay bar I used to frequent.

Only part way into the first episode and loving it so much.

Am in a heightened emotional state for a whole range of reasons but this is a beautiful piece of writing with really sensitive portrayals of well rounded characters.

Cried twice so far

I probably should wait a while then

Things are not great for me and mine right now!

So currently both my television and personal laptop are broken and I'm having to watch everything on my work laptop via the i-Player and this keeps coming up on the homepage, so today I sat down and watched all three episodes.

Gosh, that was a bit emosh, was it not?

Although it's not something I would normally do, I did find myself wiping away a few tears.

I could see the similarities with Torch Song Trilogy but I though this was a beautifully acted and well written piece.

(Believe it or not) this is the first thing that I've seen Fra Free in. It is my understanding that he has a lot of tattoos and, as referenced in a previous post, it's interesting that in the few shirtless scenes has was in that they chose to cover them.

I think it was great that both actors retained their natural accents. Although I can understand what they're saying, I find that I need to train my ear and really have to listen to the Welsh accent.

I was watching and was wondering how much time they had to spend getting to know each other in rehearsals to make the fact that these two guys were in love look so believable.

It was also interesting to see Gabriel's relationship with his father play out. I particularly like the funeral scenes.

On the surface, it would appear the Andy was the stronger driving force, the most determined of the two but, despite his set backs, in his own way, Gabriel came into his own.

Sharon. D. Clarke was excellent, as ever. Strong and confident.

However I thought the actress they brought in to play the little boy's mother was outstanding. Whether intentionally or not, for me, she stole every scene she was in.

This was a great watch. Was this all filmed in Wales?

You know I had this random thought over the weekend; they really did pack a lot of story (and emotional punch) into only three episodes!
