What can TV teach L&D? Ep. 2 – It’s a Sin

Here is a transcript of Ep.2 – It’s a Sin.

Hi everyone, my name’s Tom Hickmore and in this episode of “What can TV teach L&D?” I’m looking at It’s a Sin.

I make drama for learning, so I’m taking popular TV drama and looking at it with an analytical eye, asking “What can we learn from this that we can be applied in the field of learning and development?”

It’s a Sin is Channel Four’s drama series about the coming of AIDS to the UK told through the experience of a group of young gay men and their woman friend.  This is an issue drama, and most learning and development drama is issue drama, to there’s a lot we can learn here.

This drama isn’t a simple hero’s journey, although there is one character who’s more central than the rest.  We follow the story of several young men.  So, it’s more of a collective hero.  But the unifying element to the whole story, is the story of the disease – the issue.
