FANS have called it the "best series ever", and last night It's A Sin received official recognition after winning Best New Drama at the National Television Awards.
The Channel 4 programme starring Years and Years star Olly Alexander, which placed the aids pandemic into the spotlight, was up against Des, Normal People and Bridgerton.
Sporting a bright neon green suit, the singer took to the stage with all the crew to collect their prize for the show which aired on TV earlier this year.
One pleased fan said: "Congratulations! Well-deserved, the series was phenomenal and a real eye opener to what went on in the 1980's to the gay community."
Another said: "This series is a total masterpiece. Funny, emotional and heartbreaking.
"You fell in love with every character. Best thing I've watched for a long time."
Another added: "Absolutely loved this drama, so beautiful done and so so moving and touching.
"Massive congratulations to the whole cast, you deserve to all be very proud of yourselves."
