Russell T Davies has revealed a surprising detail from his script for the groundbreaking drama It\u2019s A Sin<\/a> that couldn\u2019t be shown on screen.<\/p>\n Speaking during a panel discussion celebrating the show as part of the BFI & Radio Times Television Festival<\/strong>, Davies explained how the memorable scene that sees Omari Douglas\u2019 character Roscoe leave home was deliberately written to take place on a specific date.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a nice detail in the script that we could never put on screen,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere was no way of doing it. But the scene where Roscoe leaves home, where he faces his parents and tells them to find him at 23 P**s Off Avenue London W F**k and he walks out into the rain \u2013 that is the day that Beyonce was born. There\u2019s no way of saying that on screen, but it was the fourth of September 1981.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRoscoe was doing the groundwork for Beyonce basically,\u201d Douglas added.<\/p> Speaking more specifically about that scene, Douglas explained why he thought the character\u2019s choice of language when addressing his family worked so well in the script.<\/p>\n \u201cIt felt like that kind of thing, I don\u2019t know why I just sort of was reminded of when you\u2019re young and you just suddenly feel like that you\u2019ve got this urge to \u2013even though you shouldn\u2019t \u2013 to kind of like stand up to your elders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd something comes out, and it might not necessarily be the most eloquent thing, but you just say it anyway. It could be a bit awkward and horrible, it sort of felt like that.\u201d<\/p>\n Russell T Davies, Callum Scott Howells, Omari Douglas, David Carlyle and Jill Nalder talk about the unforgettable #ItsASin<\/a> at #TVFest<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RScgh1SRgR<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Radio Times (@RadioTimes) May 21, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
