It's A Sin centres around Ritchie, Roscoe and Coli, who move in with friends Ash and Jill which they call the ‘Pink Palace’.
While the series isn’t directly based on a true story, creator Russell T Davies previously said he drew on his own experiences.
He said: "A lot of it is based on myself, people I know and stories that people have told me from over the decades, just bits and odds from all over the place.
"I was 18 in 1981, a lot of my friends went to live in London... and moved into a big flat in Hampstead and they called it the 'Pink Palace'.
"A lot of the dialogue was there, the jokes and their rhythms and stuff like that."
Russell also said the character of Colin is inspired by one of his ex-boyfriends, telling Metro: “He was someone I went out with in the 90s who trained to be a tailor and went to New York to fit lords and ladies with their suits and gowns – beautiful man."
