Fear, shame and loneliness are way more dreadful than AIDS itself.
When Colin lying on the hospital bed, said how he fancied Ritchie, like the wanking things, I thought his condition led that. While Ritchie came back hometown and told Martin, the boy whom he had a crush on for years, his lust and desire, I realized that Colin might just be real himself at a time after being good all his life. The most touching scene of the series is Ritchie danced ballet gracefully in front of Martin. At least Martin is kind-hearted, even though the two of them share different lifestyle preference.
