The BBC have released a trailer for upcoming series Lost Boys and Fairies.
It’s described as a tender, glittering story of singer and artiste-extraordinaire Gabriel, his partner Andy and their journey to adoption.
Together with his partner, Andy, Gabe longs to adopt a child and to do so they must convince their social worker Jackie that they’re up to the task.
But Gabe is masking his demons: the effects of decades of shame having grown up in a society that overwhelmingly treated being gay as a sin; shame which Gabe is still processing.
At stake is the couple’s relationship, their joint and individual happiness and seven year old Jake whgo longs to be part of a family.
Take a look at the trailer.
