Dale and Helen are flying, publicly and professionally, until Dale interviews a woman who is HIV positive, and it goes horrendously wrong, Dale begins to Question his sexuality.
This show is going from strength to strength, they've dealt with all manner of things throughout this series, we've had terrorism, Lindy Chamberlain, and now The HIV story, a story that rocked the whole world.
It's another great episode, the previous episode was high quality, this was even better, it's capturing not just the stories and visuals of the era, but the actual vibe and feelings, people were terrified of HIV, the press didn't understand what it was about, rightly so people were scared, it led to all sorts of prejudices and misconception, it was journalists like Helen, that helped break down the barriers.
The scene where Helen interviews Russ was incredibly powerful, it made for some quite powerful, thought provoking TV, hard to watch at times.
Evelyn continues to be such an interesting character, definitely more than a touch of The Lady Macbeth's about her.
9/10.
