Thank you for the reminder about Jarman, there’s a line in Blue where he narrates ‘it’s the uncertainty’ referring to the worst bit about the HIV virus, and that resonates with the early days of COVID. I’ve not watched the documentary on iPlayer yet, but I’m looking forward to it how I’ve re-listened to Blue.

Another artist you have introduced me to Victoria. I'm not familiar with Jarman's art, but I've just listened to Blue end to end (in bed not on the sofa). There was a moment half way through that made me weep. I am based in the UK so will watch the BBC doc you talk about, sounds really interesting. I' I was aware of the AIDS epidemic but was a child in the 80s so a lot of it passed me by. Thanks for all this, such an interesting post.
