And one of the reasons why it's been so praised, particularly by the LGBTQ+ community, is because it reflects the community in such a positive way, through such a positive lens, which isn't done enough. [transcribed interview here]

I’m a little disappointed to see so much discourse, fandom competitiveness, and plain arguing going around at the moment in regards to queer film/TV. People complaining about too much sex, not enough sex, too cheesy, made for the hets, too happy, too sad, too realistic, too unrealistic, and a million other petty issues. I, for one, am a queer person in my 50s and I grew up with practically zero representation! Yes, we want to continue onwards and upwards with quality and varied shows BUT let’s be HAPPY we now have representation! Like, actual shows where the central characters are queer, not just a side character who gets f*cking murdered! There is room for all different types of representation - so enjoy the types you like, and let others enjoy what they like.

And on a side note: progress is progress and film/tv is a business that has to turn a profit! If some queer content is made to appeal to the straight community, and will also act as a means of reducing homophobia and increasing understanding, then that’s a good thing. That means in the future more and more content will include queer stories and representation. If only 10% (ish) of the population is the maximum target audience then shows won’t keep getting made!

There is a huge backlash all over the world right now - a “push back” by conservatives and religious groups that want to wind back the clock, and specifically the last decade of advances.

So stick together queers and LGBTQIA+ allies.

I’m super happy knowing I don’t have to wait years between content anymore. And I’ve loved all different types of shows over the last 5 years, for lots of different reasons!

Interview with the Vampire - is giving me the toxic, passionate gothic love affair I’ve always wanted. And addressing interracial relationships.

Heartstopper - is filling me up with pure joy and hopefulness for the future.

Shameless - gave me Ian and Mickey - unique, anti stereotypical gays with a tragic yet ultimately beautiful love story spanning 11 years

Lone Star 911 - is giving me TK and Carlos whose sexuality barely factors into the storyline! Yay!

Looking - gave me an authentic queer experience and an intoxicating love triangle.

Red, white and Royal Blue - gave me a sweet, cute romcom that allowed reality to be sidelined. Fun escapism!

Young Royals - had me captivated by first love and intense angst.

Fire Island - an underrated romcom that made me laugh so hard I cried.

Sex education - shoved the realities of sex in our faces and provided me with laughter and drama and a range of queer identities.

Gentlemen Jack -gave me historical lesbians with spectacular wit, and feminine power.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg- because there’s SO SO SO many more shows I could mention! Don’t at me because I didn’t mention YOUR favourite. This is my point! There is SO much great content it would take all day for me to include everything. This is just a sample - and that’s f*cking brilliant!!

So maybe we could all start posting/tweeting etc about what WE DO LIKE / LOVE / MAKES US FEEL LOVED AND SEEN and put down the device if we’ve got nothing nice to say.

Sending everyone a love filled week! 💜

Kit Connor and Joe Locke talk about Heartstopper with Philip and Holly on This Morning [28.04.22] [transcribed]

⚠️ this is spoiler-free ⚠️

Holly: This time last week our next guests were busy studying for their A Levels, but now they are global stars with legions of fans.

Phil: Joe Locke and Kit Connor are starring together in the new Netflix series Heartstopper, and there's an amazing cast that backs them up as well. It's been praised for it's uplifting message and LGBTQ+ love story.

Holly: Well, not only that, but it has become one of the few television series to be awarded a 100% fresh rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes. I don't think even Friends managed that. So, that's how incredible it is. Joe and Kit will be telling us more, but first let's take a look at Heartstopper.

****

Holly: Aw, Joe and Kit join us now. I feel like I should say... hi.

Holly, Philip, Kit, Joe: Hi.

Holly: Um, I watched it last night. It's brilliant, Phil watched it. Congratulations. I- I just don't know how you begin to process the success of this series, because like we said, a week ago it wasn't even on Netflix. In the space of a week, globally, it's just gone massive.

Joe: Yeah.

Kit: It's insane, to be honest. 'Cause it always kind of felt like our little show. You know, when we were making it, it didn't feel like this big, big thing that everyone was gonna see. So it's insane that within a week we've already sort of—

Joe: Yeah, I feel like when the first reviews came out, I was like, 'oh, I forgot it was actually gonna get reviewed', 'cause it was like our thing that we made and in Slough last year and was not really a thing, but now it's- yeah, it's crazy.

Holly: It's a big thing.

Phil: We talked about those reviews. Rotten Tomatoes 100%, uh, certified fresh, and metacritic, universal acclaim, was- was their review.

Joe: Yeah.

Phil: This is absolutely massive and the juxtaposition as Holly said is bizarre because we've put you on early today in the show, because we probably would normally have saved you 'til much, much later. You know, sort of, headline act type of thing. However, we've put you on early because you've got to go and study for your a-levels. So, life does continue, come July, you are free. Um, what about acting experience and getting the role, because we know, as far as you're concerned, Kit, I mean you have been in Rocketman and you've done other stuff. Um, but for [Joe], this was a real leap in the dark.

Joe: This, yeah, I'd not done any professional acting before. So they did an open casting course, so I think ten thousand people auditioned, and you didn't need an agent, you just sent in a self tape. And then, I got a recall, and I was like, oh, maybe- this is- this is quite cool, even if I don't get it, it's quite cool. And then I got another recall, and I was like, oh, this is what if this—

Joe & Holly: ...actually happens.

Joe: And then I ended up getting the part and it was just, like, my- just all my dreams came true.

Phil: How loud was the yell?

Joe: It was quite loud. I was on my own in my house, though, because I'm from the Isle of Man, and it was during Co**d last year, so I had to fly to London for an audition and then fly home and isolate on my own for two weeks in my house.

Holly: Oh my gosh.

Joe: So I was just on my own and my agent phoned me and was like, you got the job, and, yeah, it was just me and my dog in the house, so I screamed very loudly.

Holly: Thank God that was worth it then, wasn't it? So, um, for anybody that hasn't seen it, just explain a little bit about who you play and a bit of the storyline. Don't give too much away, though.

Joe [To Kit]: *nod* You. (I think)

Kit: I mean, it's basically a story, it's a, like a, a queer teen love story. Essentially about two boys, uh, one who's openly gay, and then one who's, sort of, seemingly straight - the sort of, stereotypical rugby, popular boy. And then, they become friends, and then it sort of slowly progresses and, and then they- sort of, what happens next—

(they talk over each other a lot here, I got annoyed, sorry)

Phil: The, um, the brilliance of it is - because it comes from, um, the uh, Alice Oseman graphic novel, and so it's really clever because those subtle moments in any, very, very early relationship are coloured here with very clever- there's- your fingers just touch and there's a little bit of lightning—

Holly: Sparks.

Phil: ...drawn in, and then there's the butterflies, that actually sometimes follow someone out of a room. And that's really clever.

Joe: Yeah, I think it's so great that we've been able to maintain the source material, and that Alice was so involved during the making and it was completely her project. It's her story, and so I think the animation was a key part from the start of the making of the series, and I think it just, it adds that level of just, you can see what the characters are feeling by just- yeah, I think- I love the animations and they're one of my favourite parts.

Holly: And one of the reasons why it's been so praised, particularly by the LGBTQ+ community, is because it reflects the community in such a positive way, through such a positive lens, which isn't done enough.

Joe: Yeah.

Kit: Yeah. Well, so much queer representation that we have in the media at the moment, is like... it's very, sort of... dark and gritty, and- and, at times very negative. And I think that it's extremely important to just show queer people being happy. And for the world to see that.

Holly: Yeah.

Phil: Well, I mean, there are so *stutters* you watch it, and there are so many points that are essential points, which are made. Um, they're a very... lucky, new relationship because there are incredible friends. There are - oh, I've gotta be (I think) so careful - there are, there are, understanding families, which are essential. Vital.

Kit: Sure.

Joe: Definitely.

Phil: Um, and an understanding teacher, and yes, there are those issues which you would expect to crop up: the bullying, the acceptance. But what it is, is enormously positive.

Joe: Yeah. I think that's one of the most important parts of it, 'cause we have shows that are showing the more gritty parts of the history of, um, queer representation, which is incredibly important. But it's equally as important to teach, especially like, younger LGBT children and teenagers who are growing up and figuring themselves out, that they deserve this love and happiness, and the positive stories are just as important and just as great.

Phil: It's very much Charlie's character, you know, one stage they are saying I don't deserved to be loved, here. (Not sure if this is fully correct)

Phil: Um, the other thing I think to point out, is that, you know, you're playing, sort of, fifteen/sixteen year old's – this is very family friendly. And—

Holly: I watched it with the kids last night and they absolutely loved it, so, really, really enjoyed it. They were trying to make me put the next episode on, I was like, 'no, got to bed'. Um—

Phil: Um, what's essential, when you watch it and think, this is a great conduit to have that conversation at home. It should be played in all schools. Um, but, it's- it's been used by some fans, to help them come out to their parents, hasn't it.

Kit: Yeah, I mean, there was a beautiful tweet that came out, that um, from a Heartstopper fan days after the show came out. And it was basically talking about, after showing their parents a scene, like quite an important scene in the show, nearer the end of the show, with my character. It- they essentially used that to come out to their parents. Which I think is like, one of the most- I mean, uh, for me, that's the most gratifying moment in my career, ever.

Holly: Yeah.

Kit: Um, and for an eighteen year old, to be able to have that kind of effect on anyone's life, is like, unbelievable.

Holly: So special. But not only that, sort of older fans, saying that they wish that there was programs like this on TV when they were younger.

Joe: I read a review that was talking about how it felt so joyous watching it, but also this sort of, sense of melancholy, because they didn't have this show when they were younger, they didn't have such a positive representation of them, when they were younger. Which I think is just, sort of, heartbreaking and heart-making at the same time.

Phil: Well, it's also a world- it's the world that you want it to be. You want every reaction, and yes there are bullying issues that are tackled in this, but you, you sort of want that friendship group, you want that acceptance, um, in every school, in every life. And there's- there's no question that this is- this is the perfect view, that not everybody who has these internal issues, um, is going to get such a positive reaction.

Kit: Mm.

Joe: Yeah. Yeah. I think it's so wonderful that we've been able to create this story, because... there isn't anything like it. It's so unique, and it's so... beautiful. Which I think is great. And also, it may be aimed at a younger audience, but that doesn't mean that it not universally watchable. It's definitely not a children's show, I think is one thing we wanted to make sure when we were making it. It may be aimed at a younger audience, but it's—

Holly: It's a 12, isn't it? So—

Joe: Yeah, it's a 12.

Phil: And Kit, did you make Olivia Colman cry?

Kit: Well, there's- there's this scene where-where, we're sort of, talking about my experiences in the show and things like that, and um, we normally, sort of- before every scene we, sort of read it through about 50%. You know, you don't go 100% all the way. And, um... yeah, we were just reading it through and then suddenly... uh, Olivia just sort of started crying. And I was, at first I was thinking, God, like, you know, she's just really good, like I need to step up my game massively here.

*Phil, Holly & Joe laugh*

Kit: Like, no, I was really, like, worried at that point, so then, um, I think other people sort of then told me afterwards, it was just because, the sort of scene is so- it's such a beautifully written scene, and like, such a- a crucial part in so many people's lives. And I think it, sort of really touched her. But, yeah, I was just scared, to be honest. I was, really—

Phil: She's lovely, though.

Kit: Oh, she's absolutely, just the most lovely person in the world, yeah.

Holly: Um, I'm so excited for both of you, and the kind of career you've both got in front of you, and all of this- thank you—

Joe: Thank you.

Kit: Thank you so much.

Holly: ... for what was a brilliant series. Good luck with your exams.

Joe: Thank you.

Kit: Yeah, we'll need it.

Joe: We're gonna need it, yeah.

Phil: I mean, it's mad, actually. You are sitting on the edge of this whole thing exploding. You haven't got any other interviews today, because you've got your exams coming up and you're studying. Um, it launched on Friday, and it's massive. I mean, it's like one of those moments, and we love having those moments- so people sit on the sofa here, and you think, it's never gonna be the same for them. I mean, this is a big, big moment. Enjoy it.

Joe: Yeah. Thank you so much.

Kit: Thank you so much.

Phil: Well done. Well done.

Holly: Thank you.

Phil: Heartstopper is on Netflix now. Absolutely watch it.

I've never seen as much actual popular and mainstream content with M/M leads as we're experiencing right now. What a stark difference from the gloomy days of The Boys in the Band and That Certain Summer.

Here's hoping for more!
