Lost Boys & Fairies
2024
Lost Boys and Fairies (2024) is 3 part British television series about adoption.
The series has been created by Welsh playwright and screenwriter, Dafydd James, who drew from his own experience of adopting with his husband.
In Lost Boys and Fairies, Gabriel (Sion Daniel Young) & Andy (Fra Free) are a gay couple who have been together for 8 years. With the support of social worker Jackie (Elizabeth Berrington) they begin the adoption process, meeting and growing fond of Jake, a boy currently in foster care.
Said Daf James in an interview (https://www.bbc.co.uk/writers/blog/lost-boys-and-fairies):
“It's important for me to put this story on screen because it's a queer, bilingual, Welsh/English drama about adoption on the BBC, which absolutely blows my mind. If somebody would have told me that as a kid that this kind of representation was going to be in the mainstream in this way, I wouldn't have believed it. This will be the most Welsh you’ve ever heard in a primetime BBC drama.”
