* TheBeard: Jill is this for Ritchie when visiting his parents around Christmas.
* GoodTimesMontage: Showing the lives of young English gay men and the club scene in the last days of the pre-AIDS 80s in the first episode.
* IncurableCoughOfDeath: Henry refers to Juan's mysterious new illness as being primarily a cough.
* TragicAIDSStory: A very passionate and charged one from Russell T. Davies who is credited as being one of the writers to have bought LGBT stories and characters to British TV in the 90s with ''Queer As Folk'', so naturally the tragic aspect is interwoven with moments of joy and liveliness.
