Andy, a character in Lost Boys & Fairies, played by Fra Fee, represents a positive portrayal of a gay man on screen, which was a significant opportunity for the actor.
Adoption is portrayed as both ordinary and extraordinary, with government figures showing a stark contrast between looked-after children and actual adoptions.
