Callum plays sweet Colin, who arrives in London from Wales to start an apprenticeship. Speaking of the role to Attitude, he said: "I'm really excited for people to see it and for people to go on a bit of a journey. Because fundamentally, as well as being an 'Aids drama' it's the story of these characters. Off they go to London and then the universe takes them on this existential journey."
