In 2021, screenwriter and producer Russell T Davies based the character of Jill Baxter in his Channel 4 television miniseries It’s A Sin, on Nalder’s life at the time. Nalder and Davies first met at the age of 14 while performing in youth theatre in West Glamorgan in Wales and remained friends thereafter. She shared her life stories with Davies as he was developing his script. The Hampstead flat Nalder shared with three fellow students during the 1980s inspired the “Pink Palace” flat in the series. The character is played by Lydia West, whilst Nalder plays her mother Christine Baxter.

Jill will be joined by actors David Carlyle and Ken Christiansen from “It’s A Sin” and actor/activist Jon Osbaldeston will serve as host. Following the event, there will be a book signing and meet & greet with the cast.

Tonic is a community-led not for profit organisation.

Tonic was established in 2014 to address the issues of loneliness and isolation of older LGBT+ people and the need for specific housing and support provision as there was none in the UK before 2021.
