Tip Toe is set to be a powerful new thriller series by Russell T Davies who previously created emotional drama It’s A Sin which told the human story of the 1980s AIDS crisis. His latest project Tip Toe will look at the threats and prejudice still faced by the LGBTQ+ community in modern society.
Set in Manchester’s gay village around Canal Street - also the setting for Russell's 1999 drama Queer As Folk — the tense thriller follows two next-door neighbours who become deadly enemies as the ever-changing world turns them against one another. Being made 25 years on from Queer As Folk, which followed three gay men from Manchester, he is once again looking at the corrosive forces the LGBTQ+ community is coming up against as prejudice creeps back into their lives.
