From Doctor Who to Tip Toe, Queer as Folk to Coronation Street, Britain’s foremost television writer and showrunner takes us behind the scenes of some of the nation’s most beloved programmes.
In The Queerest of Folk, Russell T Davies traces his remarkable career in television, from his early days working on children’s shows and soaps through to the giddy heights of relaunching Doctor Who, and the queer stories that challenged what the mainstream screen dared to show.
With warmth, humour and glorious candour, Davies opens the door to his extraordinary imagination: what it is to feel the spark of ideas popping into your head, the flood and burn of characters coming to life. Alongside this comes the daily craft of television-making – the meetings and pitches, the arguments and the compromises, and the frustration and sheer exhilaration of a career that has spanned five decades.
This is a memoir fizzing with love for television and the power it has to draw us together in an increasingly fragmented world.
