Writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies (Doctor Who, It’s a Sin, Queer as Folk) was one of the big-name creatives to grace the stage at SXSW London on Friday in a keynote appearance to discuss his work and career.
But before he took the spotlight at the second edition of the event in the British capital, The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Davies at its SXSW London photo studio in Shoreditch to talk about his new five-part Channel 4 thriller-drama Tip Toe, whose first two episodes launched on Sunday.
Starring Alan Cumming as Leo and David Morrissey as Clive, the show, set amid a recent backlash against queer rights, tells the story of a bar owner in Manchester and his long-standing neighbor who become embroiled in a feud.
At its heart, Tip Toe is “about the anger of the online world creeping into the real world,” the creator told THR. A U.S. home for the show hasn’t been unveiled.
Why is this the time to tell the story of Tip Toe?
