See moreFrom beloved British TV writer, this is a memoir of a life in television, from Chucklevision to Doctor Who, by way of Queer as Folk and It's a Sin.
Britain's foremost TV writer and showrunner takes us through his life in television, and behind the scenes on some of our favourite shows.
The Queerest of Folk distils Russell T Davies's career in television, taking us from his early days working on children's shows and soaps through to the giddy heights of relaunching Doctor Who and bringing queer relationships onto the mainstream screen.
We're offered a glimpse into the imagination of one of Britain's most celebrated writers - what it is to feel the spark and flood and burn of ideas popping into your head - coupled with the day-to-day business of meetings and pitches, the frustrations and the hoots, over a career that has spanned five decades.
This is a memoir fizzing with a love for television and the power it has to draw us together in an increasingly fragmented world.
