Russell T Davies' 'Tip Toe' Drama Stars Alan Cumming & David Morrissey
Russell T Davies, who made the popular show 'It's a Sin', is creating a new drama called 'Tip Toe'.
It stars Alan Cumming and David Morrissey as neighbors who become enemies because of growing prejudice around them.
They have lived next to each other in Manchester for 15 years, but things get tense as the world changes.
The show is like a mix of Davies' older shows 'Queer as Folk' and 'Years and Years'.
It's being made by Quay Street Productions and will be shown on Channel 4 in 2026.
Davies says it's one of the best things he's ever written, and he's very excited for people to see it.
