Gay Aliens and Queer Folk

The television writing of Russell T. Davies defies easy categorisation, ranging from children's programmes, across Shakespeare, historical drama and comedy, to the landmark series that have made him a household name: 'Queer As Folk', 'Doctor Who' and 'It's a Sin'. 'Gay Aliens and Queer Folk' takes a deep dive into the queer narratives Russell T. Davies has brought to our screens, exploring how each work created new space for LGBTQ+ stories to enter our living rooms and looking at their impact on the people who saw themselves reflected on mainstream television, often for the first time.
