The South Bank Show
SKY ARTS, 8.00PM
An appreciation of Russell T Davies, the TV writer who has played a considerable part in changing the face of TV drama in Britain. From the landmark Queer as Folk in 1999 to 2015’s Cucumber,
Banana and Tofu, Davies has given us an emotionally honest and often very graphic account of gay life. But he’s a populist, too, as his triumphant revival of
Doctor Who proves. Here, he talks about his influences, motivation and finding believable characters.
