Our prices are subject to demand. More info Russell T Davies has never been interested in making television that plays it safe. From the moment Queer as Folk exploded onto screens in 1999, he rewired what British drama could look like, who it could be for, and whose stories deserved to be told. He brought queer relationships onto the mainstream screen with Doctor Who. And with It?s a Sin, he gave the AIDS crisis the reckoning it had always deserved. Now, Russell is taking us inside the rooms where it all happened. Expect the real story behind the shows: the creative arguments, the commissions that almost didn?t happen, and the scenes that changed television. He will talk about the spark of an idea and what it takes to follow it all the way to broadcast. He will reflect on how queer lives moved from the margins to the mainstream, what it cost, and what it meant. And he will open the floor to your questions, so come ready.
