Russell T Davies

Russell T Davies, this one’s for you. From Queer as Folk and It’s a Sin, all the way back to Children’s Ward in 1993, Russell T Davies has been telling stories about HIV, queer lives, stigma, sex, shame and joy for decades. So obviously, Sarah and Jess decided it was about time we dedicated an episode to him! Plus, with his new memoir The Queerest of Folk: A Life in Television on the way, the timing couldn’t be better. Expect nostalgia, iconic telly, HIV history, lots of Russell T Davies love and, because it’s us, probably an unnecessary tangent or two.
