Release of Russell T Davies' Tip Toe miniseries

Overview

The drama miniseries ‘Tip Toe’, written by Russell T Davies and directed by Peter Hoar, is set in Manchester and follows the deteriorating relationship between two neighbors, Leo and Clive. The five-part series stars Alan Cumming as Leo, a queer bar owner, and David Morrissey as Clive, an electrician.

Scheduled to premiere on STARZ in the United States and Canada on 2 October, with weekly Friday releases, the series will also stream on HBO Max in France and Germany. Produced by Quay Street Productions, the narrative depicts a descent from a simple key-exchange into violence and mistrust.

The story explores themes of identity, sexuality, and social backlash, specifically focusing on how Clive is radicalized by internet ideologies regarding Brexit, pandemic measures, and the LGBTQ+ community, eventually leading to a hate crime. Utilizing a mix of comedy and tragedy, the series uses flashbacks to trace the breakdown of the neighbors' long-term coexistence and explores the threat to social progress against a backdrop of rising intolerance and totalitarian ideas. The production also features characters such as Clive’s sons, George and Saul, to further examine themes of identity.
