Russell T Davies has hinted at a mysterious 'tip toe' moment in the upcoming series of Doctor Who, drawing parallels to his new Channel 4 drama of the same name. In an exclusive interview, Davies discussed how Tip Toe, starring Alan Cumming and David Morrissey, explores homophobia in modern Britain, much like his previous hit It's a Sin.
Davies described Tip Toe as 'angrier' than It's a Sin, focusing on contemporary prejudice that has evolved but not disappeared. The show follows Leo, a bar owner on Manchester's Canal Street, whose conflict with neighbour Clive escalates into a broader commentary on societal homophobia.
Alan Cumming, who plays Leo, highlighted a scene where his character reveals his HIV-positive status, calling it 'a little play within the entire' show. David Morrissey, who plays Clive, noted a scene where his character ignores Leo's truth in favour of online misinformation, encapsulating the show's themes.
Davies also teased a 'tip toe' moment in Doctor Who, suggesting a subtle but significant scene that fans should watch for. He declined to elaborate further, leaving viewers intrigued.
