Doctor Who” and “Queer as Folk” writer Russell T Davies teased his upcoming Channel 4 drama “Tip Toe” at Series Mania on Wednesday, calling it “very much a reaction to where we are now.”

“Tip Toe” stars Alan Cumming and David Morrissey as feuding neighbors in Manchester and “explores contemporary threats facing the LGBTQ+ community” through their story. During a keynote address at Series Mania alongside producing partner Nicola Shindler — in which the powerful trailer for “Tip Toe” was unveiled — Davies said the series is a “reaction” to “where politics is heading, where all of us are heading, the anger that’s in the world now.”
