Details: Directly explores the queer narratives present throughout Russell T Davies' extensive work in television and how he broke down barriers to show the truth and joy of queer identities.
The television writing of Russell T Davies defies easy categorization, ranging from children's programs, Shakespeare, historical drama, and comedy, to the landmark series that have made him a household name: Queer As Folk, Doctor Who, and It's a Sin. Gay Aliens and Queer Folk takes a deep dive into the queer narratives Davies has brought to our screens, exploring how each work created new space for LGBTQ+ stories to enter our living rooms and looks at their impact on the people who saw themselves reflected on mainstream television, often for the first time. Covering Davies' career from his earliest work to his highly anticipated return to the TARDIS for Doctor Who's 60th anniversary, and highlighting key themes such as politics, sex, AIDS, and the role of Wales in his writing, Emily Garside reveals how Davies broke down barriers, showing gay characters unapologetically living their lives to the fullest and celebrating the complexity and joy of queer identities.
