On July 6, 2026, acclaimed screenwriter Russell T Davies announced he is developing a new TV project, although he admitted he is unsure if it will be successful. Speaking at the Attitude Pride Awards, Davies highlighted the ongoing challenges faced by the LGBT community, while also noting their ability to discover new joys.
Davies' Latest Work: Tip Toe
Davies' recent series, Tip Toe, explores the escalating conflict between a gay bar owner and a struggling electrician. The show, inspired by current societal issues, reflects that the problems depicted are not exclusive to the LGBT community. He stated, "the violence and problems that arise in Tip Toe could apply to almost any group." This sentiment echoes the themes from his previous works.
Tip Toe follows the success of Davies' award-winning series It's a Sin, which showcased the experiences of friends during the HIV/Aids crisis in the 1980s. The show gained significant attention, leading to a reported increase in HIV testing by the Terrence Higgins Trust following its release.
Ongoing Themes in Davies' Work
Davies expressed his commitment to continue exploring issues relevant to the LGBT community. He remarked, "I think if I can write this stuff forever, then I will. I’m already planning a new one." He emphasized his dedication to the community, stating, "My life is this community and I love writing about it, talking about it, thinking about it. It’s who I am." This ongoing dedication allows him to continually find new things to say about the community.
The Future of Doctor Who
In addition to his new project, Davies confirmed he will be leaving Doctor Who, where he played a pivotal role in its revival in 2005. He announced that a new Christmas special has been canceled as the BBC prepares for the next phase of the show. Reflecting on his departure, he stated, "It’s goodbye from me but hello to a big new future for the show." As he looks ahead, Davies expressed excitement for the unpredictable future of Doctor Who.
