New Davies Drama: Neighbors Turn Deadly Enemies

First look images have emerged for Russell T Davies' upcoming Channel 4 drama, "Tip Toe," starring Alan Cumming and David Morrissey. The series centers on Leo and Clive, two vastly different men who have been neighbors in Manchester for nearly fifteen years. As the world around them becomes increasingly volatile, their relationship transforms from cordial coexistence into a dangerous animosity.

This tense suburban thriller is an urgent exploration of prejudice and radicalization, examining how deeply held opinions can become weapons in everyday life. Channel 4 describes the show as a pertinent commentary on the creeping return of divisive attitudes within society. Davies himself has hailed "Tip Toe" as "the strongest thing I've written."

Four years after his acclaimed "It's a Sin," Davies returns to his Manchester roots for "Tip Toe," a project he likens to a blend of his cult classic "Queer as Folk" and his futuristic "Years and Years." The series is in the final stages of production, with Davies expressing excitement for its 2026 debut on Channel 4, praising the exceptional performances from its cast.
