A first-look at Channel 4’s new Russell T Davies drama Tip Toe has emerged.<\/p>\n

The upcoming show<\/a> stars Alan Cumming and David Morrissey<\/a> as two neighbours in Manchester who “become deadly enemies” amid an increasingly “tense” world.<\/p>\n

New filming pictures have now emerged of Cumming as the “vivid, funny and dynamic” Leo, who owns a bar in Manchester’s gay village. The character is seen donning a leather jacket and sporting a moustache.<\/p>\n

The series follows him and neighbour Clive (Morrissey), “who have lived next door to each other in Manchester for almost 15 years”.<\/p>\n

“But just as life should be settling down, the world around them is growing more tense,” the official synopsis adds. <\/p>\n

“Words become weapons, opinions become radicalised, and gradually, two neighbours become deadly enemies in a tense, suburban thriller which challenges everything we consider to be safe.” <\/p>\n

Tip Toe is touted as “an urgent tale that brings a spotlight to bear on the prejudices which are creeping back into our lives”, and explores the “corrosive forces facing the LGBTQ+ community today”.<\/p>\n

Other cast members joining the pair include Moonflower Murders’ Pooky Quesnel, Masters of the Air’s Jackson Connor, The Map That Leads To You’s Joseph Evans, Lost Boys and Fairies’ Elizabeth Berrington, Hollyoaks’ Iz Hesketh, Wednesday’s Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, Saltburn’s Paul Rhys, Doctor Who’s Charlie Condou, Waterloo Road’s Denise Welch, and Shakeel Kimotho.<\/p>\n

“This is a show I had to write because the world is getting stranger, tougher and darker, and frankly, the fight is on,” said It’s a Sin creator and writer Davies of the project.<\/p>\n

Cumming added: “The best things in life are worth waiting for, and the best people. Russell T Davies and I have been trying to work together for over 20 years.<\/p>\n

“Now, not only are we working together but doing so with one of my dearest, oldest friends, Dave Morrissey, and in a piece of work I think is so brilliant and prescient and necessary. I don\u2019t say this lightly, but this is truly an honour.”<\/p>\n

Tip Toe will air on Channel 4.<\/p>\n

The new edition of Living Legends is here! Buy Gaga in newsagents or online<\/a>, priced at just \u00a38.99.
