Tip Toe: Alan Cumming and David Morrissey star in trailer
Channel 4 Tip Toe has only just arrived but already it’s taking a break from our screens.
Created by It’s A Sin and Doctor Who mastermind, Tip Toe sees gay bar owner Leo (played by Alan Cumming) and electrician Clive (David Morrissey) turn against one another after 15 years of living side by side.
But what starts out as simply not getting along turns into a far more precarious situation for both of them.

While Tip Toe focuses on prejudice and hate crimes towards the LGBTQ+ community, creator Russell T Davies believes that the same level of abuse occurs among other groups.
Speaking at the screening for the Channel 4 drama, Davies said:
“I think it’s a crisis happening day after day – and it’s anyone.
“Everyone’s being weaponised against [each other]. You could make a Jewish version of this drama, you could make a disabled version of this drama, women could make this drama.
“I see straight white men who could make this drama, feeling marginalised.
“It’s the temperature of the dialogue and the argument and the pitch of it – all driven by our phones – that’s alarming me greatly.”
Tip Top is available to watch on Channel 4.
