Tip Toe followed Davies’ award-winning series It’s a Sin, about friends living in London during the HIV\/Aids crisis in the 1980s.<\/p>\n

Starring pop star Olly Alexander, the show became an instant hit, with sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust also reporting a surge in HIV testing after its launch.<\/p>\n

It also follows in the footsteps of Davies’ Queer as Folk series, also set in Manchester, which depicted three characters living in the city’s Gay Village in a frank, funny and explicit way that had not been seen on UK TV before.<\/a><\/p>\n

Davies said he would “always find new things to say” about the LGBT community, with “new things to learn”. <\/p>\n

He said: “My life is this community and I love writing about it, talking about it, thinking about it. It’s who I am.<\/p>\n

“As a community, we keep on expanding, we keep facing new threats and keep finding new joys.”<\/p>\n

Last month, Davies confirmed he would leave Doctor Who as it was announced a new Christmas special had been cancelled while the BBC plans the next phase of the sci-fi show.<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time, the TV producer, who helped revive the long-running show in 2005, said it was “goodbye from me but hello to a big new future for the show”.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of London’s Pride weekend, Davies said the show’s future was “unpredictable and new” and that he was “excited to see what comes next”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tip Toe followed Davies’ award-winning series It’s a Sin, about friends living in London during the HIV\/Aids crisis…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-677931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=677931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
