Excited ?
I loved Queer as Folk and most of Cucumber.. but most of his recent stuff has been far too pantomime/preachy imho. Especially that BBC1 thing last year.

I liked his turn as showrunner for Doctor Who. If I remember correctly, you didn't.

I did at first. Towards the end of his run it all got a bit silly.

There was a Swedish series along similar lines. So it’s not all that original.
I’d like to think he could make a new twist of it, but I doubt it.
I’m not terribly fond of gays being cast as deviants, or AIDS-riddled freaks either. Even if a lot of community links were formed, or bonded in those days.
Holding the Man was different - that was based on an autobiography and a love story.

Don't Ever Wipe Tears is utterly amazing.
I don't expect this to be in the same league.

I’m looking forward to this as liked QaF and Cucumber.
I see Callum Scott Howells is in it - he was on some singing show a few years back I think. Quite an attractive guy.
