Russell T Davies
Ask any gay man of a certain age about his life, and Russell T Davies’ ground-breaking 1999 drama Queer as Folk will almost certainly get at least an honourable mention. “Barely a week goes by without someone coming up and telling me they wanked off to my work,” laughs the 56-year-old writer and producer. “Not many writers get that, I’m very proud of it.”
