Queer As Folk: The Scripts

by Russell T. Davies

"Queer as Folk" is the story of three gay guys, their families and friends. The exploits of Stuart, Vince and Nathan covered many of the thornier problems in life, such as cleaning up your loft apartment after a wild party, how you should react when your mum wants to come clubbing with you, and the perils of being the ultimate social outcast - a Doctor Who fan. This title contains the complete unexpurgated scripts from the first series, and includes scenes that were never transmitted.

Reviews

Recently, my Chanel Four feed threw up this classic turn of the century series from Russell T Davies and I thoroughly enjoyed re-watching. This book is the series 1 scripts and a real masterclass in succinct, witty, fast moving character led dramatic writing. Interesting to see how little was cut in the making (and nearly all lines which would have shown up Stuart's less attractive characteristics!)

This is brilliant! Makes me want to watch the show even more.
