Tip Toe full cast list for Channel 4 thriller series
The five-part programme will follow Leo (Cumming), a bar owner in Manchester’s gay district of Canal Street.
He ends up getting embroiled in a feud with his long-standing neighbour Clive (played by David Morrissey).
The synopsis for Tip Toe reads: “Just as life should be settling down, the world around them is growing more tense.
“Words become weapons, opinions become radicalised, and gradually, two neighbours become deadly enemies in a tense, suburban thriller which challenges everything we consider to be safe.”
Tip Toe examines rising prejudice and hate crimes towards the LGBTQ+ community.
Speaking about the show, Russell T Davies shared: “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.”
