Russell T Davies’s drama Tip Toe imagined a Britain where prejudice curdles into violence between neighbours. Comedians Mark T Cox and Denis Len, of Your Internet Boyfriends, couldn’t stop thinking about it, and built a new mini-series around one question: could this actually happen?
Leslie Clarke sits down with Mark and Denis to talk about breaking format for something serious, the political mood for LGBTQ+ people in the UK right now, Reform-run councils quietly pulling Pride displays, the friends who think Pride isn’t needed any more, and the uneasy splits opening up within their own community. Funny, candid, and more urgent than either of them expected it to be.
