Russell T Davies may be very busy right now with Doctor Who<\/a> and any potential spin-offs<\/a> that could be on the way, but he has already given viewers a sense of the sort of project he will likely make next, after he moves on from the show once more.<\/p>\n

Alongside his work on Doctor Who, Davies is perhaps best known for his work on LGBTQ+ dramas<\/a> such as Queer as Folk, Cucumber, Banana and It\u2019s a Sin \u2013 and it seems he will be returning to the topic in his next project.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a BAFTA event, A Life in Pictures: Russell T Davies, hosted by Briony Hanson, Davies said: \u201cIt\u2019s not so much that there\u2019s unexplored topics, but the topics I do write about keep changing \u2013 like being a gay man or being a queer person in society is changing now.<\/p>\n

\u201cTen years ago, or even [when we did] Queer as Folk 25 years ago, we were on the up, it was like, \u2018Good times are here.\u2019 Now they\u2019re absolutely not. That wave coming from America where they\u2019re trying to have legislation banning drag queens\u2026 that\u2019s absolutely going to come here.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe might get a Labour government in the next couple of years, [but] that just means we\u2019ll have a very right-wing government after that. They\u2019re all waiting. They\u2019ve started the conversation in this country about banning abortion, it\u2019s started. It\u2019s started already amongst that right wing.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I think our rights are paper thin. The world is becoming unsafe, so I will always keep writing about that, I will always keep writing about male gay-ness, if people will have me!\u201d<\/p>\n
