Tip Toe is a 2026 British television miniseries written by Russell T Davies and starring Alan Cumming and David Morrissey.
Neighbors Leo, a Canal Street gay bar owner, and Clive, an electrician with a wife and two sons, find their lives unraveling as social tensions rise. A simple request for a spare key spirals into deadly hostility, paranoia, and the dangerous radicalization in their Manchester suburb.
The show explores the effects of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric on social media, leading the neighbours to gradually become deadly enemies. As events unfurl involving Clive's son George and online conspiracy theories, the series reaches a deadly conclusion.
Tip Toe takes a far grimmer approach, proposing that not only is life still hard for queer people in the UK, but things are moving backwards, and that the hatred is reaching a deadly breaking point.
While this series is a fiction, and one that makes its arguments with sledgehammer grace, it is sadly not absurd, or abstract. Hate crimes and anti-LGBTQ violence are on the rise.
