Davies memoir reveals Queer As Folk working title was Queer As Fuck

Russell T Davies says Queer As Folk, his 1999 British broadcaster Channel 4 drama, was originally to be called Queer As Fuck. The claim appears in The Queerest of Folk: A Life in Television, published in hardback by Bantam on 8 October 2026. A publicist warned Richard and Judy could never discuss a show with that title, The Guardian reports.
