Queer as Folk
The 1999 British television series Queer as Folk follows the lives of three homosexual men residing in Manchester's gay town around Canal Street. Russell T Davies is the author of both Queer as Folk and Queer as Folk 2. As part of Channel 4's 25th birthday festivities, More 4 rebroadcast the first season from October 14 to October 18, 2007. Queer as Folk was produced for Channel 4 by Red Production Company. The title of the show is derived from a Northern English dialect statement, "there's nowt so queer as folk," which translates to "there's nothing as bizarre as people" and is a pun on the contemporary English word for homosexual, "queer." Originally titled by Davies, the programme was renamed Queer as Fuck at the request of Channel 4 officials during its conception and pre-production before reverting to its original moniker.
