Gay Guys In History
Russell T. Davies
Mr. Davies was born in 1963. He worked in the children's division of BBC until in 1994 he started writing adult dramas. After almost dying from a drug overdose, he cleaned himself up and decided to write a series based upon his experiences as a gay man in Manchester England. This became the groundbreaking show Queer As Folk. The origin 8 episodes were broadcast in 1999, the second series released in 2000.
His greatest achievement, IMO, was restarted and revitalizing the Doctor Who franchise after a 16 year hiatus. He was with the series from 2005 to 2010, when he left it. And it's been to the series' detriment that he's not working on it anymore. He also created the spin-offs Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
