RadoxTheGreen 4th Jul 2015		Yes, this is certainly the reason why he got Doctor Who, not Queer As Folk. RTD was only given 6 episodes to work with and splitting the show into 3 episodes per story (Doctor Who style) was a thinly disguised job application in case they were ever going to bring the show back again. I heard a rumour that the beeb bosses at that time were less than impressed with RTD for turning what was intended to be a one off 6 episode sci fi for kids into an alternative to Doctor Who (and going over budget in the process). They eventually let him do another series, but after two years of beeb dithering, the actor who played Marcie was too old to play a schoolgirl, and the whole point of her character was that kids see and do things adults don't. Recasting and script rewriting ensued and Dark Season 2 was abandoned and the equally excellent "Century Falls" created in its place. You don't have to look too hard at that show to see that it had its origins with Dark Season.



23skidoo 4th Jul 2015		@Radox I believe Davies has acknowledged Doctor Who as an inspiration for Dark Season, and I do believe the BBC wanted him to be the guy to bring Doctor Who back based on the strength of this more than from his best known pre-Who series, Queer as Folk. I had no idea Kate Winslet was in this, though!
