Queer As Folk

Stuart (Aidan Gillen) has got it all - he's rich, drop-dead gorgeous and always the centre of attention. He can be forgiven the arrogance because he's pretty close to perfection. His best mate Vince (Craig Kelly) is funny, adorable and definitely a babe magnet, but unlike his friend, has zero confidence in himself. Since time began, Vince has carried a torch for Stuart but his love remains firmly unrequited. They're both 29, hitting Canal Street every night, stalwarts of the scene but just starting to wonder where else their lives may be going. Then along comes Nathan (Charlie Hunnam). Young, wild and coming out with a vengeance, he crowbars his way into their world and once he arrives, nothing is ever the same again.

Queer as Folk was written by Russell T Davies (The Grand) and directed by Charles McDougall (Heart, Hillsborough, Cracker, Between the Lines) and Sarah Harding (The Grand, Touching Evil). It was produced by Nicola Shindler (Heart, Hillsborough, Our Friends in the North, Cracker) and was Red's first production.
