Channel 4's Tip Toe has barely landed on screens and is already taking a break. The drama, crafted by It's A Sin and Doctor Who mastermind Russell T Davies, follows gay bar owner Leo (Alan Cumming) and electrician Clive (David Morrissey) as they turn on each other after 15 years of living side by side. What begins as a simple neighbourly feud quickly escalates into a far more dangerous situation for both men.
Tip Toe Episode Release Schedule
Tip Toe made its Channel 4 debut on Sunday, May 31, at 9pm, with episode two airing on Monday, June 1, in the same time slot. Regrettably, viewers will now need to wait longer before the remainder of the drama airs.

Russell T Davies on Prejudice
While Tip Toe centres on prejudice and hate crimes directed at the LGBTQ+ community, creator Russell T Davies believes comparable levels of abuse are experienced across other groups too. Speaking at the screening for the Channel 4 drama, Davies said: "I think it's a crisis happening day after day – and it's anyone. Everyone's being weaponised against [each other]. You could make a Jewish version of this drama, you could make a disabled version of this drama, women could make this drama. I see straight white men who could make this drama, feeling marginalised. It's the temperature of the dialogue and the argument and the pitch of it – all driven by our phones – that's alarming me greatly."
Tip Toe is available to watch on Channel 4.
