QUEER AS FOLK 1 (UK TV series)DVD
Queer as Folk ( U K T V series) Queer as Folk is a 1999 British television series that chronicles the lives of three gay men living in Manchester's gay village around Canal Street. Both Queer as Folk and Queer as Folk 2 were written by Russell T Davies. The first series was re-shown on More 4 between 14-18 October 2007 as part of Channel 4's 25th birthday celebrations. Queer as Folk was produced by the Red Production Company for Channel 4. The title of the programme comes from a dialect expression from some parts of Northern England, there's nowt so queer as folk, meaning there's nothing as strange as people; which plays on the modern day British synonym of queer, meaning homosexual. Davies had originally titled the series this, although at the suggestion of Channel 4 executives for a period during its development and pre-production it was known as Queer as Fuck, before it reverted to the former name
