TIP TOE

Sam is thrilled to be scoring Russell T Davies’ latest series, Tip Toe.

Starring Alan Cumming and David Morrissey as Leo and Clive, neighbours in Manchester. Just as life should be settling down, the world around them is growing more tense. Words become weapons, opinions become radicalised, and gradually, two neighbours become deadly enemies.

Directed by Peter Hoar and produced by Phil Collinson and Nicola Shindler.

The five-part series is made by Quay Street Productions and is coming soon to Channel 4.
