Russell T Davies, the mastermind behind It's A Sin and Years and Years, is back with another Channel 4 drama to sink your teeth into. Set in Manchester, Tip Toe tells the story of two neighbours, Leo and Clive, who live distinctly different lives - from their beliefs and social circles to moral compass and more - and yet, become intertwined.

Viewers are already loving the series, but when is the next episode on?

What is Tip Toe about?

As the Channel 4 description explains, Tip Toe is a "tense thriller from Russell T Davies, with Alan Cumming and David Morrissey. An ordinary Manchester suburb becomes a minefield of lies and violence when Leo gives neighbour Clive his spare key."

Cumming plays Leo, an outspoken, loud and proud owner of a queer bar named Spit & Polish. Morrissey plays his neighbour, Clive, a troubled electrician who lives next door. When a feud between the pair emerges, it begins to reflect the ongoing conversations happening around prejudice, fear and mistrust in their community.
