Queer as Folk is back! Well, not quite, but almost. Screenwriter Russel T Davies returns to the queer subject with a new series, Cucumber, Banana and Tofu. Davies is no stranger to queer subject matter or controversy. He defied Christian lobbyists in 1999 after they threatened him and Channel 4 regulators with complaints against airing gay sex on prime time television in the landmark series Queer As Folk. The series proved not to bring about the end of civilization and instead brought in about 3.5 milion viewers.

But times have changed. It's unlikely Davies's next big gay project Cucumber, Banana and Tofu will have the same reaction. After all, although we could use more of it, queer is all over television. Things are not like 16 years ago when the UK was still discussing ages for consent for gay sex. Today same sex marriage is both legal in the UK and growing in acceptance. Still, Cucumber, Banana and Tofu is quite an original idea.
The series is broken into a threesome: Cucumber, Banana and Tofu.
