About Work It
Two unemployed friends decide the only way to find work in the poor economic climate is to pose as women. When Lee (Ben Koldyke) and Angel (Amaury Nolasco) land jobs in pharmaceutical sales, they soon discover that the differences between men and women go deeper than high heels and body shaping undergarments. The two are determined to keep up the ruse -- and their jobs -- however they can, and may just end up better men for it. They just have to keep the secrets from their co-workers and in Lee's case, his wife and teenage daughter. … MORE

Russell T Davies: I want to write a darker LGBTQ+ drama
By Miriam BarkerBBC News
Russell T Davies says he wants to write a darker LGBTQ+ drama as he feels there is " a lot of hatred in the air".
Speaking at the, the largest LGBTQ+ short film prize in The World , the It's a Sin writer and producer said he was worried about " where We Are now".
Davies, whose work also includes Queer as Folk, said his writing always came back to the " here and now".
" I have things to say About That , " he added.
Davies, who recently after helping to revive it in 2005, said he thought his work would always relate to the modern day.
" I might write historical stuff like A Very English Scandal, or futuristic stuff like Doctor Who , but if you look at my work, it always comes back to the here and now, " He Said .
" I think I have done two big pieces, which are Queer as Folk set in 1999, and looked at The World then. And Then there was Cucumber, set in 2015, " Davies said.
" I think as I'm getting older now, slowing down, towards The End of My Life , I would love to write a third piece that says where We Are now.
" I worry about where We Are , and I think there's a lot of hatred in the air, a lot of nonsense in the air, a lot of rhetoric, and a lot of hate-makers stoking up the fires, and I have things to say About That , so I'd be surprised if I don't Say Something About That . "
'It's dangerous to think it's alright'Davies said representation was important.
" We need to constantly work to keep LGBTQ+ representation at The Heart of The Narrative .
" It's dangerous to think it's alright. There's still more that needs to be done. "
Davies, whose work also includes Years and Years, said it was important to keep a taste of today.
" It's very easy to sit in your office, especially as you get older and become divorced from The World and settle into things, and Suddenly You 're writing things that could've been written ten or 20 years ago, " He Said .
" One of the plus sides of gay rights and queer rights being on The News is it keeps me on my toes.
" I Wish we didn't have half the problems or any of the problems, but actually when you're constantly the headline, when politicians constantly talk About You , when the media is constantly talking About You , at least you're on top of things, and kind of aware of the arguments. "
