@@MarthaMansbridge nothing wrong with him sticking with a subject or theme that he is passionate about.. just that his work is rather trite and predictable..
Agreed. The longevity of new Doctor Who is largely down to Russell doing the groundwork. Dramas such as “Years and Years” and “It’s A Sin” just reinforce what a talented writer he is.
Me too. I grew up with his writing (literally a 6 year old when that aired) and he had a /massive/ part to play in forming my consciousness. He only impresses me more and more as I grow older
I'm so in love with Russell T Davies right now listening to him, absolutely on board with a lot of his comments. It's great to hear his voice over so many doom mongers and purveyors of mistruths. Can't wait to indulge in his future work and hearing others speak truth to power!
The Greatest! I never thought this man could outdo himself. I watched “It’s a sin” and I’ll admit, it’s the first time I cried whilst watching a movie, since I was a child. Bravo!
It's a Sin was very good but also very affecting and sad. I'm probably odd in that I've never had a relationship with anyone man or women, never enjoyed the nightlife scene in my younger years and am often very conscious and depressed about all that... now.. The subject matter is so heavy and Im struggling to recover from it after three days as of writing. This probably means the series is truly groundbreaking. The last time I felt this kind of feeling was watching Chernobyl in 2019. Its really very heartbreaking and I feel like I'm grieving for real people even though they are fictional. The characters were strongly defined and there are some strong performances and this surely will go down as one of the best British television miniseries of the decade let alone 2021.
fucking lovelovelove Russell T so much you are a legend of writing and television thank you for everything you've ever given us you majestic beautiful man.
Russell is dead right on corona, people won’t put up with these restrictions much longer as its causing so much loneliness and despair. The recession that comes from this will cause it’s own problems too like 2008 did, but this time possibly worse. As soon as the pandemic is over, I’d put good money on Boris being ousted. He hasn’t got a leg to stand on now Trump has gone and that Brexit has happened too. And a lot of it will be to do with the anger that Russell is talking about. Great Director 🙏
Fingers crossed he’s gone soon. All he’s doing is paving the way for a Labour landslide at the next election, oh and ruining the mental and physical health of the nation with needless and damaging restrictions you know...
muslimgirl - it was a 'necessity' to nullify people's rights and end their careers? It' was a 'necessity' to forbid people from practicing their trade, have weddings or to attend funerals and physically embrace their bereaved brethren, or otherwise see their relatives? It was a 'necessity' to quarantine the healthy and young to protect the vulnerable? It was a 'necessity' to kill untold tens of thousands with missed cancer screenings, suicides, anxiety-exacerbated mental illness, missed elective surgeries and missed medical examinations? It was a 'necessity' to coerce the entire nation to collectivize and be made prisoners in their own homes? It was a 'necessity' for the government to dictate what medical procedures were necessary and which weren't and to make those decisions on the individual's behalf? It was a 'necessity' to violate people's lives so grievously and egregiously??? Never mind the tidal wave of death and privation still to come... And yet you maintain the 'tarded argument, 'If we locked down _harder,_ it would have worked'??? How about the thousands if not tens of thousands of family members lost without ever having the chance to see loved ones before or during their passing? You think government should have power to restrict that? What if the sick / dying actively _want_ to see their loved ones before they pass? You get to wait to see your family members again, _good for little ol' you!_ - not everyone was as fortunate as that... _Good gravy,_ not too bright, are ya? _Maybe you'd be smarter if you_ prayed harder _to be??_
Loved his answer on procrastination. Often times your brain is actually using that time to gather and organize thoughts. Your mind goes through those stages faster when there's a deadline there but it knows to use all the time allotted. I work in a different industry but also creative and it's very interesting to hear the thoughts of someone like Russel.
Davies is likely referring to the anger he felt due to the minor inconveniences he faced while a virus killed millions of people. A majority of the deaths were easily preventable.
I lived through the AIDS crisis in London. Lost my partner to it. One thing that slightly annoyed me about It's a Sin is the portrayal of the gay world as almost exclusively being made up of flamboyant and camp 20-somethings. It wasn't. It was much more diverse.
One of the best writers of TV or film of all time no question
no.. a second rate writer whose straight characters are two dimensional..
not remotely as powerful or nuanced as Dennis Potter..
Utterly agree with you!
Seriously? One trick pony - it’s all gay, gay, gay

Nope, THE BEST WRITER EVER xxxx
Excellent interview - one of our greatest contemporary writers/dramatist
I’ve been a huge fan of Russell since I watched “Rose” in 2005. Amazing writer.

@@MayaJagger Same here. The adventures of the 9th and 10th doctors really shaped my outlook on life.

This isn't 'truth to power' - this is sucking up to the liberal establishment.
@@fletcherhamilton3177 ooo your edgy!
this guy is frankly an artistic genius, and largely wise on the politics
Why are there so many lunatic comments here...?
Good interesting interview, I can't wait to watch Russell's new series.
They're literally everywhere. You could have a video about fully cats and there would be toxic comments.
Excellent interview & my favourite line "We should have empathy coming out of our ears and instead we have anger". Too true.
The Greatest! I never thought this man could outdo himself. I watched “It’s a sin” and I’ll admit, it’s the first time I cried whilst watching a movie, since I was a child. Bravo!
Fantastic conversation, Russell speak so much sense. What he said about us communicating through typing is spot on!
Great interview, great thoughts, ideas and compassion from a great writer.

Thank you Russell for this important piece of television.
I could listen to him all day. Such a fascinating man

He is so right about pornography, it's a fucking disastrous situation.
He nods to it in years and years very well. Really hit home then
WOW, just plain WOW. What a fabulous podcast !!
Anyone know what the framed comic prints on the wall behind him are? I think the one at the end says 'Jason and the Astronauts'

Fascinating man. Very talented.
I cried every episodes. Then I think of pandemic I cry even more.
Looking at this I have a lot of hope for the direction Russell will take for his new episodes of Doctor Who

In 1999 we were all talking/worring about the millennium bug.
