Davies Off to the Valleys
What next for Russell T. Davies now that he’s left Doctor Who and collected his well deserved OBE? Not science fiction it seems.
Broadcast Now reports that Davies will be working with BBC Wales as creative consultant on a new primetime drama series, The Fabulous Baker Boys. This is described as “a contemporary drama about factory workers in a small valleys town battling to keep the plant from closure”.
RTD describes the show as being “Welsh right down to its bootstraps”.
The series will be written by Helen Raynor who worked as a script editor on Doctor Who as well as writing episodes of Who and Torchwood. Since these include Daleks in Manhattan I’m not sure it’s much of a recommendation.
