Russell T Davies signs copies of his book 'The Queerest of Folk' at Waterstones Piccadilly, with each ticket including a copy of the book.
Russell T Davies is signing copies of his book The Queerest of Folk at Waterstones Piccadilly on Tuesday 24 November, starting at 6 pm. It's a straightforward signing, so you'll get your copy signed by him in person rather than a full talk, but for anyone who's followed his work, it's a rare chance to meet one of the biggest names in British television.
If you're not entirely sure where to place him, you've almost certainly seen his work. He's best known for reviving Doctor Who, and for bringing queer relationships onto the mainstream screen. He's the writer behind the series It's a Sin and, more recently, Tip Toe. The Queerest of Folk distils his career in television, tracing it from his early days working on children's shows and soaps through to relaunching Doctor Who.
There's a bit of a track record behind the name, too. He was awarded the 2006 Dennis Potter Award at the BAFTA for his writing services to television, and an OBE in the Queen's 2008 Birthday Honours for services to drama. If you've spent any time watching British TV over the last couple of decades, you've likely come across something he's had a hand in.

Tickets are £25, and each one includes a copy of the book, so you don't need to buy your own beforehand. If you want more than one, additional copies will be available for sale on the night. Just a heads-up: the event will be filmed and photographed, so keep that in mind if you're not keen on being on camera. It's at Waterstones Piccadilly, 203-206 Piccadilly, London W1J 9HD, on Tuesday 24 November from 6 pm.
