And that's an interesting little chime with a young, gay boy," he said.Swansea-born comedian Steffan Alun, who coincidentally grew up on the same street as Davies, also found himself represented within the show, despite feeling "stressed" initially .

"When you see someone like you on telly... you're worried that they're going to do something that makes people see you in a different light," he said."As a queer man myself, for me Russell T Davies was Queer As Folk, and it's wild and sexy. And the Doctor isn't really like that, Doctor Who is cosy.
