Tovey Wants More Gay Sex

One of the best things I saw last year was A Very English Scandal, a three-part miniseries from the BBC (you can watch it on Amazon).  I highly urge you to check it out, not only for the outstanding performances by everyone (especially Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw, who won a Golden Globe), but also for the crackerjack true story which was riveting.  Much of the credit goes to director Stephen Frears and writer Russell T Davies, who also brought us Queer as Folk as well as pivotal work on Doctor Who and Torchwood.

Which leads us to our Ask Billy question from Thom in Baltimore: “What is this new show that Russell Tovey is in?  He said it had graphic gay sex, so I don’t want to miss it.”

Tovey is in a new BBC series called Years and Years, written by Russell T Davies (HBO will run it at a later date).  The first episode takes place in the near future, after Brexit and during Donald Trump’s second term (God forbid).  What Tovey said was, “Everything has to be shown because, otherwise, if you don’t show diversity, if you don’t show gay sex, if you don’t show men in love, or women in love, or whatever, then how the hell do you normalize it?”  I note he didn’t mention that the show also features a sex robot!  As to the gay sex scene in question, it comes towards the end of the first episode and, well, check it out on BillyMasters.com.
