Alan Cumming & David Morrissey Join Russell T Davies’ Tip Toe

Alan Cumming and David Morrissey will lead the cast of Russell T Davies’ new Channel 4 drama Tip Toe.

Tip Toe is produced by Quay Street Productions, with Nicola Shindler, Davies, Peter Hoar and Cumming serving as executive producers. It is produced in association with ITV Studios, which will distribute the show internationally.

Filming is taking place in Manchester for the five-part series about neighbors Leo (Cumming) and Clive (Morrissey), who have lived next door to each other for almost 15 years but have become deadly enemies.

“The best things in life are worth waiting for and the best people,” said Cumming. “Russell T Davies and I have been trying to work together for over 20 years. Now, not only are we working together, but doing so with one of my dearest, oldest friends, Dave Morrissey, and in a piece of work I think is so brilliant and prescient and necessary. I don’t say this lightly, but this is truly an honor.”

“I’m delighted to be working with Russell again, and also to be working with Alan, who has been a great friend of mine for over 40 years, but we’ve never had the chance to work together,” said Morrissey. “It’s a privilege to be with them both on this astonishing piece of work.”

Also joining the cast are Pooky Quesnel, Jackson Connor, Joseph Evans, Elizabeth Berrington, and Charlie Condou, among others.
