Yet the story began back in 1999 with a phone call from Red, an independent production company, who had an exciting new series in the pipeline from a rising star writer.
QUEER AS FOLK SOUNDTRACK SEASON 2 TV
Queer As Folk would tear up the TV rulebook and open the nation’s eyes to a vibrant world buzzing just beneath their noses - while elevating the Almighty sound to the summit of pop’s pantheon of cool.

It was the success of this album that prompted Channel 4 launch their own music division when the second series of Queer As Folk was made.As the new millennium lit the horizon in a glow of possibility, a controversial new Channel 4 series made a grab for the zeitgeist, swiftly becoming the most talked-about show with the most sought-after soundtrack on television. However, some tracks could not be cleared in time for the release mainly due to timescales, including one by Steps who initially said that the show would be too 'low profile' for them to be associated with. Given a list of tracks, Almighty had one month to compile the music. The release of this CD followed a request from the makers of the TV series, Red Productions, after another major record company turned down the opportunity due to poor sales of previous 'music-led' television shows on Channel 4.

Because of the TV show, it was the Queer As Folk CD soundtrack, which went gold within four months of going on sale in March 1999 in the UK, that has become the most successful project the label has ever taken on. The music for the series was produced by Almighty Records. In the second series, the tone became somewhat more serious, with each of the main characters having to make hard choices concerning their futures.Ī recurrent theme throughout the series is Vince's fandom of Doctor Who, with various scenes from the classic series being played (in one instance an awkward situation with a guy Vince brings home.) This is a small, yet significant piece to the series, as six years later Russell T Davies revived Doctor Who. When offered a test drive of a Jeep by a car salesman who makes some homophobic comments, Stuart drives the car straight through the large window of the car dealership. He invites Vince's female work colleague, who has a crush on closeted Vince, to Vince's birthday party and then introduces Vince's boyfriend.

He blows up a car belonging to his friend Alexander's antagonistic mother (in the second series). Stuart's principal characteristic is that he does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants. Stuart, an advertising executive, possesses intrinsic power, able to bend anything to his will. The producers say that Queer as Folk, although superficially a realistic depiction of gay urban life in the 1990s, is meant as a fantasy, and that Stuart, Vince, and Nathan are not so much characters as gay male archetypes. 15-year-old Nathan Maloney (Charlie Hunnam) is new to the gay scene but is not lacking in self-confidence. His long-time friend Vince Tyler (Craig Kelly), who has a crush on Stuart, has less luck regarding men. The main characters are Stuart Alan Jones (Aidan Gillen), who is highly sexually active, and successfully so. Davies had originally titled the series this, although at the suggestion of Channel 4 executives for a period during its development and pre-production it was known as Queer as Fuck, before it reverted to the former name. The title of the programme comes from a Yorkshire dialect expression from some parts of Northern England, "there's nowt so queer as folk", meaning "there's nothing as strange as people" which is a word play on the modern-day English synonym of " queer", meaning homosexual. Queer as Folk was produced by the Red Production Company for Channel 4. Both Queer as Folk and Queer as Folk 2 were written by Russell T Davies. Initially running for eight episodes, a two-part follow up called Queer As Folk 2 was shown in 2000. Queer as Folk is a 1999 British television series that chronicles the lives of three gay men living in Manchester's gay village around Canal Street.
