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. 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 dialect expression from some parts of Northern England, 'there's nowt so queer as folk', meaning 'there's nothing as strange as people'. Queer as Folk was produced by the Red Production Company for Channel 4. The first series was re-shown on More 4 between 14-18 October 2007 as part of Channel 4's 25th birthday celebrations. Both Queer as Folk and Queer as Folk 2 were written by Russell T Davies.

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.
