Join us for Russell T Davies’ new five-part drama Tip Toe. Leo (Alan Cumming) and Clive (David Morrissey) are next-door neighbours in Manchester. Leo runs a bar on Canal Street, while Clive’s an electrician with a wife and two sons. But when one man gives the other his front door key, it opens a world of fear, mistrust, prejudice and danger, as their lives collide. It’s neighbours at war like never before, in a tense suburban thriller which challenges everything we consider to be safe.

This screening contains an incident of graphic violence, as well as homophobic and racist attitudes, which some viewers may find triggering. Please reach our Box Office team ([email protected]) for further content advice.
