Fresh, fun and sexy.

British TV has always shied away from subjects related to gay people. But Queer As Folk broke all the barriers to become the freshest, fastest and sexiest TV shows ever shown. The scene, the music, the clothes, the men, it all added up to 8 fabulous instalments of great TV.

Aidan Gillen, Craig Kelly and Charlie Hunnam were excellent as Stuart, Vince and Nathan, and the supporting cast, especially Carla Henry as Donna, the fag hag you always wanted, were outstanding.

If you want your TV cool and sexy check out Queer As Folk. Also, Charlie Hunnam is the sexiest guy on TV, without a shadow of a doubt!
