In The Queerest of Folk, Russell T Davies traces his remarkable career in television, from his early days working on children’s shows and soaps through to the giddy heights of relaunching Doctor Who, and the queer stories that challenged what the mainstream screen dared to show. Packed with behind the scenes stories from all your favourite TV shows, The Queerest of Folk takes us into the mind of one of Britain’s most renowned creators.
'A galloping memoir of Davies’s life as Britain’s most celebrated showrunner’ GUARDIAN

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER AND DARING FOLLOW-UP TO INTERNATIONAL PHENOMENON WANT
'A love letter to the community built by Want [and] the natural next step on our collective journey towards sexual liberation' GLAMOUR
'Am I a bad person? Or am I allowed to wonder “what if”?’ ‘Is this kind of desire simply something people feel but don’t speak about?’ ‘What is a woman without fantasy?’ More pleasure, more kink, more partners, more zest – this is desire turned all the way up. If Want sparked the fire of a quiet revolution, More gives women the fuel to let it roar. In this electrifying sequel to the landmark bestseller, Gillian Anderson invites us to leave shame and fear at the door as she dials up the heat on women’s sexual fantasies and dares us to want more.
This collection of intimate letters – submitted by anonymous women across the globe, curated and introduced by Gillian – dives deeper into what women everywhere think, feel and dream about in their most private moments. Spilling out of the bedroom, the letters take us to all spaces where desire resides, from office boardrooms to kitchen counters, school gates to forest floors. Bolder and more explicit, they come from over fifty nations and women from eighteen to eighty.
Nothing is off limits: there are silken ropes and stirrups, metal collars and machines, neighbours, friends, in-laws and strangers, cravings to own and be owned, people to desire and be desired by, pleasure and pain in equal measure. Joyful, unapologetic and deliciously unfiltered, More proves that the freedom for women to fantasise without restraint is as exhilarating and vital as ever.

Foreword by Rachel Reid
An Instant International Bestseller
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERFrom Jacob Tierney, the creator of Heated Rivalry, in partnership with Brendan Brady and Accent Aigu, comes I'll Believe in Anything, an official and complete collection of annotated scripts for the biggest cultural sensation of the year, with all new exclusive behind-the-scenes content. ?**This edition is printed in black and white, with exclusive photographic endpapers you won't find in any other edition, plus 16 pages of colour behind-the-scenes photography.**Based on Rachel Reid's blockbuster Game Changers book series, Heated Rivalry premiered on Crave and HBO in late 2025 and immediately took the world by storm. I'll Believe in Anything takes readers behind the curtain, showing how Tierney, his producing partner Brendan Brady, and the entire Accent Aigu team drew on a deep reverence for Reid's work, impeccable casting, clever sets and costume design, and thoughtful sex scene choreography to both rewrite the playbook for adapting romance novels to the screen and obliterate the long-held misconception that queer love stories have limited appeal.
I'll Believe in Anything answers all the questions fans of this groundbreaking series have been asking. How did Tierney interweave Ilya and Shane's rivalry with Scott and Kip's love story to create the ultimate television moment? Where did the idea for that incredible Canadian Olympic fleece originate? And what does it look like for a full team, led by Tierney and Brady, to plan, choreograph, and film some of the best sex scenes in television history? Featuring annotations on scene directions, intimacy choreography, costume insights, and more, alongside Tierney's never-before-seen scripts, this book gives fans a brand-new way to come to the cottage!
