Names The Same is no longer a trope
Deleted line(s) 4 (click to see context) :
* NamesTheSame: Creator/RussellTDavies likes reusing names. Tyler is one of his favourites -- here it is Vince's surname, and later it was to be Rose's surname in ''Series/DoctorWho.'' There are also characters named Martha Jones and Donna, both of which were used as names of major characters in ''Doctor Who.''

Added DiffLines:
* BreakthroughHit: This series really put Creator/RussellTDavies on the map.
* CreatorRecovery: Creator/RussellTDavies created the series after surviving a near-fatal drug overdose. The experience not only made him rethink his life, but also make a series celebrating homosexuality.
* DawsonCasting: Nathan is said to be fifteen. Creator/CharlieHunnam was nineteen at the start of the series.

* PropRecycling: Stuart buys Vince a replica of [[Series/DoctorWho K-9]] in an attempt to buy his affection, and it plays a prominent MacGuffin role in the last couple of episodes. The replica is the BBC's actual K-9 prop.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/ChristopherEccleston was Davies' first choice for the role of Stuart Jones after seeing him in ''Series/OurFriendsInTheNorth''. Eccleston declined because of his age and suggested his friend Creator/AidanGillen instead. He would later collaborate with Davies on ''Series/TheSecondComing'' and the first series of ''Doctor Who''.
** A SpinOff series, ''Misfits'' was initially commissioned by Creator/Channel4. The series would have followed the characters of Hazel, Alexander, Donna (who was absent from the second series due to scheduling commitments) and Bernard from the original series, while introducing new characters. Although Davies developed draft scripts for four episodes and storylines for a further twenty-two, the series was cancelled before it went into pre-production. As a result of this decision, Davies pulled out of a deal that would have seen a series of ''Queer as Folk'' short stories published on the broadcaster's website, and vowed to not work with Channel 4 again, unless he has an idea that only works on that channel.
