A gay man (Alan Davies) and a straight woman (The Full Monty’s
Lesley Sharp) meet and do the unthinkable - they fall in love. Rose is down to
earth, straightforward and funny. Then she meets Bob, a teacher who's certainly
not expecting to meet someone like Rose. In their hearts they know they're doing
the right thing, but everyone around them thinks they're crazy. Are they
hurtling towards the biggest heartache ever? "Bob And Rose" is an irresistible
comedy drama from the pen of Russell T. Davies, creator of "Queer As Folk."
In crafting a completely believable and honestly compelling story, Davies and
ITV has produced in "Bob and Rose" a sensitive, honest account of everyday life
among gay people and their friends in a way that all, gay or straight, can
immediately feel they relate to. In lesser hands, these unlikely lovers would probably fall off the somewhat
soapy tightrope. Series creator Davies makes it real because it's true. The
whole story was inspired by his real-life gay friend who fell in love with a
woman.
