In the Queen's Birthday Honours, in June 2008, Russell was awarded an OBE for services to drama.
(edit)
In June 2008, Russell gave the inaugural Anthony H Wilson Memorial Lecture in Manchester. The Royal Television Society North West are honouring the late founder of Factory Records by introducing this annual lecture.
(edit)
Russell T. Davies is stepping down after the 2009 Doctor Who specials, Steven Moffat will take over as lead writer and executive producer of the fifth series, to air in 2010.
(edit)
When Russell's father lost his sight, his mother used to narrate what they were watching on TV. Though she called Queer as Folk porn, it still got this treatment.
(edit)
In 1996, Russell won a BAFTA in the Best Children's Drama category. This was for his work on BBC TV's Childrens's Ward.

(On casting Lesley Sharp in "Midnight" an episode of "Doctor Who")
Russell We needed the absolute best for this episode, and we got them. I suggested Lesley - I actually wrote it thinking of her - because I'd been dying to work with her again and she'd keep asking to be in Doctor Who. (edit) (on the importance of Captain Jack in "Doctor Who")
Russell: I often get asked to write dramas or films about a man coming out of the closet to his wife, or a man coming out of the closet to his children, or a man who's beaten up because he's secretly gay. I always refuse if it's a negative take on homosexuality - if the only aspect being portrayed is the trouble, the tears and the angst. (edit) (on his relationship with long-time partner, Andrew Smith)
Russell: We watch TV and laugh loads. We don't live together, just see each other at weekends. I'm very lucky to have found someone who will tolerate that arrangement. If I'm writing, I would walk over his body if he had a heart attack. (edit) (on Richard Dawkins appearing in "Doctor Who")
Russell: People were falling at his feet. We've had Kylie Minogue on that set, but it was Dawkins people were worshipping. He has brought atheism proudly out of the closet!
(edit) (on "Torchwood").
Russell: We can be a bit more visceral, more violent, and more sexual, if we want to. Though bear in mind that it’s very teenage to indulge yourself in blood and gore, and Torchwood is going to be smarter than that. (edit)
