From the writer of Doctor Who and Queer as Folk, Russell T. Davies, comes Logo TV's two newest series: Cucumber and Banana.
The two interwoven drama series will explore 21st century gay life in all its powerful, witty, dark and uplifting guises through the lens of two disparate generations. The hour-long Cucumber will explore the lives and misadventures of Henry Best and his long-suffering boyfriend of nine years, Lance Sullivan. The half-hour Banana will follow the individual lives of younger characters orbiting around Henry's world, telling stories of modern love - the romantic, the obsessed, the hopeful, the lonely, the lost, and the lucky.
