The five-part drama explores the deteriorating relationship between long-time acquaintances and neighbours Leo (Alan Cumming) and Clive (David Morrissey), who have lived a door away from one another for more than a decade.
While Tip Toe pays particular attention on rising prejudice and hate crimes towards the LGBTQ+ community, the screenwriter said at a BFI screening that the same levels of extreme alienation are occurring for numerous other groups.
"I think it's a crisis happening day after day – and it's anyone," he began. "Everyone's being weaponised against [each other]. You could make a Jewish version of this drama, you could make a disabled version of this drama, women could make this drama.
Indeed, technology is cited as a key driver of the polarisation, with many of Clive's intolerant or misinformed opinions originating from untrustworthy online sources, rather than anyone he comes across in day-to-day life.
Morrissey explained: "He'd rather believe these reinforced values by keyboard warriors, who he doesn't see out there somewhere in the darkness, [instead of] the evidence of the person who's standing in front of him.
