The series was written by Russell T. Davies , who had previously been responsible for the much-discussed Channel 4 drama '' Queer As Folk '', another Red Production Company programme. As with ''Queer as Folk'', ''Bob and Rose'' involved Homosexuality as a key theme. The storyline involves a gay man named Robert Gossage ('Bob') falling in love with a woman, Rose Cooper, and was loosely based on events that had happened in real life to a friend of Davies. Bob was played by stand-up comedian and actor Alan Davies , who was at the time best known for his lead role in the BBC television mystery series '' Jonathan Creek ''. Rose was played by actress Lesley Sharp , who was nominated for the BAFTA and Royal Television Society Best Actress awards for the part. Although critically well-received, ''Bob and Rose'' was not a huge success in terms of audience share for ITV, and the final two episodes were relegated from prime-time to later night slots. The series has subsequently been released on DVD , with a Commentary Track by Russell T. Davies and Alan Davies. REFERENCES
