By Will Stroude

The first official teaser for Russell T Davies’ new Channel 4 shows Cucumber, Banana and Tofu has been released online, and we can barely contain our excitement as the air date approaches.

The main Channel 4 series Cucumber will follow the lives of a group of gay men in Manchester and will run in conjunction with E4 series Banana and factual online web series Tofu. Watch the risqué  new teaser for yourselves below.

Among the stars of Cucumber is Coronation Street’s Julie Hesmondhalgh, who said last month (November) that the show would be a departure from Davies’ iconic gay series Queer as Folk – find out more here.

Other actors appearing in Cucumber and Banana include The Riot Club’s Freddie Fox, In the Flesh star Luke Newberry, comedian Rufas Hound and attitude.co.uk contributor Andrew Hayden-Smith.

Meanwhile, earlier this week Andrew Hayden-Smith shared a picture of one of his more revealingCucumber costumes – take a look here.

CucumberBanana and Tofu are due to air on Channel 4, E4 and online early next year.
