UK-1.1 Thursday

Still Queer as Folk UK

On a night out clubbing, Stuart picks up 15-year-old Nathan on the street, and Vince is stalked home by a muscle daddy that turns out to be…just a daddy. Stuart and Nathan are naked in bed when they get the call that Stuart’s lesbian friend Lisa has given birth to their child. Stuart and Vince drop young Nathan off at school and we’re given some foreshadowing that the random one night stand has several more nights left in it.
