Cucumber (TV series), Banana (TV series), Tofu (TV series)

 * ... that the LGBT drama series Cucumber, Banana, and Tofu are all named after the same study of the male erection?
 * ALT1:... that Russell T Davies's new series Cucumber is a spiritual successor to his 1999–2000 series Queer as Folk?
 * ALT2:... that Banana is the first British television series to star a transgender actress in a transgender role?
 * ALT3:... that Tofu, an online documentary series about sex, contains dramatised vignettes that have been compared in tone to Black Mirror?
 * Reviewed:
 * Eleanor Robinson
 * Caroline Dawson
 * Vainglory (video game)
 * Comment: Triple nomination for the triptych of shows created by Russell T Davies (which I took to FA, and then to the main page). I've credited Rob for providing some important details that could be built on. ALT1–3 provided in case the triple hook is objectionable.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (23, 25, 26 Jan) and long enough (4.7k, 2.8k, 3k chars). There's some paraphrased overlap but there's enough alternative prose to push it over the 1.5k char length requirement. Sourced, neutral and no apparent copyvio. Can't verify ALT1 since I don't have access to the book sources - I'm concerned that it may not mention Cucumber (not its predecessor) since both were published before the series was picked up. Other hooks check out, but prefer the original hook because the series are related (via topic, creator and release date). I don't think the hook is otherwise objectionable - I'd take more offence if the hook contained blue humour than one that is "matter of fact". QPQs done. Fuebaey (talk) 20:52, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
