Queer as Folk (UK) was my very first RTD show and I really loved it back when I first saw it. The character of Stuart Allen Jones always fascinated me because he was the kind of guy who was an utter bastard about 364 1/2 days of the year and yet had flashes of genuine kindness. Plus, as dysfunctional as Stuart and Vince's relationship was, there was a purity to it that I loved.
Even though I'm probably making something out of nothing, I feel like a lot of things I saw in QAF ended up surfacing in one form or another in DW or TW.
And yes! RTD has a great love for the last names Jones and Tyler. I think I read somewhere once where he said he feels a character doesn't really take shape until he names him or her and so he tends to go with the same name over and over because it helps him ground the character a little.
