Davies: 'My OBE is good for British TV'

Rex Features

Doctor Who's Russell T. Davies has claimed that his OBE will be good for TV drama in the UK.

The Welshman, who was recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours, told the BBC: "I'm delighted to accept, and I hope it does the whole industry a bit of good, for the writing of television drama to be recognised."

A spokesman for the BBC commented: "We are delighted for Russell - he is one of this country's greatest writers and it is fantastic that his talent has been recognised in this way."

Davies was credited with reviving the cult sci-fi show Doctor Who in 2005. He has also written Casanova, Queer As Folk and Touching Evil.
