It's being reported at the Doctor Who Forum that RTD has received the OBE for services to drama. Apparently there's an embargo on news reports now; it'll be announced tomorrow along with the other honours for the Queen's Official Birthday. If true, it'll make him the second Who producer after Verity Lambert to receive the honour.

It deserved it's own thread mainly because Doctor Who isnt the only thing Russel has done, having made gay drama a worldwide flagship with "Queer As Folk" and his mini-series such as "Bob and Rose", and "The Second Command" bringing in noticable acclaim.
