The plot of Century Falls is driven by a legend that no children had been born in the eponymous village for more than forty years. Davies wrote one Doctor Who Virgin New Adventures novel, Damaged Goods, in which the Doctor tracks a Class A drug tainted by Time Lord technology across several galaxies.

After his near-death experience, Davies started to develop a series for Channel 4 which reflected the "hedonistic lifestyle" of the gay quarter of Manchester he was leaving behind. The three teenagers examine the waterfall that gave Ben his powers and the disaster which caused the legendary infertility. Encouraged by ex-Granada executives Catriona MacKenzie and Gub Neil to "go gay", the series focused on a group of friends in Manchester's gay scene, tentatively titled The Other End of the Ballroom, and later, Queer as Fuck.The show was due to enter into production in 2006, but was indefinitely postponed due to the success of Doctor Who. After the first production block, which he described as "hitting a brick wall", the show's production was markedly eased as the crew familiarised themselves. They don't exist, Jason, because you're stupid, you're bigoted, and you don't matter one little bit.

In 1985, Davies began his professional television career after a friend suggested he should talk to a television producer who was seeking a temporary graphic artist for the children's show Why Don't You? Like how Sliding Doors examines two timelines based on whether Helen Quilley ( Gwyneth Paltrow) catches a London Underground train, Davies uses the choice of the Doctor's companion to turn left or right at a road intersection to depict either a world with the Doctor, as seen throughout the rest of the fourth series, or an alternate world without the Doctor, examined in its entirety within the episode. Ian Farrington, who commented on the 2009 "Greatest Contribution" poll, attributed Davies' popularity to his range of writing styles, from the epic " Doomsday" to the minimalistic "Midnight", and his ability to market the show to appeal to a wide audience. The serial climaxes in a confrontation between Tess and the deity Century, who is attempting to fuse with Tess's unborn sister. The next drama to be commissioned was Springhill, an apocalyptic soap-opera, co-created by Frank Cottrell Boyce and Paul Abbott, which aired simultaneously on Sky One and Channel 4 in 1996–97.Davies' script takes place in two distinct time frames and required two different actors for the eponymous role: the older Casanova was portrayed by Peter O'Toole, and the younger Casanova was portrayed by David Tennant. Although Cucumber was designed as a self-contained serial about the life of one man, Davies envisioned Banana as open-ended with the potential to continue after its sister series finished.

His most notable commentaries of religion and atheism are The Second Coming and his 2007 Doctor Who episode " Gridlock". The subplot climaxes in the fourth episode, when Monica and Bob lead a rally into direct action by handcuffing themselves to a bus run by a company whose management donated millions to keeping the law on the books; [56] [57] the scene directly parallels protests against the transport company Stagecoach due to their founder Brian Souter's financial and political support of Section 28—at one point, Davies intended to explicitly name Stagecoach in the script— [57] and is inspired by earlier protests undertaken by the LGBT rights pressure group OutRage! In contrast, "Gridlock" takes a more pro-active role in debating religion: the episode depicts the unity of the supporting cast in singing the Christian hymns " Abide with Me" and " The Old Rugged Cross" as a positive aspect of faith, but depicts the Doctor as an atheistic hero which shows the faith as misguided because "there is no higher authority".During his production tenure on Children's Ward, Davies continued to seek other freelance writing jobs, particularly for soap operas; his intention was to eventually work on the popular and long-running Granada soap Coronation Street. The series would again receive criticism when it was rumoured it would be broadcast over the Easter weekend of 2003. After three days of deliberation, Davies accepts Cook's suggestion and thanks him for improving both episodes. The series primarily used the "psychic twins" concept and was set in an isolated village based on those in the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors.
