They talk about the difference between early Drag Race and the increasingly strategic world of reality TV, the psychological impact of being isolated from the outside world, and Alaska's experience returning for UK vs the World . There's plenty of theatre chat too, as Alaska talks about playing the iconic Mary in Oh, Mary! , the possibility of bringing Drag: The Musical to the UK and why Alaska wants drag on stage to be a little less sanitised, a little more grungy, glamorous and punk.

There's also a wonderfully frank conversation about identity and reclamation — where the line sits on slurs, what it means to work your way through the entire alphabet of queer identity and eventually land on simply "queer," and why Iz has been the L, the G, the B, the T and several letters in between. Along the way, the conversation takes in Pokémon card collecting, the K-pop girl group discourse Tia and Iz refuse to let die and a Russell T Davies Mastermind quiz that Tia wins by answering before the question has even finished being asked.

On this episode of The Final FronTia , Tia and Van dive deep into what it means to win a season of Drag Race and then have to live with it online — the "robbed" discourse, the body commentary, the fandom's obsession with lip syncs above all else and why Van would rather delete Twitter than let any of it get to her. She also reveals, for the first time, the secret pact she made with Marina on UK vs The World - and exactly why she thinks Marina made the choice she did in that final lip sync. There's candid chat about the Drag Race experience itself: the gruelling exhaustion of the final stretch, the surreal gap between filming your crowning and watching it air, and the particular cruelty of finding out the result in real time in front of a live audience.

There's plenty of candid reflection on all three of Aja's Drag Race experiences: what she wishes she'd done differently, why she believes she was never truly at her best on the show, and a very frank breakdown of the All Stars 3 Warhol ball - including exactly who she thinks should have been in the bottom and what she really thought of those soup cans! Along the way, the conversation takes in the art of the lip sync, the "dance monkey dance" phenomenon plaguing modern drag performance, old Tumblr poetry, and a Pokémon quiz that Aja takes extremely seriously - because she came prepared...

It's chaotic and candid on this episode of The Final FronTia - as Tia is joined by Drag Race star Nyongbella!

Nyongbella reflects on the whirlwind of entering the Drag Race universe, becoming a meme machine and the surprising wave of love she received from fans after the show aired.

Away from the competition drama, they get into everything from drag names to fandom culture, childhood ambitions (which of them wanted to become a Powerpuff Girl?!) plus a blind Drag Race ranking with plenty of commentary about the ever-expanding drag universe.

They also talk about countryside living, whether "gay snowflake" should be rebranded as "snowdrop" (it absolutely should) and the merits of 2000s indie music (The Killers vs Kings of Leon)... Before the episode wraps, we have a chaotic game of "Name That Villain" where they prove their extensive knowledge of baddies!

We're here with a new episode of The Final FronTia ... and things are about to get very, very geeky. Yes, Lawrence may be the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK and they may be an international touring powerhouse, but in this episode it's less about drag and more about sonic screwdrivers. On this episode of The Final FronTia , Tia and Lawrence dive deep into their shared Whovian obsession — favourite Doctors, companion discourse, villain rankings, regeneration trauma, and the pure camp theatricality that makes the show such a cultural touchstone. They talk about growing up queer and finding escapism in sci-fi, how Doctor Who shaped their imaginations, and why the show’s heart — kindness, hope and a bit of chaos — resonates so strongly. Naturally, there’s chaos too. The pair swap stories about touring mishaps, Drag Race sisterhood and the delicate art of reading someone without actually starting a war. But then... war does break out... as Lawrence and Tia go head-to-head in a battle to find out who is the biggest fan of Doctor Who , and there are stakes!
