Synopsis

A UK version of the international hit series. According to the BBC's press release:

Ten drag queens compete in a number of individual and team challenges, culminating in a weekly "Maxi Challenge" that might involve a performance, a photo shoot or a runway walk-off.
The drag artists will be gradually whittled down until one is left standing as the champion.

We've advised to expect all sorts of celebrity guest stars.

Trivia

When the first series was first made available, it was online only via BBC Three. The show was repeated on Friday night BBC1 from the start of 2020. Series two was mid-series when the pandemic hit; social distancing affected episode five onwards, with Queens on Lockdown showing what the queens got up to during the filming break. Series three's repeats aired on Mondays after the news, except for episode four, which was delayed by half an hour to accommodate a postponed Have I Got News for You, and episode six, which was delayed by an hour to accommodate a climate debate. BBC Three resumed terrestrial broadcasting in February 2022; we do not expect BBC1 to carry any further repeats.
