[music]
Danny Beard: Daddy's home. [laugh]
I'm Danny Beard,
and I am a Sassy Shady singing cartoon clown.
[music]
The first ever bearded Drag Queen to be judged
by Miss RuPaul.
Feels exciting.
Actually, I'm not really that hairy.
I'm probably a bit of a disappointment for a baby Queen.
Patchy as fuck
My God!
even though I am from Liverpool,
me Drag was born in Manchester.
I do a 45-minute show of telling crap jokes and singing songs.
So in that respect, that's very traditional British Drag
with the way I present myself is quite modern for a Drag Queen.
I am so excited!
This is the hunger games of Drag and I am hungry for that crown.
Bring on the Queens.
[music]
Baby: No one puts baby in a corner.
Obviously. -Baby's in the building.
Let's ride. Let's go. Let's go. [laugh]
Danny Beard: What's your name?
Baby: I'm Baby.
Danny Beard: Hey baby. I've heard about you from London.
Baby: I've heard about you.
I'm known as like one of the best dancers in London right now.
So I've kind of built a reputation for being at a certain standard,
giving that fantasy of being one of the girls, that's it.
Are you a dancer as well?
Danny Beard: I can do tap, jazz and ballet.
Baby: Same. Same. Oh my God.
Danny Beard: I can't dance for shit
I grew up around such beautiful black women.
Like my cousins with the girls doing their baby hairs.
That's been like the backbone of what do I wanna represent,
and I wanna represent the beauty that I saw around me.
Baby: This is cute though. You look cute.
Thank you.
I wanted to feel like a flowery,like animated, princessy-type situation.
Danny Beard: In there?
Baby: Believe me, How dare you.
[laugh]
[music]
Pixie Polite: They say the camera adds 10 pounds.
Probably shouldn't have had so many for breakfast. Should I?
What am I like?
I'm Pixie Polite. I'm 29 years old.
And I'm British Drag cabaret royalty.
Baby: My love.
Danny Beard: She's cute. She's very cute.
Shut the glove off.
I work on the pub and closet. Seems like a proper old school british Drag.
And what's your name again?
Seems like I don't know you.
And of course, I'm a big old camp cow, Moo.
Baby: So, how do you guys know each other?
Pixie Polite: Well, we met each other during Drag Idol,
big nationwide competition.
Pixie Polite: I came second and Danny came first.
I have to wait and see who wins this time though? Won't we?
Whoo!! [laugh]
Danny Beard: Me and Pixie go way back and I beat her the first time
I can beat her again.
Danny Beard: I'm from Brighton.
Baby: Ah, I used to live down there. Awesome.
Pixie Polite: Oh, you can be the Brighton curse one.
Baby: Wow!
Danny Beard: I was just about to say.
Pixie Polite: As a native Brightonian,
am I worried about the Brighton curse?
a little bit, but instead of going home first,
I'm gonna be the last one out that door, reverse the curse.
Cute lolly. [music]
Sminty Drop: Let's ride losers.
[music]
Pixie Polite: Wow! Baby: Bitch!
Sminty Drop: I'm Sminty Drop, I'm 23 years old.
And I'm from Lancashire.
Baby: I'm so offended. She's so hot.
[laugh]
Sminty Drop: I don't wanna shoot myself in the foot,
but I would definitely say I'm a looks Queen.
I just want be this sort of like masterpiece like a Picasso.
I mean, not like a Picasso painting,
like I'm trying not to look like a Picasso painting.
Danny Beard: She's stunning.
[in chorus] Hi.
Sminty Drop: When people first meet me,
they seem to think that I'm literally the most horrible person ever.
But I promise I've just got a bitchy pain.
I'm feeling horny. -Danny Beard: Wow!
And then when they come up and see me, they're just like,
I got told you're gonna be a massive bitch,
but I think it's just your eyebrows. [laugh]
Danny Beard: You are House of Kendall?
Sminty Drop: I am House of Kendall? Baby: Yeah, baby.
I am the granddaughter of season one of Drag Races
biggest losers of competition, you know?
She was the first loser,
and I'm just here to finish what she could barely start.
Danny Beard: Barely start [laugh].
Pixie Polite: Sminty is apparently in the house of Kendoll,
which, you know, makes me feel better that I can survive at least one week.
[laugh]
[music]
Starlet: Dear Alexa, play get out of my way by Kylie Minoque
Baby: Glamour, glamour!
Starlet: I'm Starlet. I'm 23 years old.
I'm originally from South Africa. I now live in Surrey in the UK.
Sminty Drop: I thought, I was the sparkling one.
I hope she's prepared to be pushed in front of a buss[laugh].
[laugh]
Starlet: I'm magical fantastical, wonderful, gorgeous,
and most importantly humble. [laugh].
[all shouting] Hi!
Sminty Drop: Not another looks Queen. I want the ground to swallow me
Danny Beard: So you like a performer. Do you dance? Do you sing?
You do it all?
Starlet: I'm getting into performing. I've done one performance so far.
Danny Beard: One?
Starlet: Drag for me is all about the look.
I can be an amazing dancer, but take off the Drag and you're just a dancer.
[laugh].
Danny Beard: How old are you?
Starlet: 23.
Pixie Polite: Makes you wanna like, just suck the youth out of you.
Danny Beard: She's only young girl. Don't be sucking anything off her.
Starlet: I really love to be the first South African to win Drag Race.
I'm here to win and I'm taking the crown home with me, thank You. [laugh].
[music]
Jonbers Blonde: Blonde just isn't a hair color, it's a lifestyle.
I'm Jonbers Blonde and I am a showgirl on a Saturday
and an absolute bin fire on a Sunday.
Danny Beard: Is she American?
Pixie Polite: No, no. She's Irish. She's from Ireland.
Jonbers Blonde: What about that land?
I came to London 14 years ago
and I landed in east London and I've stayed her ever since,
I worked for big stylists and done like runway shows.
and then I was a stylist for time.
I love fashion and I love shopping. I love shopping.
Shopping? That is the epitome of Belfast.
You've got your bags shopping and make-up.
Do you feel like there's pressure to do well for Ireland?
I'm here to do me, as we say in Ireland, you do you.
Danny Beard: You know what? And I'm here to do you too, babe!
Jonbers Blonde: I hold my hands, but I can’t resist.
[All shouting] Yay!
[music]
Black Peppa: Fuck salt. cause Pepper's here.
[music]
I am Black Peppa, all these bitches here are blind,
but I'm the season of the season.
[all shouting] Yes.
Black Peppa: I am obsessed, I'm a brownie Queen,
but I am originally from the beautiful island of St. Martin in the Caribbean.
[all shouting] Yeah.
Black Peppa: I'm known for performing.
When you watch me perform, you'll be tired. Not me. You will.
[laugh]
My creativity is definitely my secret weapon.
I have really extravagant looks
and find ways that I can be different and stand out from the crowd.
So hang on. You are a Birmingham Queen.
I am repping Birmingham 110%.
[all shouting] Yes.
Look at me and know that you can be inspired.
I am here to represent queer people of color. Melanin sweetie.
I mean like I'm in a horror film bitch?
Is this the purge?
Whoo! [laugh]
Starlet: That's purge. That's it.
[music] -Girl Power, Know what I mean?
[laugh] Yes, bitch!
Just May: It's me. Just May.
And I'm the world's premier Geraldine Bernadette Estelle Halliwell impersonator
Geraldine Bernadette Halliwell!
Yeah.
Just May: I'm originally from Essex, but now I live in east London.
Yeah.
Just May: Drag scene in east London is huge.
Can't swing a Dick without hitting at least six Drag Queens.
But I'm the one that you call when you want a brunch or you want a host.
Jonbers Blonde: But darling, we of course know each other.
Just May: We've done too many nights together.
Jonbers Blonde: I would say it's probably 10 years.
Baby: Oh, it's for a while.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So it's been, it's been nice to know you, so. [laugh].
[laugh]
Just May's got one of them faces I can't stop staring at.
I don't know if it's the way the makeup is drawn.
She looks like she's about to burst in tears any minute. She alright?
I like to think that I am very good at certain things.
Mainly the Geraldine Estelle Halliwell back catalog
between 1997 and 2003 and she couldn't even get that right [laugh].
[music] -Gorgeous
Hair in mint condition.
Yeah.
I'm Dakota Schiffer and I'm 22 years old.
Look at that tiny little bum.
Dakota Schiffer is a Scandinavian model
that moved to Milan for fashion season few years back
and she's lived there ever since.
Hello, everyone.
[all shouting] Hi!
Fashion is something that
I prioritize in my Drag, it's something it's very much the reason why I do it.
Wow.
My icon Sharon Tate, but there's also Audrey Hepburn,
Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor.
You can have my seat.
Thank you, I'm not gonna take your seat, I'll take Danny's.
Take my seat, take my seat. [laugh]
I love being in Drag, it is celebrating all that femininity
that, was kept from me as a child.
So Drag definitely means everything to me.
Are you excited to be here?
I'm very excited to be here
representing the trans-community for the first time on the franchise.
Yay!
And I'm very honored for the opportunity.
It's not a responsibility I take lightly.
I am so proud to be the first trans-girl here at Drag Race UK.
There's not a lot of dolls that do Drag and I'm here to represent doll-ship.
[laugh].
I'm gonna kick all you men out of the competition.
Wow!
[music]
Copper Topp: I've got ginger nuts,
so pop the kettle on, and I'll give you a tea bag.
[laugh]
Yes. Another ginger.
My name's Copper Topp and I am the feel good Ginger of Drag.
Do you want more of this?
[laugh] yeah.
Sort of Drag that Copper Topp represents is a bit of the old school.
Are you ginger?
Real life, babes. In real life?
Curtains and carpet.
I'm obsessed with Pantomime Dames, and end of the pier Drag.
She was an actor for a few years. She'd done a few Holby Cities
Whoo!
I love acting. I love writing. I love comedy.
Drag allows me to do all of those things and to be fabulous at the same time.
So how old are you if you don't mind me asking?
How young are you? -How young am I? 38!
Oh my God. Nearly 40.
[laugh]
I am repping it for everyone who is climbing to 40,
no matter how old you are, Drag's for anyone.
[music]
Heyo, Loves, I'm Le Fil, and I'm here to fill you up.
Yes.
I'm Le Fil and I ain't no filler Queen.
Dude, down to fucking ankles.
That's cause she's two foot tall.
Yeah.
Loads of things inspire my Drag. Got a touch of Kylie's showgirl-ness
got Gaga's artiness, got Beyonce's thighs.
I love performing, I love singing, I love my music.
What's that accent? -I am from Brighouse!
[all shouting Brighouse!]
Le Fil: You might not have heard of Brighouse,
but two Drag legends come from there.
Myself and Divina de Campo who was also in my school choir
when Divina didn't win, I was like, do you know what?
I'm gonna come and take that crown and that button from her.
I think there's very few Chinese Drag Queens
because our culture is so predominantly focused on academic subjects
and this idea of masculinity and Chinese masculinity that I felt like
I had to conform to, so by the time I could leave home and move to London,
I was set free and here I am.
So would you say you're a triple threat, then?
Oh, I'd say I'm a quadruple,
Ooh!
and I'm gonna be the next UK Drag superstar because
it needs an Asian winner like me, Le Fil.
[music]
Intrigued?
I think you will be.
Yes!
Manchester's arrived
Cheddar Gorgeous: I'm Cheddar Gorgeous.
I'm 498 years old and I'm from the future.
Well also I'm from Birmingham, but my Drag was very much born in Manchester.
A legend.
Gorgeous.
An ancient legend.
Cheddar Gorgeous is like Drag royalty.
Ah! Huh!
You're all beautiful. Shit.
I'm already like, I've gotta step my shit up, I'm haven’t started yet.
Oh, look who it is. Look who it isn't.
Aren't you gorgeous. -Dead on the inside.
Tell them what your strengths are then, girl,
cause we all know you can turn a look.
You know, I don't really specialize in anything, but I think being a Drag's like
being a bit of a Jack of all trade.
I think my Drag's a little bit disruptive, provocative.
It's very, non-binary.
I'm much more interested in being an alien deity
than I am in being a pop princess.
I remember the first time I saw you in Birmingham and you were in the village
just like looking like an alien.
I didn't even do Drag then.
So I was so inspired by you and like,
having this time to share this moment with you like.
Oh thank you.
You were also one of the first Drag Queens I ever saw as well
before I start doing Drag.
Oh God, this is a lot of pressure.
This is your life.
It's a little bit now or never feeling to be in here.
This is the first time I've ever competed for anything
because naturally I've always just seen myself as the winner,
but that's very easy to do when you don't compete.
[laugh]
So I think this is all of us.
What an amazing cast.
[cheering]
Season four, season four, season four.
Oh my God to hear the Rumail in real life is incredible, I've got goosebumps.
RuPaul:: Her Majesty's did already done had herses.
Hey, Racers.
Hi! [in chorus]
The UK next Drag Race superstar never reveals her age,
but she always keeps it 100.
[laugh]
And now that Drag Race is a BBC institution,
I'm giving each of you a license to thrill.
Woo!
So don't hold back cause you are about to make UK herstory
Oh my God.
Danny Beard: James Bond shit
I love to see you rolling out the ocean.
Dakota Schiffer: Rolling in shit more like it?
[laugh]
Oy Oy Saveloy!
Whoo! [cheering]
I thought it was all filter, but my mom looks good.
Come through in your custom suit,girl, you better work
My beautiful Queens, you made it.
Yay.
Now in 10 weeks, one of you lucky bitches
will be crowned the UK's next Drag Race superstar.
And then she'll be whisked away to Hollywood darling,
to create her very own series.
Whoo!
#DragRaceUK.
Oh Brit crew!
Ooh! [laugh]
Oh my God!

Hi, Guy!
You know how to take a photograph, don't you?
There's a wonderful plethora of Just May faces.
Oh really?
And the last count was two.
[laugh]
It's so important to me to do well in this mini challenge
because it's the first time we are in front of Ru and it's Spice things.
May-be.
It's very Geri
[laugh]. Yes.
You know, they always say, if you don't like the weather in Britain,
just wait a minute.
Oh there's the wind.
[laugh] -Makes me wanna' go faster

Woo! Is that a snow storm? Are those snowballs?
Oh, is that rain in London?

Danny Beard. alright, let's start the posing.
Danny Beard: Forget about Scary Spice. I'm Hairy Spice.
Close the big shower.
Yeah. It's a golden shower darling.
Danny Beard: Oh, I thought there was a smell.
[laugh]
Is the meter still running?
You looked like a forties femme fatale
I'm not 40 yet darling.
I know that you are only 33 years old.
That's "tirty tree" in Irish.
[laugh]
There's the rain.
It is gonna take something more than rain.
Touch this, touch all this wet skin.
RuPaul:: There is the storm a' brewin.
[music]
RuPaul:: Hello Dakota!
Oh, we got wind.
Woohoo! Icon icon.
Can't say I've ever stood in top of a black cab before,
but I may have fallen out of one before, don't quote me on that.
[laugh]
RuPaul:: Oh, autumn came early this year.
alright. Let's pose the house down.
RuPaul:: Oh, is that rain?

RuPaul:: Hi. Think space kettles. Yes, much wetter.

I remember we went to see Spice World, Geri kissed an alien,
and I was slightly aroused.
No, I can't say that, I was a child. [laugh] I wasn't.
I was just saying it to fuck to be funny.
RuPaul:: Show me your go-to poses.
Pixie polite: Okay.
RuPaul:: That right there.
Was that a Spice move or was that a Winston Churchill?
Pixie polite: A bit of both.
Pixie Polite: Oh, okay. But we'll fight them on the beaches,

Cheddar Gorgeous: Thank you.
RuPaul:: Oh, I think that slit has gotten even bigger.
Cheddar Gorgeous: That's not the first time somebody said that too.
[laugh] that's what happens when you get it nice and wet.
RuPaul:: That's right. Cheddar Gorgeous: So you later love.
RuPaul:: My Queens, you all did the UK proud, but one of you earned the gold.
The winner of today's mini challenge is
Black Peppa [all shouting] Yay.
RuPaul:: Condragulations.
Black Peppa: I am ecstatic.
I genuinely did not think that was gonna happen
but I am here to show the girls, I'm here to win.
RuPaul:: Okay, ladykins
Now, so we can get to know you better, for this week's maxi challenge,
you'll be serving two looks on the runway.
[applause] Yes.
RuPaul:: First look keeping it 100.
In honor of the BBC's 100th anniversary,
you need to serve a look that is inspired by dear Ol’ Auntie Bee
Whoo! [All shooting].
RuPaul:: And for your second look, Ru are you?
a signature Drag look that puts your charisma uniqueness, nerve and talent
on full display and tomorrow,
you'll be making your main stage debut
where we'll be joined by our extra special guest judge,
the absolutely fabulous, Dame Joanna Lumley.
Oh! [crowd cheering].
Copper Topp: I cannot with this. Ah!
RuPaul:: Just sweetie darlings, don't fuck it up
[laugh]
RuPaul:: Racers, start your engines and may the best Drag Queen win.
[all shouting]
Where is mine?
Cheddar Gorgeous: God, it's the scrobbly bit
where we have to take our clothes off while simultaneously
attempting to piss on some territory.
Copper Topp: Oh, I'm gonna go here.
[all shouting]
Cheddar Gorgeous: I'm in a corner.
Cheddar Gorgeous: But don't get me wrong, I'm dashing to that corner spot
by the mirror.
[laughing]
Sminty Drop: I definitely did not wear the right shoes for this.
I've been here 10 minutes, I've already stacked it. -I've cracked a nail.
[music]
I'm scared. There's gonna be skids in these undies.
[laugh]
Don't fall over girls.
Le Fil: So good.
Dakota: I'm taking stuff out my suitcases and I cannot believe
I'm even in the werkroom with Cheddar and Danny who Drag icons in the UK,
feels very surreal
but I definitely think I've got something unique to offer as well.
Let's bring it on.
[music]
It humbles you when you look around a room and you're like,
oh girl, no matter how good you thought you were.
Stacey over here's gonna be bringing better looks than you.
But my BBC runway is incredible and I cannot wait to serve it.
[Music]
Le Fil: Can I borrow some of that? Just May: Absolutely -I am going to take lashes
From first glances and first appearances,
I feel like everyone's really strong.
I would like to know how everyone did in that challenge,
because I think that would definitely let you see what people's USP is.
That's very true. I just hate photo shoots.
Because I just, all I ever look at, even in Drag, in Drag or out of Drag,
I focus in on the bad thing.
Over the years, I struggled with body image.
Using humor, it's kind of a coping mechanism
and it's something that I've always done ever since I was younger.
Le Fil: I think you look great in all your pictures and like you serve great face.
Just May: Well, I serve one face. [laugh].
That's why I'm always very Geri.
She was the loud over the top, ginger one in the band
and it made such an impact at that age I was being picked on for being
the loud ginger one.
I think she was a kind of a voice of the generation that I needed at that time.
I've gone from being an ageless, Geraldine Bernadette Hallowell
to looking like a ball bag, so -I mean, you are always a ball bag, no?
Just May: In personality, but not in the face.
[music]
[Elimination Day]
Today is the day.
Let's go. Let's go. It's the very first elimination day.
And everyone's portraying this very big confident persona.
[laugh]
They're being Drag Queens about it, but nobody wants to go home first.
I'm just hoping the looks that I've brought can get me through,
so I can keep slaying girl.
Oh, God!
[music]
So ladies, what are we doing for BBC runways?
I'm doing Antiques Roadshow which I'm really excited about.
Oh. What about you guys? What are you doing?
I'm doing Patsy Stone from Ab Fab.
[record scratch] -You're not?
I think I'm a bit more reserved than she is, so it'll be fun to like emulate.
Yeah. In front of her.
What are you doing for your BBC runway?
So I'm doing a Victoria Wood sketch.
Ooh.
And everything I do is based on all of those old comedy shows.
It's completely shaped me.
Shows like Ab Fab, Acorn Antiques, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme,
they are the ingredients that we queers need when we are young
and trying to find ourselves, all of these characters on TV,
was it was my way of like accessing who I was.
You know, you're in a world where everyone around you is saying,
this is wrong and this is wrong and you're there as like a gay little boy going.
This feels right. these characters are so wild.
They allow us to become the best possible person that we can be.
Even if it's being closeted in it, we're in hiding.
At some point it's gonna come out.
Has that sort of formed you into a comedy Queen then?
She likes to flex the comedy muscles. [laugh]
but let's not commit to that. [laugh].
[music]
What are you doing?
Mr. Blobby? Why?
Who is doing blobby?
Miss pink face over there is doing blobby.
I thought you were doing an ostrich with that color face?
[laugh]
Are you really doing blobby?
Yeah. I'm doing pink face. You're doing my face.
You don't have to be so literal, you know, with your references, funny bunny.
It depends on what you consider literal.
You paint your face white every time, babe.
[laugh]
Psych yourself up for that runway girl,
cause you need to psych yourself up for the bus home as well.
[laugh]
Black Peppa: I hope you don't have to lip sync against me.
I will murder you on that stage.
[laugh]
: As long as the lip sync's the blobby song.
[laugh]
Blobby is so iconic.
[music]
[Cover Girl Song]
RuPaul: Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race UK.
Tonight, we celebrate a 100 year old showbiz institution.
Ladies and gentlemen, Michelle Visage.
[laugh]
Michelle Visage: Well, Thank you. Dr. Zizmor
[laugh]
RuPaul: And national treasure Graham Norton.
Graham, how are you celebrating BBC Centennial?
Graham Norton: Probably the way I celebrate most things, you know,
an IV drip of Sauvignon Blanc
[laugh]
RuPaul: See, it's a coffee enema for me.
[laugh]
RuPaul: And the iconic Dame Joanna Lumley.
What a thrill to have you here. Do you have a BBC career highlight?
Dame Joanna Lumley: Yeah. Doing this show, Ru! [laugh]
Well, the honor is all ours.
This week we challenged our Queens to inform educate and entertain
by serving two Ruvealing looks.
And tonight, they're ready to let us have it.
Racers, start your engines and may the best Drag Queen win.
Happy, happy, happy Birthday Baby.
RuPaul: Category is BBC keeping it 100.
First up as the BBC test card, Cheddar Gorgeous.
Ta Da!
Cheddar Gorgeous: I am serving test card clown realness
Graham Norton: I wondered what happened to that little girl.
[laugh]
Cheddar Gorgeous: After the channel's schedule would finish,
it would switch to this test card.
This is one of the things I remember most
about television growing up in the 1800's.
Dame Joanna Lumley: It's red nose day.
[laugh]
Cheddar Gorgeous: I'm bringing the judges glamour on the edge of sanity,
which I think is something we can all relate to right now, isn't it?
[laugh]
RuPaul: As Blue Peter; Jonbers Blonde. -So this is what Blue Peter is.
Jonbers Blonde: All aboard judges get on this Blue Peter ship.
Let's go sailing
Dame Joanna Lumley: I hope that's not made with sticky back plastic.
Jonbers Blonde: So walking down the runway,
I'm thinking, here's what I made earlier.
RuPaul:: Note to self, never perm your own hair. [laugh].
RuPaul: As Pudsey Bear, Le Fil.
Michelle: Supporting Queens in need.
Children in need is an iconic part of BBC history, it has raised so much money.
Dame Joanna Lumley: It's all for a good paws.
Le Fil: OMG! There's nothing grizzly about my look, I look pawfect.
Sadly, she killed the real Pudsey to make that coat. [laugh].
Michelle Visage: Graham.
RuPaul: As the Antiques Roadshow, Sminty Drop.
Ooh, the shade!
Sminty Drop: I'm serving Antiques Road Ho. You can put me up in your collection.
Michelle Visage: I heard she loves the L.E.D [laugh].
Sminty Drop: Nobody has ever seen an Antique lamp this sexy before.
It's not just the bulb that's getting hot.
Dame Joanna Lumley: What a turn on [laugh].
Sminty Drop: If I was on the Antiques Road Show,
I'd be the last item featured. Priceless.
[music]
RuPaul: Baby as Rastamouse.
Baby: I have my red marshall hat giving traditional Rastafarian.
You see this guy walking around, hacking with his locks,
tucks up in the hat.
Michelle Visage: Oh the dreaded runway baby.
RuPaul: Yes.
Baby: Rastamouse would be squeaking from the rooftops girl, I know already.
RuPaul: As Anne Boleyn from Horrible Histories, Dakota Schiffer.
Dakota Schiffer: I'm serving you a tutor fashion fantasy
inspired by the terrible tutors of horrible histories,
which I grew up with on television.
RuPaul: Hey Anne, how's your head?
Michelle Visage: I think she's had some complaints, Ru.
Dakota Schiffer: That me and giving you a bit more of a fashion interpretation.
I feel like a terribly gorgeous tutor walking the runway.
Graham: Off with her skirt.
Michelle Visage: Oh my God. That was my next line! [laugh]
[music]
RuPaul: Danny Beard as Mr. Blobby.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Blobby hell [laugh]
RuPaul: Mr. Blobby is iconically British and it's also terrifying.
Was it Noel Edmonds in there? It's a bit creepy in it.
Graham Norton: I think I saw her crinkly bottom.
Danny Beard: I wanted something big, bold,
and something that I could merge with club kids.
RuPaul: If Lee Bowery were alive today.
Michelle Visage: Oh absolutely.
RuPaul: As the Queen Victoria bust, Just May.
Just May: I've gone for a character from my favourite BBC show East Enders
and there's no one more iconic from that show than the Queen Big bust.
RuPaul: Yes, Queen Victoria.
[laugh]
Just May: I'm giving great head [laugh] and shoulders.
Graham Norton: Get outta my runway. [laugh]
RuPaul: As Julie Walters in the two soup sketch, Copper Topp.
Copper Topp: This BBC look is exactly what I believe
The BBC is. Great comedy content.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Is it on the trolley? [laugh]
Copper Topp: Julie Walters, Victoria Wood, Joanna Lumley,
who has literally sat in front of me, I need to serve up pure comedy babes.
RuPaul: Waiter, there's a tit in my soup. [laugh]
RuPaul: Starlet as Patsy Stone.
Graham Norton: This is awkward.
Starlet: To be here on the runway in front of Patsy herself is mind blowing.
Dame Joanna Lumley: I love it.
Patsy has dropped her fag.
Dame Joanna Lumley: And her panties.
Starlet: I'm wearing a Chanel inspired tweed suit,
with one of Patsy's catch phrases printed on the back.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Little bitch troll from hell. [laugh]
Dame Joanna Lumley: This is gorgeous.
Starlet: Absolutely fabulous darling. It's Laqua darling. Thank you, darling.
Thank you. [laugh]
RuPaul: Up next, Pixie Polite as Del Boy.
Pixie Polite: Only Fools is something that me and my dad used to watch together
a lot when I was younger
and it's really special for me to do this look on the runway.
Yeah. I love him a lot. I love my mom too. Hi mom!
Dame Joanna Lumley: Lovely. Juvley [laugh]
Pixie Polite: I'm wheeling and dealing down the runway,
selling all of my Knick Knacks and thingamabobs feeling like an absolute blonker.
Graham Norton: That's where they went. [laugh]
Michelle Visage: I'll tell Cheryl Hole where to get them. [laugh]
RuPaul: Up next, Black Peppa as Mr. Blobby, the sequel. [laugh].
Black Peppa: I decided to pick Blobby because Blobby is chaotic
and once you get to know Peppa, she is chaotic.
Graham Norton: Do my fingers look big in this?
Black Peppa: [laugh] I am turning
and twirling and then I look at RuPaul
and I'm like Blobby and then I look at Michelle
and I'm like Blobby, Blobby, Blobby.
Michelle Visage: Miss Phalange. [laugh]
Can you feel the love?
Category is Ru are you signature Drag? First up, Cheddar Gorgeous.
Dame Joanna Lumley: By the hammer of flaw.
Cheddar Gorgeous: What am I serving? Isn't it obvious?
I'm clearly a post-industrial non-binary alien warrior diety.
I think that's Joan of ours.
I really wanted to bring something that was quintessentially how I look
when I do Drag.
Graham Norton: She's got a point that a hammer at homo.
Cheddar Gorgeous: I forged this armor myself
and I am ready to go into battle with it.
RuPaul: Jonbers Blonde.
Michelle Visage: Why don't you come up to my pit stop sometime?
Jonbers Blonde: We're on Drag Race UK.
What better time to wear my dad's old re-fashioned motorcycle leathers
into a new Drag look.
Graham Norton: I can't see your helmet.
Michelle Visage: Graham.
Jonbers Blonde: To have family here with me and be in front of Ru,
is just a dream come true.
RuPaul:: That's what you call a Moto cross-dresser. [laugh]
RuPaul: Le Fil.
Michelle: Are you Red E for me? -I am serving you Union Jack.
East meets West, superhero flying from all around the world into your bossom.
Graham Norton: Someone at the door, I think
Le Fil: This is quintessential Le Fil.
In Chinese culture, red is a celebration color.
So it's meant to bring joy and warmth. And that's what I want to exude.
Graham Norton: Red to fill. [laugh]
RuPaul: Sminty Drop.
Sminty Drop: This look is quintessential Sminty Drop.
Graham Norton: Seriously. When are we making that door bigger?
RuPaul:: [laugh] I know.
I've got my black latex gloves and stocking on
because I like that renaissance-y feel. Gorgeous.
Dame Joanna Lumley: She's taken up curling.
Sminty Drop: Huge hair, huge heels, tiny waist, Sminty Drop.
Sminty Drop: Who run the world? Curls. [laugh]
RuPaul: Baby.
RuPaul:: alright. Puff Momma.
We're giving all the little detailed embellishment.
Each of these stones have been hand stoned on
and I wanted to look like my nan's sofa in Tottenham.
RuPaul: In case of emergency, Baby can be used as a flotation device. [laugh]
Baby: We have a traditional Nigerian hairstyle.
I will be framing my gorgeous, gorgeous face
Michelle Visage: Cheeky.
Baby: Everything that I want to say about myself right here on this runway
and I am so proud of this look.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Drop red gorgeous.
RuPaul: Dakota Schiffer.
Dakota Schiffer: I am giving you
a signature Dakota Schiffer fancy. Scandinavian model vibes
is the attempt I'm trying to give you.
Dame Joanna Lumley: A little bit of glove goes a long, long way. [laugh]
Dakota Schiffer: Chic and eccentric. That's a Schiffer look through and through.
Michelle Visage: Anastasia, they're teen years
RuPaul: Danny Beard.
Michelle Visage: That was my nickname in high school, Michelle Beard.
RuPaul:: That was your profession.
Michelle Visage: That's thrill [laugh].
Danny Beard: I wanted to share with the judges a little bit of me.
It's gender fuckery, which is what I'm known for.
Dame Joanna Lumley: I love a bit of foil play, sweetie.
Danny Beard: This showcases who I am,
because it is about serving the face, my face.
Michelle Visage: There's some grace in your face. [laugh]
RuPaul: Not April. Just May.
Michelle Visage: Just Ginger Spice? [laugh]
Just May: My Ru are you look, it's me all over my body
because I'm what? Branded.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Oh, she's all over it.
Just May: This look is bringing everything that I do best.
Big hair, big art and big tits.
Graham Norton: I can't face any more. [laugh]
RuPaul: Copper Topp. I'd like to buy a vowel.
Copper Topp: The judges, they have got no idea what's going on,
but then wait for it, I'm not just a ginger fag.
I'm ginger and fag-ulous baby.
Michelle Visage: Yes.
Copper Topp: This entire runway is all about me
reclaiming all of those shitty little words that I've been called
throughout my entire life.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Be my Clementine [laugh].
Copper Topp: I'm not trying to be anything else other than me, Copper Topp.
Graham Norton: Orphan Annie's all grown up.
RuPaul: Oh yes.
RuPaul: Starlet.
Dame Joanna Lumley: She's come out winging. [laugh]
Starlet: For my Ru are you look, I am serving classic all time beauty,
Cinderella, Bonna Turner and Glenda, the good witch.
RuPaul:: Get a load of that tool.
Starlet: What I'm wearing is a good representation of my name
cause I'm legit an old Hollywood Starlet, that was so bad.
Oh my God. That was awful.
RuPaul: Pixie Polite.
Graham Norton: Storm clouds are gathering. [laugh]
Pixie Polite: I wanted to go for a classic end of the pier darling.
I am a ray of freakin sunshine.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Oh, I can see her pot of gold, darling. [laugh]
Pixie Polite: I think this look says a lot about me
because she's polite by name, polite by nature.
So she can bring a bit of sunshine into your life, that's all I'd asked for dear.
RuPaul: Always after me lucky charm.
Michelle Visage: Have you ever found your lucky charm?
RuPaul: No. Never have
RuPaul: Black Peppa.
Michelle Visage: I think she bought this on quality street.
Black Peppa: I am chocolate. I am 100% melanin.
Dame Joanna Lumley: I like it a-choco-lot.
Black Peppa: And I turn that corner and now I'm feeling my oats and then,
Uh-Oh!
The head piece falls and I'm gutted.
However, we gotta keep it moving.
And I look at the judges and I give even more and I'm like, eat it up.
I am the chocolate who needs that chocolate head piece.
Graham Norton: She's such a mal tease er. [laugh]
[music]
RuPaul: Welcome Queens.
When I call your name, please step forward.
Cheddar Gorgeous, Jonbers Blonde, Le Fil, Baby, Danny Beard, Pixie Polite.
[music]
Ladies, you are all safe.
You may leave the stage.
Thank you.
[music]
RuPaul: Ladies, you represent the tops and the bottoms of the wheek.
Now, it's time for the judge's critiques. First up, Sminty Drop.
Michelle Visage: Hi Sminty. Sminty Drop: Hello
Michelle Visage: You chose Antiques Roadshow and I love Antiques Roadshow.
And what you did was mind blowing.
Sminty, it took my breath away.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Sminty what I love to see is ambition,
massive lampshade, gorgeous.
Graham Norton: This, again just it's flawless.
It does the job of telling us about your aesthetic and so excited to see
what comes next
RuPaul: Was there anything that you wanted to do
in this presentation that you did not get to do?
Sminty Drop: I would've loved to have walked through the doorway
standing up straight, preferably.
RuPaul: Actually it was quite beautiful how you did it.
alright. Well thank you Sminty.
Sminty Drop: Thank you so much.
RuPaul: Up next, Dakota Schiffer. Hello, darling.
Dakota Schiffer: Hello.
Michelle Visage: So you were giving us abiline in horrible history.
Dakota Schiffer: Yes.
Michelle Visage: I think what was missing was fun.
Dakota Schiffer: Yes.
Michelle Visage: I know nerves,
but you need to allow that to just dissipate
because you're here for a reason.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Dakota, I think you're absolutely drop dead gorgeous
and I'd love to see particularly this look much more eye catching.
Graham Norton: The standard of this group is so high.
It seems a little plain in this mix.
RuPaul:: This challenge was meant to give us an idea of how your mind works.
Where are you coming from?
Dakota Schiffer: I sort of envisioned this as like Anne Taylor Joy
in a Valentinocampaign, but I completely taken your critiques as well
because everyone's done so well tonight.
So yes, I really want to take them on board.
RuPaul:: Thank you very much. alright. Up next Just May.
Michelle Visage: Now, your East Ender's bust was ridiculous
and stupid and funny and I actually enjoyed it.
Graham Norton: What let it down was the construction
where it sort of looked like Queen Victoria was pregnant.
She'd balanced a pint on her belly.
[laugh]
Michelle Visage: Tonight, Ru are ya. To me, it is kind of run of the mill.
I feel like you need to elevate it some more.
Dame Joanna Lumley: I think you're gorgeous and I'd love to see your not,
not so made up face because you're beautiful.
And I think I would just like to see that not having to go,
hey kids, do you know what I mean? [laugh] you are great.
Just May: Thank you.
Michelle: That's awkward Joanna. She's not wearing any makeup.
Tinted moisturizer.
[laugh]
RuPaul: Do you always wear the big exaggerated eye?
Just May: Yeah. I'm pretty limited with my makeup skills.
but you know, we're gonna try different things.
RuPaul: Yeah. Where are you from?
Just May: Originally from Essex, but now I'm in East London.
RuPaul: You're in East London. Is that where Stratford mall is?
Just May: I'm very close to it.
RuPaul: I love that mall.
Just May: Yeah. I used to work there.
RuPaul: Really at one of the makeup shops?
Michelle Visage: No, obviously [laugh]
Just May: I used to run the moisturizer shop.
RuPaul: I thought I recognized you.
Just May: My best customer. [laugh]
RuPaul: Thank you, May.
Just May: Thank you.
RuPaul: alright. Up next, Copper Topp.
Michelle Visage: So you chose an iconic sketch
and I thought that you did it as Drag as one could do it.
The thing that stuck me a little bit was it was kind of the same character
throughout, even though it was a character, this is a Drag show.
So I always look for ups and downs and taking us on the journey.
Graham Norton: This you've told your story and I thought that was brilliant.
I do think the letters are, I dunno, they look a bit like I might have been
able to do that
and I should never think that when I look at something here.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Copper Topp, you've got funny bones.
You can't help but entertain, you've just got it in you and I love that
RuPaul: So I do love Julie Walters.
I wasn't crazy about the presentation of of it,
but this outfit is visually arresting.
Why have you chosen to make that word part of your statement?
Copper Topp: Ginger fag.
I've heard incessantly throughout my entire life and I still hear it today.
My Drag is now trying to take what I thought was a weakness
and strengthen it and so I want to kind of make a big statement here
just to say I'm finally owning it and I'm proud.
RuPaul: Thank you. Copper Topp: Thank you.
RuPaul: Up next, Starlet.
Graham Norton: So starlet, when I heard you're doing practice star,
I must, my heart did slightly sink cause, and I don't think I'm speaking
outta turn, but you know, the original was quite close to Drag already.
But I thought you did a good job of elevating it slightly.
Dame Joanna Lumley: Loved it.
Thought you looked beautiful, I've seen lots of Patsy's
and I'm always jealous of the Drag Patsy cause they're always
much better than I or Patsy ever was, so, thank you.
Michelle Visage: This tonight is so pretty.
It's very, you know, 1940s, very old Hollywood.
I learned a lot about how Starlet does Drag tonight.
RuPaul: From the moment you walked into the workroom,
you were so put together.
The only thing I worry about is that you are kind of timid.
Starlet: I am a naturally shy meeting people at first.
I'm not sure why that is. But my purest self I'm a massive goof ball
RuPaul: Well allow us in on that. Okay?
Starlet: Will do. RuPaul: alright. Well thank you.
Starlet: Thank you.
RuPaul: Up next, Black Peppa.
Michelle Visage: Black Peppa. I'm white salt. Nice to meet you. [laugh]
So, you were the second of the Mr. Blobbys.
Black Peppa: Yeah.
Michelle Visage: And what I loved about the way you did it was
you made it fashion.
You interpreted it your way that tells us how Black Peppa does Drag.
Graham Norton: Well, you went ages for a Drag, Mr. Blobby [laugh]
and then two, this beautiful, absolutely stunning.
And when it fell off this big head piece, I could see you kind of thinking,
should I pick that up and then deciding no, I am still fabulous.
Black Peppa: I am Chocolate. [laugh]
Dame Joanna Lumley: This look, I think is out of this world.
There's something majestic, but the way you fooled around with
those long purple points and that licking your chest and tasting it,
I thought we all want to do that., we just wanna be upon you, stunning.
RuPaul: I didn't mind that the chocolate fell off. It looks delicious. Just love.
Love. Love it. Tell me about your experience thus far in this competition.
Coming on this show is something I've always wanted to do.
It just makes me feel so happy.
[laugh] the reason why I was welled up is because
I'm just thinking my parents are gonna see this and they could finally
understand me and just means so much to be on this stage to show the
whole world what I can bring.
This is me and Drag has changed my life and I can finally shine my
light that I've always hid my entire life growing up.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you ladies.
I think we've heard enough while you untuck in the werkroom,
the judges and I will deliberate. You may leave the stage.
To being safe.
I'm like, oh my gosh, cheer.
Bitch, I broke the curse.
[cheering].
Yes. When I got off, then I was shaking thinking, oh God,
thank God. I've not gone home first. Listen, I'm just happy to be safe.
I feel like week one, you just don't wanna be that sacrificial lamb.
Do you know what I mean?
You have such confidence, Danny,
that it's been nice to see like a little bit more nervousness.
A lot of that is a front. You know what I mean? Like I don't want know.
Oh, babes.
Part of it is also a control thing.
Like if I have everyone's laughing around me that then they like me, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I hate when people do this. When they....
She's showing her feelings!
Hi girls.
Hi
What's happened to..
Who's bottoms?
I think it's me and Copper.
Really?
Yeah. You got some good critique though, babe,
Are you okay.
Baby?
I really thought I would accelerate this challenge and I felt like I didn't do
myself proud.
Being in the bottom right now Doesn't mean you're going home, babe.
That's right.
You can fight. -I'm gonna fight.
I mean, look at you!
How are you feeling?
Oh, don't -You destroyed me
I know I could have elevated it more and I know that I could have pushed it.
Do you know what? Copper Topps look is ugly.
but do you know what else is ugly? Homophobia.
So I'm really glad that she brought this look and could share this story on the
runway.
Just May, how you feeling, love?
Um.
I'm so confident in what I do, that when I'm takien out my comfort zone,
it fucks me up. Looking around me at the other two.
All I'm thinking to myself is even though the judges found faults from my
outfits, I'm hoping that my personality is enough to get me through.
At this point.
You're on amazing form. You just need to embrace the situation. and just...
You do ye.
[laugh].
Peppaa. You got really good critiques. How you feel
about that? -I, I have no words. Actually.
I've always been teased about my dark complexion.
I just wanted to like dedicate that to all the dark skin people out there. Like,
you know, you can love the skin that you're in and when your mom and dad
see this
Oh God.
They'll be very proud. . Well don't get..
Smashed it, babe. Like the head piece. [laugh].
Now just between us squirrel friends. What do you think?
And we got a strong group of Queens. Let's start with Sminty Drop
Honest to God. The light was on [laugh].
I loved Sminty an addiction to massive headgear, which I'm appreciative of
All I'm thrilled that Sminty is here. She is a star.
But you know, listen, this competition is more than just look.
So we'll see if Sminty has the goods.
Let's move on down to Dakota Schiffer.
I think what was missing for me in both of her looks was a personality.
Think.
The thing that let her down in that little green dress,
she wore was the little train, which was just so humble. [laugh].
And.
So little, you know what I mean? She.
She came up with ideas, but then didn't let herself run with them. Well.
You know, what was missing was a point of view for looking for Ru are you.
Alright, Just May.
Where Dakota Schiffer didn't give enough,
Just May gave a lot [laugh] she admitted her makeup skills were not her thing.
I think she's really gonna struggle with that.
Though she's reaching for it, She hadn't achieved glamor in her
Ru are you look. It was sweet, but it wasn't glamorous.
She has the personality. She has those things, that money can't buy,
but now she needs to finesse it all.
So likable. But again, we want to see something special.
Alright, Copper Topp
Copper Topp chose two soups. It just was missing the full story.
It was one note all along
The way that he incorporated Julie Walter's physicality into the walk
I thought it was good. The second look,
I really appreciated it because she thought about it. And she said,
this is who people said I was, but this is who I am.
And it seemed that she had interpreted this question,
Ru are you, rather more deeply than many of the others who just were looking
gorgeous and putting on their prettiest clothes.
I think you're absolutely right.
It felt like the outfit was a vehicle for this message.
Alright, let's move on down to Starlet.
You know,
there's nothing more nerve-wracking than performing somebody's peace
in front of said artist.
I like bitch troll from hell except the quote is little bitch troll from hell.
[laugh].
Ah, yes.
What threw me away completely was this ferry from the top of the Christmas tree.
Wow. That was so unbelievably beautiful.
The attention to detail, the beading, all of that made you think. Ooh,
I cannot wait to see what else you have.
If you thought this was spectacular, wait till you see the outfit
She walks into the werkroom in. Probably my favorite outfit
ever to walk into that werkroom. Really?
It.
Was breathtaking. alright, let's move on down to Black Peppa
I am a fan of Black Peppa already. Very confident, very capable.
Ru are you? Oh, that was gorgeous. That beautiful head piece. It fell off.
She didn't show us. She just kept going.
I loved her Mr. Blobby. In fact she'd taken all the blobby-ness about it. I,
the pinkness [laugh] and incorporated that, but made a thing of rare beauty.
Tonight was the first time I'd ever heard of Mr. Blobby [laugh] and uh.
It was gorgeous. -I wouldn't Google Mr. Blobby. You'll be very disappointed
Oh really? [laugh] -Blobby -Blobby, Blobby, Blobby.
Silence. I've made my decision.
Bring back my girls. -Welcome back ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Sminty Drop. You are safe.
You may join the other girls.
Thank you so much. I love you so much.
Starlet. You are safe.
You may join the other girls. -Thank you
[laugh].
Black Peppa. Life is like a box of chocolates.
You never know when they'll fall off your head.
[laugh].
Condragulations. You're the winner of this week's challenge.
You've earned a coveted Ru Peter badge,
Wear it with pride. You may join the other girls.
Thank you. Woo.
My first Ru Peter Badge and I feel so good.
Just May. The judges loved your personality,
but your runway presentations were a bit of a bust
Dakota Schiffer pretty is as pretty does.
You'd like to see more. Copper Topp....
Your honesty bold is over,
but your looks weren't quite to our taste.
Copper Topp. You are safe.
Oh yes.
Thank you. -You may join the other girls.
Well done. Copper baby.
Dakota Schiffer, Just May. I'm sorry, my dears,
but you are up for elimination.
I fought for
this opportunity for so many years and there is no way I'm going home first
tonight.
Two Queens stand before me.
I've consulted with the judges,
but the final decision is mine to make.
Ladies, this is your last chance to impress me and save
yourself from elimination.
The time has come for you to lip sync,
for your life.
What the judges have said is in the past and all I can do is my best boots go.
I'm gonna try whatever I can to stay in this competition.
Good luck.
And don't fuck it up.
Yo.
