00:00:04I'm like the Loch Ness Monster, a legend.
00:00:10My name is Laurence Cheney, I'm 23 years old and I'm Scotch-
00:00:20Oh my god, I am the first one, it's just like my friends list on Facebook, no one!
00:00:25I am the first Queen from Scotland to be on Drag Race UK and I'm glad to be popping everyone's
00:00:32cherry of their Scottish-lessness.
00:00:35Here we go, Scotland is here, I come with subtitles, I promise.
00:00:41I am the Susan Boyle of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, because I dreamed a dream.
00:00:47I don't know the other lyrics, but I'm sure as fuck Subo didn't either.
00:00:54Let's see what the UK queens are bringing.
00:01:02Oh my god!
00:01:08That's brilliant, you couldn't have planned that!
00:01:11You couldn't...
00:01:19Roses are red and violets are blue, here's your winner of season two.
00:01:25Hi, my name is Cherry Valentine, I am 26 years old and I am from Darlington.
00:01:31Oh, she's coming for blood!
00:01:34I'm not a comedy queen, I'm not a performance queen, I'm not a look queen, I'm all of them.
00:01:37Watch out bitches!
00:01:38Here I am!
00:01:41Oh my god!
00:01:43Hi darling!
00:01:44You look amazing!
00:01:45I'm Cherry.
00:01:46I've been doing drag for just over a year now.
00:01:49My boyfriend came home one day and I was in a dress and he was like, this is new.
00:01:54Where are you from?
00:01:56Darlington.
00:01:57Ah!
00:01:57Do they have good teeth in Darlington?
00:01:59No.
00:02:03I do have three jobs at the minute.
00:02:05Drag queen, I do Botox, I do fillers and I'm a mental health nurse.
00:02:09So I'm literally like a one woman band.
00:02:11I could be travelling the world, giving queens Botox, putting on a show and then coming afterwards
00:02:15and giving them some therapy.
00:02:19Do you make your own costumes?
00:02:21Absolutely!
00:02:22If it doesn't look cheap and homemade...
00:02:23It's not drag.
00:02:25You're not from Darlington yet.
00:02:32It is finally time to spill the Tia.
00:02:36Reveal!
00:02:37It's not a reveal.
00:02:39Sars.
00:02:41I'm Tia Kofi and I am a lovely brown caffeinated beverage.
00:02:46Drink it up.
00:02:47Delicious.
00:02:48I named myself after Tia Mowry from the iconic Sister Sister and former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
00:02:56I was nearly called Tamara Boutros Boutros Ghali but it didn't have the same ring to it.
00:03:00Oh, hello!
00:03:01Hi Darling!
00:03:02Hi Darling!
00:03:03I'm bringing live vocals.
00:03:04I'm not really sort of too fussed about looking the best.
00:03:08I'm just there to entertain the audience.
00:03:11So stick that in your death droppin' shablam.
00:03:15I'm originally from Essex but I now live in Clapham.
00:03:18What's Clapham?
00:03:19Clapham's just really gay.
00:03:20There's lots of gays in Clapham.
00:03:22Oh, fabulous.
00:03:23There's a massive difference between a Clapham queen and an East London queen.
00:03:27For starters, Clapham queens can entertain audiences.
00:03:30Hmm.
00:03:32Oh.
00:03:33Come on, tits Mickey.
00:03:35Oh my God, they're massive.
00:03:37I'm vegan.
00:03:40I am Bimini Bomboulash and I'm East London's plant-based princess.
00:03:44She looks like a Barbie.
00:03:46Yeah.
00:03:47Bitch.
00:03:48I'm like the most famous vegan in East London.
00:03:51Because I don't stop going on about it.
00:03:56Hey, girl.
00:03:57Hey, Ginger.
00:03:58Oh my God.
00:03:58How are we?
00:03:59The biggest misconception of my drag is that I am just sexy.
00:04:05I can't stop looking at them boobs.
00:04:07Thank you, the natural.
00:04:09But I can dance.
00:04:10I'm East London's bendiest bitch.
00:04:13There's not been a pole high enough that I've not been able to drop, split, down.
00:04:17And all it takes is a bit of delusion.
00:04:19So where are you from, isn't it?
00:04:20I'm East London queen.
00:04:22Love it.
00:04:23Love it.
00:04:23Originally, I'm from Norwich.
00:04:25South London.
00:04:26Cool.
00:04:26So like, same city.
00:04:27Yeah.
00:04:27Different vibe.
00:04:28Yeah, yeah.
00:04:29I'm from Glasgow.
00:04:31My mum's from Glasgow.
00:04:32I am your mum.
00:04:35I think Bimini's one of my gals.
00:04:38And me and my gals, we eat chicken nuggets together.
00:04:43She's a vegan.
00:04:45Oh, fuck!
00:04:53I am fast, it's me and Ginny Lemon.
00:04:57Funciest life!
00:05:01I'm Ginny Lemon.
00:05:03And I'm an icon.
00:05:05This is why you need to stop doing drag at 30 people.
00:05:08I'm an absolute bastard of a drag queen.
00:05:12I would say I'm a glamour nana.
00:05:13I'm definitely a pig in a wig.
00:05:15I'm beautiful, talented, glamorous, and very modest.
00:05:24I love Ginny Lemon.
00:05:26Fancy a slice!
00:05:27What do you do successfully?
00:05:29I rule the scene in the West Midlands.
00:05:32That's what I do, really.
00:05:33Worcester.
00:05:33It's the left nipple of the West Midlands.
00:05:37I think fashion-wise, a hybrid between Grace Jones and Sue Pollard.
00:05:45What was your name again?
00:05:47Cherry Valentine.
00:05:48You had to think then, didn't you?
00:05:48I'm only young.
00:05:49You're only young?
00:05:50Well, you look much older in person.
00:05:51Do you know what?
00:05:52It's got a stereotype about you.
00:05:54Cheeky bitch!
00:06:00Ding dong, bitches.
00:06:01The baby doll of Dundee has arrived.
00:06:05Hi, I'm Ellie Diamond.
00:06:07I'm 21 years old.
00:06:08And you can find me doing the tune in Dundee, Bonnie, Scotland.
00:06:14Miss Piggy.
00:06:17Lawrence, are you okay, hon?
00:06:19You're not the only Scottish queen on the season now.
00:06:23Hi!
00:06:26My drag is definitely inspired by cartoons.
00:06:28I love to use bright colours.
00:06:30I'm a look queen.
00:06:30I'm very Instagram-driven.
00:06:32I like to do a lot of, like, costume things and stuff.
00:06:33Did you make this?
00:06:34Yeah, yeah, I made this.
00:06:35Yeah, gorgeous.
00:06:36Oh, my God.
00:06:3799.9% of everything that I've brought to Drag Race is made by me.
00:06:41Apart from, you know, the shoes.
00:06:42But we're learning how to do that soon enough.
00:06:44You're both Scottish.
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:46Do you know each other by any chance?
00:06:47Oh, my God.
00:06:48I feel like you might.
00:06:48Do we know each other?
00:06:50You messaged me on Instagram before you started drag.
00:06:53Asking where you got a bodysuit and a waistband wig from.
00:06:55And I gave you my terrible advice.
00:06:57There's many amazing Scottish queens.
00:06:59But there's only one Laurence Cheney.
00:07:02And she's sat here in this chair and it's about a break.
00:07:05We're good friends, though.
00:07:06Yeah, yeah, we're good friends.
00:07:07And you have styled my wigs.
00:07:08You styled your wigs.
00:07:09Yeah.
00:07:10Laurence is definitely competition.
00:07:11But I know I am the best drag queen in Scotland,
00:07:14and these other bitches better watch out.
00:07:16Period.
00:07:26Well, I don't know what all the fuss is about.
00:07:28It doesn't look any bigger than the Mauritania.
00:07:31I don't know why.
00:07:32Oh, I didn't get that.
00:07:34Hi, I'm Sister Sister.
00:07:35I'm 31 years old and I'm from Liverpool.
00:07:38She went down on a snurf this morning.
00:07:41I thought I represented very normal drag,
00:07:44until I started working with other drag queens and realised...
00:07:47I don't know why.
00:07:53Sister Sister is a comedy queen.
00:07:56My humour's very dry.
00:07:57Like, I think it would be easy to miss things.
00:07:59Or maybe the jokes were just never there for you to find in the first place.
00:08:03Who knows?
00:08:04Where is it you're from?
00:08:05I'm from Liverpool.
00:08:05Liverpool.
00:08:06You don't sound like you're from Liverpool.
00:08:08I know.
00:08:09I like shocking people,
00:08:11making people question whatever it is that they're looking at that's drawn on my face.
00:08:16This is fun.
00:08:17How exciting.
00:08:18Honestly, it's just nice to be out of the house.
00:08:20Were you first in?
00:08:21Yeah.
00:08:22First in, first down.
00:08:23Good.
00:08:23Lovely.
00:08:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:08:34This doesn't look like Barrie Island,
00:08:36but it sure will do.
00:08:39Oi, oi, oi, Savaloi.
00:08:41I'm Tace, I'm 25 and I'm from Newport, South Wales.
00:08:44Let's go.
00:08:46Get it, bitch.
00:08:47Welsh Queen, Welsh Queen.
00:08:53When I was younger, my inspiration was Cruella de Vil.
00:08:56That's what I looked like, you know?
00:08:57Villain.
00:08:58But sweet as hell.
00:09:00I'm about to come show my face, say hi, see what's going on.
00:09:03You've got such a sexy accent.
00:09:05It is gorgeous.
00:09:06Keep talking, please.
00:09:07Stop flirting.
00:09:08I have a few little Welsh little sayings I can bring to the place.
00:09:11You know, we've got Poppity Pig, microwave.
00:09:14Sysnag, sausage.
00:09:16Skladeon.
00:09:17I forgot what that is.
00:09:19I'm not the worst Welsh in the world.
00:09:23What's your performance background?
00:09:24Oh, I love to dance my ass.
00:09:27Yeah, you're a dance queen.
00:09:28Yes.
00:09:28I'm going to bring you the dancing, the funny, the goofy.
00:09:33I'm just all over the shop, really.
00:09:34I'm a bit of a mess.
00:09:35But a hot mess.
00:09:45I know what you're thinking.
00:09:47God, Glenn Close looks rough.
00:09:50Yes, bitch!
00:09:51Oh, God!
00:09:53I am the international cabaret sensation, Joe Black.
00:09:59Come on, crystal ball.
00:10:00Stornin'.
00:10:01Stornin'.
00:10:01I have been doing cabaret shows for 13 years.
00:10:04I think I'm fairly well known.
00:10:06I think I've made a little reputation for myself.
00:10:08Maybe other people coming in to the competition might be familiar.
00:10:17The cabaret queen has arrived and bringing to this competition some cartoonish, ridiculous,
00:10:23glamorous looks.
00:10:24But it's entirely likely that I will fall over.
00:10:28Joe, you're quite internationally kind of renowned.
00:10:31I couldn't say such things, but I do quite well for myself.
00:10:34Oh, does she?
00:10:35What?
00:10:36She's the Gloria Swanson of drag.
00:10:37Oh, I wish I was.
00:10:39Definitely.
00:10:39Emily.
00:10:48Oh, my.
00:10:50Well, I think it's about time to get this party started.
00:10:53Right now!
00:10:55I'm Veronica Green, I'm 34 years old, and I'm known for going from Gollum to Gorgeous in
00:11:00three hours.
00:11:01Who is she?
00:11:03Who is Veronica Green?
00:11:06I do know.
00:11:08She's glamorous.
00:11:10She's sexy.
00:11:11She's gorgeous.
00:11:12And she's coming to a screen near you.
00:11:16I don't know.
00:11:19I don't know.
00:11:19I don't know.
00:11:19Oh, my God.
00:11:22Hi, Haley Damon.
00:11:23Oh, my God.
00:11:24I know who you are.
00:11:26I know pretty much all the girls here.
00:11:28They don't know me, though.
00:11:30Oh, my God.
00:11:31I'm such a fan.
00:11:32I love you.
00:11:33Oh, Jess.
00:11:33She's a fan of me, but she's nice.
00:11:36Shame it ain't reciprocated.
00:11:37Never heard of you, babes.
00:11:39What did you do, Veronica?
00:11:41I did musical theatre.
00:11:42Yeah.
00:11:43But drag is my passion, you know?
00:11:45Like everybody.
00:11:47Yeah.
00:11:47Oh, it's not mine.
00:11:48I'm here by accident.
00:12:00Rude.
00:12:03I'm Estelia Mandela, and I am rude.
00:12:05I am rowdy.
00:12:06And I'm disrespectful.
00:12:08But you know what?
00:12:09I'm here for it.
00:12:11There's no denying who that is, is there?
00:12:13Everyone seems to know me.
00:12:15They're all gagged.
00:12:16I can hear it.
00:12:17I can feel it.
00:12:18You can feel the energy.
00:12:19Sir.
00:12:19Pure style.
00:12:25How are you?
00:12:26I'm good.
00:12:27How are you, love?
00:12:27Ladies, I'm going to tell you a secret.
00:12:30Astina, she is one fierce performer.
00:12:33Everyone looks incredible.
00:12:34What do you do as your act?
00:12:36So I'm a dancing queen.
00:12:38I spin around.
00:12:38I create big MTV-style performances.
00:12:41And she learns them.
00:12:42She learns them.
00:12:42Read the CV.
00:12:43It is all there for you.
00:12:44I can sing.
00:12:45I can act.
00:12:46I can do comedy.
00:12:47I can host.
00:12:48I can choreograph.
00:12:49I can do a lot of things.
00:12:51And people find that intimidating.
00:12:53Which is not my fault.
00:12:54I've got to ask.
00:12:56Go on.
00:12:56Is there going to be some competition between all these dancing queens?
00:13:01There's a lot of people that claim to be a dancing queen.
00:13:04They only have, like, an arsenal of, I want to say, two free moves.
00:13:09Where my arsenal is, um, infinitor.
00:13:13Basically, I'm the infinity gauntlet of dancing.
00:13:15I will say that good luck in the lipstick against me.
00:13:18I'm not going to lie.
00:13:24Okay.
00:13:25Click, click, bitch.
00:13:26There really is no place like home.
00:13:29Okay.
00:13:30Oh, no!
00:13:31She killed Toto!
00:13:33I'm Uhura.
00:13:35I'm a northern queen of the fashion scene living in London.
00:13:38She's not in Kansas anymore.
00:13:40My boy name is George, which in Spanish translates as Jorge.
00:13:44Okay.
00:13:44So, Uhura.
00:13:46Oh!
00:13:46No!
00:13:48Yay!
00:13:50Oh, shit, the dog!
00:13:54I'm scared of her.
00:13:55I've heard some tales.
00:13:57I've never met Uhura, but I've heard a lot about her.
00:14:01My mum always taught me if you haven't got anything nice to say.
00:14:06In reality, everyone thinks I'm a bit of a Veruca soul.
00:14:08But I'm actually a bit of a Willy Wonka.
00:14:11I just want to give you an opportunity for a golden ticket with me!
00:14:15I am a fashion designer.
00:14:16Oh!
00:14:17She's worn my shirt.
00:14:19Many people are worn my shirt, but I thought, you know what?
00:14:20I want to start dressing myself, because these girls don't wear it right.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:26There's some real competition in the room.
00:14:29So, is that all of us?
00:14:30Did they save the best for last?
00:14:32You wish.
00:14:33Girls, you know what this means?
00:14:35We're the queens of season two!
00:14:40Woo!
00:14:41Woo!
00:14:42Woo!
00:14:42Woo!
00:14:45It's our first brew mail.

00:14:53Hello!
00:14:55Can you Adam and Eve it?

00:23:14Laurence Cheney
00:23:19Laurence Cheney
00:23:20I know the girls are jealous of how beautiful I look
00:23:25Because none of them could do it
00:23:28Look that bad in a winning picture
00:23:31Now Squirrel Friends
00:23:32Now Squirrel Friends
00:23:33We walk on the high heels of those who death drop before us
00:23:372020 marked the 50th anniversary of the Gay Liberation Front in the UK
00:23:46So for this week's maxi challenge
00:23:48You need to serve a look that pays tribute to your favorite British gay icon
00:23:56Someone from the UK who has inspired you
00:23:59Be they queer or an ally
00:24:01Living or resting in perfection
00:24:06Racers
00:24:07Start your engines
00:24:09And may the best drag queen
00:24:11Wait a minute
00:24:18I mean
00:24:22You think I came all this way for fangas and that
00:24:26You need to serve a second look
00:24:30A look that shows me why you are the queen of your hometown
00:24:35Yes
00:24:37Racers
00:24:37Start your engines
00:24:39And may the best drag queen win
00:24:51It is absolute pandemonium
00:24:56People are trying to find a workspace
00:24:58And I want a good workspace
00:24:59I'll trample a bitch
00:25:00What's left?
00:25:02I don't know where everyone's gone
00:25:07This feels better
00:25:11I'm excited to see everyone getting out of drag
00:25:13They all look quite different
00:25:17Ginny looks the same
00:25:18But everyone else looks quite different
00:25:21We're all undressing
00:25:22And I'm like okay
00:25:24This is the real shit
00:25:25This is what you all look like
00:25:27Not one of them is cute
00:25:28You're completely different
00:25:29You're very different
00:25:30You're going from like Kylie Minogue to Jason Donovan
00:25:33Thanks
00:25:34How dare you
00:25:37My god love
00:25:38But everyone is amazing
00:25:39Thank you
00:25:40You are so crafty
00:25:42One of the reasons I wanted to do this
00:25:44Was to push me out of my comfort zone
00:25:45Yeah I can see
00:25:46Before I even started drag
00:25:47I was paying for those tickets to see Jo's shows
00:25:50This is so surreal
00:25:51That I'm actually in the same room
00:25:52In the same competition
00:25:54When season one came out
00:25:55I just suddenly went
00:25:57Okay
00:25:57Time to step it up
00:25:58Yep gotta step it up
00:25:59You know when I was 20
00:26:00I was doing my shows and things
00:26:02Probably just being a boozy old cow
00:26:04To be honest with you
00:26:05I don't think I would have had the focus
00:26:07To be on RuPaul's Drag Race
00:26:09I think I needed some time to calm down
00:26:11The stakes are higher
00:26:20Oh sorry
00:26:21Wrong door
00:26:24How come you haven't taken your makeup off yet girl?
00:26:26I don't know
00:26:27I mean I suppose it's a confidence thing
00:26:29Of course like
00:26:30When we're all in drag
00:26:31We feel like untouchable
00:26:33And I still want to feel untouchable
00:26:37You know
00:26:38I feel so vulnerable when I'm out of drag
00:26:41I suppose
00:26:46It just changes so much
00:26:48This is kind of like a barrier
00:26:51Whenever I've been made fun of out of drag
00:26:53I suppose it's always been mean spirited
00:26:55You know you're a weirdo
00:26:57It's a bit difficult to take sometimes
00:27:01There is kind of a part of me
00:27:03That's still that kind of bullied school child
00:27:05If that makes sense
00:27:06The thing is though
00:27:07That part of you that can take it
00:27:09When you're in drag
00:27:09That's still you even when you take the makeup off
00:27:12Yeah
00:27:13I can be as outrageous as I want
00:27:15There are no limitations for me in drag
00:27:18It's just a shame that doesn't translate over
00:27:20Into out of drag as well
00:27:34It's elimination day
00:27:35Two looks
00:27:36Roo's asking for two looks
00:27:38She's pushing us now isn't she
00:27:39Let's do this
00:27:40Oh this is going to be good
00:27:48Let's do this
00:27:48So today we're walking the runway
00:27:51With UK gay icon
00:27:52And queen of your hometown
00:27:53I am so excited
00:27:54So you're doing Naomi Campbell
00:27:56Yeah
00:27:56You know
00:27:57Miss Thing
00:27:58Tice is doing Naomi as well
00:28:06Tice
00:28:06Who are you doing for
00:28:09Icon
00:28:09Miss Nene
00:28:11I am too
00:28:16Who else would you have thought to do
00:28:17I can think
00:28:18Well here's the thing
00:28:18I really struggled
00:28:20Someone who's a person of colour
00:28:23And an actual gay icon
00:28:24It was a really hard struggle
00:28:26Growing up there was no one
00:28:27That I could look up to
00:28:28That was black
00:28:29That was a gay icon
00:28:31In the UK
00:28:32For me
00:28:32But did you think of anyone else
00:28:34Who were your backup off?
00:28:35I had two options
00:28:36But they were both white
00:28:37Both mine were white
00:28:38I think it does make a lot of sense
00:28:39That me and Astina
00:28:40Did end up doing the same
00:28:41Because there is that person
00:28:42Like there isn't
00:28:43There isn't really one
00:28:44There's just not enough representation really
00:28:46Is there for like the POCs
00:28:47Like our black culture
00:28:47Like being gay as well
00:28:49Like there is none of that really
00:28:50I still don't think there's enough POC representation
00:28:53But it's growing
00:28:54It's getting better
00:28:55You know what that means though
00:28:57You've got to do it
00:28:58Exactly
00:28:59Well baby
00:28:59Baby
00:29:00Baby
00:29:02This is our time
00:29:02This is our time to pave way for
00:29:04You know the young kids
00:29:05For the rest of the next generation
00:29:06It would mean the world to me
00:29:08If I could just inspire some peeps across the way
00:29:10I'm so down
00:29:12That would make my day
00:29:12Make my life
00:29:18I can't believe that at the end of tonight
00:29:21Somebody's going home
00:29:22Someone's going home today
00:29:23Dump girl
00:29:24Who you just suspect
00:29:25Might be going first
00:29:28I'm worried about Astina
00:29:30You think
00:29:30She is so behind
00:29:32Like she's really
00:29:34Like Hannah Kane
00:29:34Is she?
00:29:36But I also think that
00:29:39Tia
00:29:41I just don't see it
00:29:45I'm going to be the nice person
00:29:46And say it's too close to call
00:29:49And I'm going to be the one to say
00:29:51I was open
00:29:52Yeah
00:29:53Like my legs
00:29:59Welcome to the main stage of RuPaul's Drag Race UK
00:30:02The UK has taken her into their arms

00:30:09I think you mean between their legs
00:30:12And national treasure and gay icon
00:30:15Graham Norton
00:30:17Graham, how does it feel
00:30:18Being referred to as a gay icon?
00:30:20I don't like it, Ru

00:32:18Tia Coffey as Alan Turing
00:32:20Oh, broke those codes
00:32:24Alan Turing is a trailblazing icon
00:32:27He was imprisoned for being gay
00:32:29Despite the fact that he helped code-breaking against the Nazis
00:32:33Basically won off the war
00:32:34That's bloody iconic
00:32:36Ooh, this code is cracking
00:32:38The fabric is a rainbow binary code
00:32:41That translates to the word love

00:33:04And she's still here today

00:33:08She's tortured
00:33:10She has supported gay people
00:33:12Even through the AIDS crisis
00:33:13Or through the 80s
00:33:14Or through the 90s
00:33:15I feel like she deserves to be celebrated

00:33:38Bowler?
00:33:38I don't even know her
00:33:41If Dame Diana saw me in this outfit
00:33:43She'd be thinking
00:33:44God, why is that fat man stretching out my cat too?
00:33:47Avenger?
00:33:48I don't even know her
00:33:50Up next, Cherry Valentine
00:33:53As Freddie Mercury
00:33:54Another one vacuums up the dust
00:33:57I'm serving Freddie Mercury
00:33:59In all brick-free glory
00:34:02I brought my rhinestone hoover
00:34:03Because these flaws are filthy
00:34:05Killer queen
00:34:07Freddie Mercury in drag
00:34:09With the moustache
00:34:10It's all the genders mixed up into one
00:34:12And I'm living for every inch of it
00:34:14Yes, queen
00:34:17Veronica Green
00:34:18Is boy George
00:34:20The baby boy
00:34:21Yes
00:34:22Seeing that Karma Chameleon video
00:34:24With a boy wearing makeup
00:34:26Blew my mind
00:34:27That is what an icon makes
00:34:29Do you really want to hurt me?
00:34:32Actually, yes
00:34:35I got my oversized Boy George shoes
00:34:37Which were actually owned by Boy George
00:34:40I got my hands on them somehow
00:34:41And they don't fit me
00:34:45Up next, a horror
00:34:47As Vivian Westwood
00:34:48The eyes have it
00:34:50I'm trying to give you Vivian Punk attitude
00:34:52But I'm also trying to not slip on this skirt
00:34:55Because this shit is long
00:34:57She is really tartening it up
00:35:00I'm doing Vivian Westwood
00:35:02Because she says
00:35:02Fuck gender
00:35:03And that is exactly how I want to be
00:35:05Vivian West wouldn't
00:35:06No
00:35:09Up next
00:35:10Sister Sister
00:35:11As Dusty Springfield
00:35:13I think she's more like
00:35:14Busty Springfield
00:35:17I'm walking this runway
00:35:18And I am Dusty Springfield
00:35:20And I just don't know
00:35:22What to do with myself
00:35:23Or the daughter
00:35:24Of a preacher man
00:35:25She'd wear no less than
00:35:27Three wigs on her head
00:35:28At all time
00:35:28She was constantly covered in bling
00:35:30She's just the gayest thing
00:35:32You've ever seen
00:35:33Beehive
00:35:35Alright, up next
00:35:36Ellie Diamond as Lily Savage
00:35:39Season 2
00:35:40Lily Savage, you're all ready
00:35:41They said it would never happen
00:35:43I'm a tall blonde bombshell
00:35:45With a dark root
00:35:46I'm strutting this runway
00:35:47And I'm living for it
00:35:49Lily Savage to me
00:35:51Is the queer icon of her time
00:35:53My mum used to talk about Lily Savage a lot
00:35:55So as much as I'm representing Lily Savage
00:35:57I'm also doing it for my mum
00:35:58That hair has bounce
00:35:59Woo
00:36:01Up next
00:36:02It's taste

00:36:11She inspires me every day
00:36:12My hair is swishing left to right
00:36:14I'm chucking it all around the place
00:36:16I'm just living my truth
00:36:18This is my hair
00:36:19I don't wear wigs
00:36:21Naomi Campbell is
00:36:23The 90 supermodel
00:36:24You can't touch me
00:36:26You can't play with me
00:36:27You can't do anything to me
00:36:29Ugh

00:36:52It's camp
00:36:52And it's a pleasure palace
00:36:53And I've been called a pleasure palace
00:36:55For two of my time
00:36:57You know
00:36:57With the pavilion around my head
00:36:59All I may be missing
00:37:00Is a couple of seagull

00:37:20Just got my £2.50
00:37:21Hot wings and chips
00:37:22She has never eaten that
00:37:25I'm taking inspiration
00:37:26From the girls I grew up with
00:37:28Dead loud
00:37:28Speak on the speakerphone
00:37:30On the back of the bus
00:37:30Really rude

00:37:44I am paying tribute
00:37:47To the very first drag king of all
00:37:49Vesta Chile
00:37:50Born in Worcester
00:37:51But with a little dash
00:37:52Of Worcestershire sauce

00:37:57Oh and I'm feeling very saucy
00:38:00According to all saucers
00:38:02The street's the place to go
00:38:10The queen of Nottingham
00:38:11Hear coffee
00:38:12The question remains
00:38:14I've chosen this as my hometown
00:38:16Because it's where I really
00:38:17Found myself
00:38:18Had a camp all time
00:38:19Did I finish my degree?
00:38:20Not so much
00:38:21But it was philosophy
00:38:22That's basically just thinking
00:38:23I can do that
00:38:23Don't worry about it
00:38:24It's Maid Marian
00:38:25Hiding her friar chuck
00:38:29I am serving you
00:38:30Robin Hood realness
00:38:31And do you know what else?

00:39:01And a tuck all the way up
00:39:03To high heaven
00:39:03That ball's offside
00:39:07The queen of Glasgow
00:39:08Laurence Cheney
00:39:11Glasgow
00:39:12How are you saying it?
00:39:13Glasgow
00:39:13Glasgow
00:39:15I am serving you
00:39:16One of Glasgow's
00:39:17Most famous designers
00:39:19Charles Rennie McIntosh
00:39:21Is known for his
00:39:22Stained glass work
00:39:23And I've translated it
00:39:24Onto this fitted latex
00:39:26Gown
00:39:26Give us a Glasgow kiss
00:39:30Glasgow's not just famous
00:39:31For not flushing the toilet
00:39:33After we've had a shit
00:39:34We're also famous
00:39:35For turning conceptual
00:39:37Artistic looks
00:39:38She was a stained glass
00:39:40Weedian
00:39:43The queen of Darlington
00:39:44Cherry Valentine
00:39:47Someone's looking ashy
00:39:49I'm walking down the runway
00:39:50And I'm feeling the
00:39:51Steampunk Victorian fantasy
00:39:52And I'm representing the town of Darlington right now
00:39:55That is a smoky eye
00:39:56Yes it is
00:39:57One of the main places in Darlington
00:39:59Is the town clock
00:40:00So I'm rocking out with my clock out
00:40:02Oh she's such a clock tease
00:40:06The queen of Lancashire
00:40:07Veronica Green
00:40:08Wow that's the biggest hoop I've ever seen
00:40:10Is it though?
00:40:11Well
00:40:13I'm walking down the runway
00:40:15In my lovely upside down
00:40:17Lancashire rose dress
00:40:18My roots are in the north
00:40:20But now I've gone south
00:40:21You would have to be told
00:40:23That that was the concept
00:40:24To get it
00:40:26Roses are red
00:40:27Michelle is a whore
00:40:28Yes
00:40:29I've heard that one
00:40:32The queen of Nottinghamshire
00:40:34A whore-er
00:40:36Nearly took my eye out
00:40:38I am giving you Robin Hood
00:40:39Because I'm from a small town
00:40:40Called Workstop
00:40:41Which is right by Sherwood Forest
00:40:43And I used to want my dog there
00:40:44All the time
00:40:45Let's get this clear
00:40:46What's so special about my hometown?
00:40:48Me
00:40:49It bred this talent
00:40:51Is she fryer-tucked?
00:40:52I thought I could see her
00:40:53Little John
00:40:57The queen of Liverpool
00:40:58Sister, sister
00:40:59Nah just roll with it
00:41:01It's a commonly accepted fact
00:41:03That scouse women
00:41:04Leave the house
00:41:05To run errands
00:41:06In pyjamas
00:41:06With their rollers in

00:41:19She woke up like this
00:41:21She did
00:41:21And went to bed like this
00:41:23And then woke up again like this
00:41:25The queen of Dundee
00:41:27Ellie Diamond
00:41:28Take that Beano
00:41:29I chose Dennis the Menace
00:41:31For my hometown look
00:41:31Because he was originally created
00:41:33In Dundee in 1951
00:41:35By the Beano comic strip
00:41:37Oh
00:41:38She Dundee it again
00:41:40My hair is snatched
00:41:42For the gods
00:41:42I've got my little trinkets
00:41:43And all that
00:41:45Can anyone smell burning rubber?
00:41:49The queen of Newport
00:41:51Taste
00:41:52We've awakened the dragon
00:41:54I'm doing it for the Welshies baby

00:41:58I am the Welsh dragon
00:41:59And I'm here to make it clear
00:42:00It's Gavin and Tasty
00:42:04There is a lot of ostrich going on here ladies and gentlemen
00:42:07I feel like the funkiest chicken you've ever did see
00:42:09Wait an ostrich
00:42:11Both
00:42:11Do I make you horny baby?
00:42:20Welcome ladies
00:42:21Now when I call your name
00:42:23Please step forward
00:42:27Ginny Lemon
00:42:31Tia Coffee
00:42:33Cherry Valentine
00:42:38Veronica Green
00:42:43Ahora
00:42:47Taste
00:42:53Ladies
00:42:54You are all safe
00:43:01As we say in jolly old America
00:43:04Y'all better step your pussies up
00:43:07You may leave the stage
00:43:15Ladies
00:43:16You represent the tops
00:43:17And the bottoms
00:43:18Of the week
00:43:20Now it's time for the judges' critiques
00:43:22First up
00:43:23Joe Black
00:43:25Hi Joe Black
00:43:26Hi
00:43:27So let's go to your gay icon look first
00:43:29It wasn't screaming Bowie to me
00:43:31I'm going to be completely honest
00:43:32I almost wish it was something
00:43:33Way more commercial Bowie
00:43:35So we all got it
00:43:36Tell us about your hometown look
00:43:37So I've come as Brighton Pavilion
00:43:39It's a lovely palace in the center of the city
00:43:41And I've got it on my head
00:43:42I know the pavilion
00:43:43But I don't know it enough to go
00:43:44Oh
00:43:45That's the pavilion
00:43:46So sometimes
00:43:47Don't overthink it
00:43:49Yeah
00:43:49Brighton Pavilion
00:43:50I suppose in my head
00:43:51It's just
00:43:52It's a beautiful building
00:43:53But it's white
00:43:54So the gold to me
00:43:55Was confusing
00:43:56And I guess I thought
00:43:57To embody Brighton
00:43:58It would be something more fun
00:44:00You know what
00:44:00I love this costume
00:44:01I love your Elizabethan ruff
00:44:02But I always thought
00:44:04That the pavilion
00:44:05Was more of a Regency period
00:44:06Which you know
00:44:07Was sort of
00:44:08More heaving bosoms
00:44:09And muslin dresses
00:44:10But I thought you were great
00:44:12All right
00:44:13Up next
00:44:13Astina Mandela
00:44:15Hiya
00:44:15Your name is Astina
00:44:16But you know
00:44:16Americans
00:44:17We want to call her Astina
00:44:18Don't we
00:44:18We certainly do
00:44:20Astina
00:44:22Your gay icon look
00:44:24Of course
00:44:25Was Naomi Campbell
00:44:26Yep
00:44:26You basically were just
00:44:27Giving us face in that
00:44:28I was just gobsmacked
00:44:30When you walked out
00:44:31I thought you looked
00:44:31Absolutely gorgeous
00:44:32And I thought you held
00:44:34Naomi's personality
00:44:35For the entire walk
00:44:36I thought what you did tonight
00:44:37Was so smart
00:44:38Because you kind of thought
00:44:39Right this is
00:44:39Show one
00:44:40Of a new season
00:44:41We now kind of go
00:44:42Oh interesting
00:44:44She does different things
00:44:44I can't wait to see
00:44:45What you do next
00:44:46Thank you so much
00:44:47Up next
00:44:48Dimini Bamboulash
00:44:49Hi babe
00:44:50Tell us about
00:44:50Your hometown look
00:44:51So this is
00:44:53Representing Norwich City
00:44:54And when I was growing up
00:44:55I used to go to
00:44:56All of these matches
00:44:57And this is how
00:44:58I really wanted to dress
00:44:59When I was watching it
00:45:02So let's talk a minute
00:45:03About your
00:45:05Princess Julia look
00:45:06I felt like you
00:45:07Undersold her
00:45:08A little bit
00:45:09Okay
00:45:09Get into these characters
00:45:11Like you did
00:45:12With your hometown
00:45:12But what it is
00:45:14Is when you turn around
00:45:14We see all your tape exposed
00:45:16So kids
00:45:17You have to be on top
00:45:18Of every single
00:45:19Little detail
00:45:19Now we're talking to you
00:45:21Loads of personality
00:45:22But in neither look
00:45:24Did that come across
00:45:27Unbelievable body
00:45:28Thank you
00:45:28A great bum
00:45:29I said to Ruth
00:45:31I find her quite sexy
00:45:32This is actually
00:45:33Probably my most
00:45:34Revealing outfit
00:45:34Oh no
00:45:35Don't say that
00:45:37It's not my most
00:45:39Revealing outfit
00:45:39Yay
00:45:41Up next
00:45:42We've got
00:45:43Lawrence Chaney
00:45:44Hello Lawrence Chaney
00:45:46Alright RuPaul
00:45:47How's it hanging
00:45:50I'm glad you did
00:45:51Something else
00:45:52Apart from tartan
00:45:53You came out here
00:45:54And didn't put on a kilt
00:45:56Which is fabulous
00:45:57But you know
00:45:58Expected
00:45:58But I want to go back
00:45:59To your gay icon
00:46:00Which was the amazing
00:46:01Diana Rigg
00:46:01I thought it was fun
00:46:02I thought it was exciting
00:46:03I thought it was different
00:46:04But also
00:46:04Let me just say
00:46:06It was polished
00:46:07Thank you
00:46:11The fact that you gave us
00:46:13Two completely contrasting looks
00:46:15And it makes
00:46:21It's true
00:46:22Diana Rigg
00:46:23You performed it
00:46:24And sold it
00:46:25And it was really
00:46:26Good fun
00:46:27So you know Diana Rigg
00:46:30From The Avengers
00:46:31Have you
00:46:31I'm 90 years old
00:46:32Of course I know Diana Rigg
00:46:33From The Avengers
00:46:34I don't want to say it
00:46:35But
00:46:39Thank you so much
00:46:45Dusty's a tough one
00:46:46Because Dusty's kind of
00:46:47Conservative
00:46:48But if you're going to do it
00:46:49Like
00:46:49You know how
00:46:50You know who Lady Bunny is
00:46:52Yes
00:46:52That's kind of based off
00:46:53Dusty Springfield
00:46:54So go big or go home
00:46:57I thought
00:46:58This part of the challenge
00:46:59The hometown bit
00:47:00You seemed much happier in
00:47:02You seemed like
00:47:02You were having a good time
00:47:07This drag race
00:47:08So even though you spangled
00:47:09Your pajamas
00:47:10You could have gone
00:47:11Even further
00:47:12Buy
00:47:12Big furry house slippers
00:47:14You know that
00:47:14You know what I'm talking about
00:47:16I know them
00:47:16I just love
00:47:22I like those shoes
00:47:23I love the satin
00:47:25I love your makeup
00:47:26I love everything about this
00:47:27I think it's adorable
00:47:28Thank you
00:47:29Up next
00:47:30Ellie
00:47:35Are painted down
00:47:37You know always
00:47:38Always and forever
00:47:39So this is PVC correct
00:47:41It's a cheap plastic
00:47:43From the fabric store
00:47:43I can't afford
00:47:44The good stuff like
00:47:45Lawrence
00:47:45I'm sorry
00:47:47Did you make it?
00:47:48Yeah
00:47:48I make everything
00:47:49I do my hair
00:47:49And all my costumes
00:47:50Well that's unbelievable
00:47:51And you get credit for that
00:47:52Thank you
00:47:53Lily Savage
00:47:54It was how Lily wishes
00:47:55She would have looked
00:47:57Your hair and makeup tonight
00:47:58Both of them were really
00:48:00Really good
00:48:01Thank you
00:48:02You have done Dundee proud
00:48:04This is such a clever
00:48:06Clever outfit
00:48:08Thanks
00:48:12Up is genius
00:48:14I used to love Dennis the Menace
00:48:15Growing up
00:48:16So that was inspired
00:48:17To come up with that
00:48:20Thank you ladies
00:48:27Deliberate
00:48:27You may leave the stage
00:48:30Can you believe that?
00:48:33I'm absolutely tamping
00:48:34I'm fuming
00:48:34I thought I had it
00:48:35This is ridiculous
00:48:37Really?
00:48:37Safe
00:48:38Just safe
00:48:39Well at least I'm not in the bottom
00:48:40When they read out that list
00:48:41I thought this was
00:48:43Potentially top three
00:48:44Bottom three
00:48:46Nobody wants to be safe
00:48:47In the real world
00:48:48I'm not a safe player
00:48:50Who did you think were the tops
00:48:51And who did you think were the bottoms
00:48:52Then?
00:48:53You're throwing that out there
00:48:56I said to everyone
00:48:57I said I thought Estina and you
00:48:59Was in the bottom
00:49:01Good to know
00:49:02Really?
00:49:04The only thing I'm basing it on
00:49:05Was entrances
00:49:08Really?
00:49:09Are you having a laugh?
00:49:11And I know the challenge was the runway
00:49:13But that's all I could
00:49:13Wait wait wait
00:49:14What are you
00:49:14So you're saying that
00:49:15My entrance look was rough
00:49:17Girl we all said your hair was thirsty
00:49:20Did you?
00:49:20You didn't all say it to my face
00:49:22Kirstie!
00:49:22We all have a conversation
00:49:24Kirstie!
00:49:24Kirstie!
00:49:25Kirstie!
00:49:25Kirstie!
00:49:26Crunchy munchy thirsty Kirstie
00:49:27No!
00:49:28She wasn't thirsty
00:49:29She was a cultural frizzy moment
00:49:32And I stand by her
00:49:34Out of the other girls though
00:49:35Who would you reckon are the tops
00:49:36And the bottoms out there then?
00:49:37Estina went out in an ASOS jacket
00:49:40I've literally got that in my room
00:49:42And I just can't forgive that
00:49:43Is it East London she was doing?
00:49:45Yeah
00:49:45I think she looked good
00:49:46I just think you're all a bit scared of her to be honest
00:49:48Because she's pure talent
00:49:52Come on
00:49:52Yeah yeah
00:49:53Oh my god
00:49:57My feet are on fire
00:50:00I can imagine
00:50:01You've been out there for so long
00:50:02That was a lot
00:50:04That was intense
00:50:05What the hell has been going on
00:50:06You've been here worried sick
00:50:08They ripped me to shreds
00:50:09Stop!
00:50:10Really?
00:50:11And said that I was trying to be too clever
00:50:14Too clever?
00:50:16Bit shocked
00:50:16Fuck
00:50:17I thought I would
00:50:18How do you feel about the critiques then?
00:50:20I'm quite upset
00:50:20Looking at my fellow bottoms
00:50:23I don't feel like I deserve to be there
00:50:26And fingers crushed
00:50:28I don't have to lip sync
00:50:29Because this dress is not an easy one to move in
00:50:32They loved her
00:50:33No they
00:50:34Yeah they really loved it
00:50:35They loved the East London
00:50:36They completely got it straight away
00:50:37They loved the fact that I gave them
00:50:39Completely different to Naomi
00:50:41She's wearing a jacket off the internet
00:50:43While eating fried chicken
00:50:44So that bitch must have a runway walk to die for
00:50:47So sister what did they say to you then?
00:50:50I'm just feeling so on so many levels
00:50:52Right
00:50:52Just a big load of shite
00:50:54This is a really really crap feeling
00:50:55I can visualise me having to lip sync this early on
00:50:59And it's crap
00:51:00It's crap
00:51:02Bimini doesn't look happy at all
00:51:03You don't look very happy
00:51:04Like for this look
00:51:05Like I mean I knew it
00:51:07I didn't feel comfortable
00:51:07Because I could see the tape
00:51:09At the back
00:51:09So Michelle read me for that
00:51:10I am fully tucked
00:51:13And I've got to maybe lip sync in tenon shoes
00:51:16With no underwear on
00:51:19On the BBC
00:51:23I'm just going to give it a bloody go
00:51:24Like I've worked my ass to fucking get here
00:51:27I'm just going to give it a bloody go
00:51:28I'm just going to give it a bloody go
00:51:30Alright now just between us squirrel friends
00:51:32What do you think?
00:51:33This is a good group of queens
00:51:35Yes
00:51:36Alright first up Joe Black
00:51:37The Brighton reference
00:51:39It just didn't say Brighton to me
00:51:41And that was the challenge
00:51:42Sometimes your first idea
00:51:44Is maybe the best idea
00:51:46And I felt like
00:51:47What he showed us
00:51:48Was his 15th idea
00:51:50That was more Hampton Court
00:51:52Than Brighton Pavilion
00:51:53I don't think it matters
00:51:54But if we were looking for accuracy
00:51:56You know it wasn't
00:51:57It's the BBC
00:51:57It matters
00:51:58It matters
00:52:00Astina Mandela
00:52:01Yeah Astina had a great night tonight
00:52:03When she was representing East London
00:52:05I knew that girl
00:52:07With the hair and the pom-pom shorts
00:52:08She had everything going
00:52:10To choose that really pared down
00:52:12Really classy look to start
00:52:14Was pretty brave
00:52:15In fact when she turned that corner
00:52:17She was stunning
00:52:18The face
00:52:19Even with the pared down makeup
00:52:21You know it's just hard to do
00:52:22When you are a man
00:52:23You know
00:52:25Bimini Bonboulash
00:52:26So when she came out
00:52:28As Princess Julia
00:52:29Who I am not
00:52:30Thoroughly familiar with
00:52:31So it was up to her
00:52:33To kind of really sell it
00:52:34That second look
00:52:36Delia Smith will not be
00:52:37That delighted
00:52:38That that was representing
00:52:39Norwich for Port Club
00:52:41I think you're very harsh
00:52:42I liked Bimini
00:52:43We could see
00:52:44There really is a lot of potential there
00:52:45There wasn't enough
00:52:46Of a narrative going on there
00:52:48For the Princess Julia
00:52:49But the second outfit
00:52:51It did tell a story
00:52:52Lots of stories
00:52:53Yeah
00:52:53Including what she ate last night
00:52:57Let's move on down to
00:52:59Lawrence Chaney
00:53:00Lawrence Chaney
00:53:02Speaking of narratives
00:53:04My goodness
00:53:04That is how you tell a story
00:53:06I was really impressed with that
00:53:08I thought a huge effort
00:53:09Had been made with the costumes
00:53:10And I loved it
00:53:12I got happy every time
00:53:13Lawrence Chaney
00:53:14Came out onto this runway
00:53:16That's a real gift
00:53:17I'm guessing she has more experience
00:53:18Than a lot of the other girls
00:53:20Maybe is a bit older
00:53:21You know she's a child
00:53:22I was going to say
00:53:23A bit older
00:53:23Oh she's 23
00:53:24Is she only 23?
00:53:25She's over the hill
00:53:2623
00:53:27Coming out here
00:53:28Making us look at her
00:53:30Up next we've got
00:53:31Sister Sister
00:53:32I like Sister Sister
00:53:33I feel there's a lot of talent there
00:53:35Sister Sister
00:53:36Didn't have a terrible night
00:53:38Just didn't have a great night
00:53:39Her hometown look of Liverpool
00:53:41Was really cute
00:53:42But I do think
00:53:44She could have gone
00:53:44Even further
00:53:45But you know
00:53:46With the Dusty Springfield
00:53:47You know
00:53:48She could have come out
00:53:49With a microphone
00:53:49She could have come out
00:53:50Really dusty
00:53:51You know
00:53:52I mean literally
00:53:53Hilarious
00:53:53Ellie Diamond
00:53:54I thought Dennis the Menace
00:53:56Was fantastically clever
00:53:58And that face
00:54:00Oh my god
00:54:00Gorgeous
00:54:01So beautiful
00:54:02I mean really stunning
00:54:03Her makeup and hair skills
00:54:04Are dynamic
00:54:05I can tell this already
00:54:06And she's 21 years old
00:54:07Well 21
00:54:08I've got colostomy bags
00:54:09Older than her
00:54:11I can smell it
00:54:14Silence
00:54:15I've made my decision
00:54:17Bring back my gills
00:54:20Welcome back ladies
00:54:22I've made some decisions

00:54:52And we ate it up
00:54:55Contraculations

00:54:57Of this week's challenge

00:55:47You're a good sport
00:55:48But this week
00:55:50You didn't score
00:55:52Sister, sister
00:55:54Your Dusty
00:55:55Was
00:55:56What's the word

00:56:23Joe Black
00:56:24Bimini
00:56:25I'm sorry my dears
00:56:27But you are up
00:56:28For elimination
00:56:30There's a fire lit
00:56:31Under my arse
00:56:32And I am not
00:56:32Going home
00:56:33Two queens
00:56:35Stand before me
00:56:39In a moment
00:56:40I'll ask one of you
00:56:41To shantay
00:56:43Which still means
00:56:45Stay
00:56:45And one of you
00:56:47To sashay away
00:56:51I've consulted with the judges
00:56:53But the final decision
00:56:54Is mine to make
00:56:57Ladies
00:56:58This is your last chance
00:57:00To impress me
00:57:01And save yourself
00:57:03From elimination
00:57:07The time has come
00:57:09For you to lip sync
00:57:11For your life
00:57:17Here we go
00:57:18Hambags at dawn
00:57:19Bimini
00:57:21Good luck
00:57:22And don't
00:57:24Fuck it up
00:57:44Relax

00:57:48Relax
00:57:49Talk to it
00:57:50When you wanna go
00:57:54I don't

00:57:56I don't
00:57:57I don't
00:57:58But shoot me
00:57:58In the right direction
00:58:00I don't
00:58:00Make me
00:58:01Make it
00:58:02You're in downtown
00:58:04I don't
00:58:06Run those dreams
00:58:07Steam those schemes
00:58:09Gotta hit me
00:58:10Hit me
00:58:11Hit me
00:58:11With those lasers
00:58:43Go!
00:59:25Ladies, that was highly entertaining.
00:59:29Now, I've made my decision.
00:59:37Bimini Bon Boulash.
00:59:40Shantae, you stay.
00:59:44Thank you so much.
00:59:46You may join the other girls.
00:59:49You won't regret it.
00:59:50Love you.
00:59:52You're amazing.
00:59:56Joe Black, keep painting with all the colors in the rainbow.
01:00:03Now, sashay away.
01:00:06Thank you so much.
01:00:08Woo!
01:00:10Well, I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. Charles.
01:00:13Yeah!
01:00:15Love you, Nana.
01:00:17I'm feeling very numb.
01:00:19This wasn't the outcome I expected.
01:00:21It is what it is, but, yeah, I'm proud that I got here.
01:00:24Very proud I got here.
01:00:27It's been a short blast, but a blast nonetheless.
