The Final FronTia with Tia Kofi

She’s a fierce queen, a fabulous wig designer, and a full-blown Doctor Who superfan – the multitalented Zahirah joins us on this episode of The Final FronTia!

You might know her from Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, but get ready to discover her inner geek as she and Tia go deep (and we mean deep) into the Whoniverse.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Zahirah talk about the power of queer and Asian representation in Doctor Who, how iconic characters like Donna Noble and Martha Jones shaped their childhoods and - of course - The Sarah Jane Adventures!

Plus they talk wigs, regenerations and there's a dramatic re-enactment of an iconic scene between the Doctor and Donna – accents, ad-libs and all!
