85 - Paige Three: Drag Race, Star Wars & Finding Your Voice
The year might be coming to an end, but we're not slowing down on The Final FronTia! You might recognise her from this years edition of RuPaul's Drag Race UK... Paige Three is on the show! As the drag daughter of Drag Race S15 winner Sasha Colby, Paige Three is technically the drag sister of Chappell Roan! Well, as she proved on Drag Race, this queen deserves to be moved from page three to front page news! On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Paige go from the heartfelt to the hilarious - from late-night gigs to navigating drag outside the reality TV pipeline, the importance of demonstrating queer joy as a form of resistance and the how to stay soft in an industry that doesn’t always make room for it. Paige also opens up about building a career on her own terms - sequins, vulnerability and all - and they play a Drag Race-themed quiz!

84 - Carrie Hope Fletcher & Joel Montague: Elf The Musical, Christmas Cheer & Parenthood
It's time for the Christmas Special of The Final FronTia and we are joined by a West End theatre power couple (and, for this season, they're also elves!)... Carrie Hope Fletcher and Joel Montague! Whilst originally gaining popularity on her YouTube channel, Carrie Hope Fletcher has a storied history in the West End. As a child, she made her West End debut as Young Éponine in Les Miserables, followed by roles in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins. As an adult, she has starred in the West End productions of Les Mis (Éponine and Thénardier), The Addams Family, Heathers: The Musical, Cinderella, Calamity Jane and she is currently starring as Jovie in Elf The Musical. Starring as Buddy The Elf in Elf The Musical is Joel Montague, who is perhaps best known as the West End's King George III in Hamilton. This Summer, he also starred in The Great Gatsby and, previously, he has been in the West End productions of Waitress, School of Rock, Funny Girl, Urinetown and Billy Elliot. On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia, Carrie and Joel talk about the magic of theatre during the holidays, juggling parenthood with showbiz and Carrie's experiences performing through pregnancy. They also dive into dream roles, creative chaos, and there's a hilarious musical-themed game that’ll test your knowledge of rhymes, flags, and everything in between! Merry Christmas and we'll see you next week for another fresh episode of The Final FronTia.

83 - Richie Anderson: Eurovision Lore, Pop Girls & Being Your True Self
We're serving a wonderfully chaotic episode of The Final FronTia filled with deep dives, Eurovision and the strange bubble of being famous for a week. Richie Anderson is on the show! Richie Anderson is a much-loved British TV and radio presenter - best known for his appearances on BBC Radio 2, The One Show and, of course, the BBC's coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest. Richie also competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, and is the new host of the iconic show Escape To The Country. On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Richie cover everything from Eurovision's turquoise carpets to pop girl politics. They fangirl over icons (everyone from Ariana Grande to Cheryl Baker), wonder why some songs feel like Christmas music when you hear them out of season and Richie gives a peek into life inside the Eurovision circus. Plus: an ill-fated TikTok livestream, a surprisingly emotional Gavin & Stacey–era Eurovision memory, and a countryside-themed game that proves Richie is still bad at quizzes.

82 - Marcus Collins: Standing Proud, Mrs Doubtfire & The X Factor
We have a delightfully camp - and unexpectedly profound - episode of The Final FronTia for you... singer, West End star and all-round ray of queer sunshine Marcus Collins is on the show! Marcus first broke through in the UK as a contestant on the eighth series of The X Factor where he became a runner-up in the finals, whilst little-known girl group Little Mix won! His cover of "Seven Nation Army" shot into the Top 10 UK Charts, as did his self-titled album. Since then, Marcus has taken the West End by storm - performing in Kinky Boots, Hairspray and, most recently, Mrs Doubtfire. On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Marcus cover everything from growing up mixed-race to toxic fandoms, Marcus' X Factor rollercoaster and Paddington Bear's uncanny blinking. Marcus shares stories from working in theatre for over 20 years and his favourite roles, including his revolutionary turn in Mrs Doubtfire. He also spills the tea on his next project... and Tia and Marcus play a truly deranged game of Snag, Marry, Kill which leaves nobody (human or fictional) untouched!

81 - Samira Mighty: Building Your Craft, Villa Life & Stage Ambitions
A Love Island legend, West End powerhouse, pop girly and a woman with more talents than should reasonably be allowed... Samira Mighty is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia! From ballet school prodigy to West End performer, reality-TV icon to fast-emerging recording artist, Samira has lived about six lives already... and she’s still only getting started. Her latest single "Cardio" is out now. On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Samira talk about unbelievable dance training, navigating the pressures of the performing arts world, dream musical theatre roles (including some very iconic castings they manifest right on the spot) and the realities of being a Black woman in industries that weren’t built with you in mind. They also get into reality TV chaos - from classic Love Island to the golden age of Made in Chelsea - plus TikTok virality and whether she could really still play a troubled teenager on Waterloo Road (answer: yes, obviously). And stay to the end for a game of Music or Musical where Samira proves she might secretly be the nation’s next Mastermind champion!

Ella's debut album "Feline" was released in 2014 and went into the Top 5 on the UK Album Charts. Her follow-up, "Everything, In Time" was released last week. On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Ella talk about the new album, the life-changing vocal surgery that forced Ella into a month of total silence and the importance of finding peace in the process.

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!
