“Give her a BAFTA!”: Drag Race fans react to Jinkx Monsoon’s Doctor Who debut

Jinkx Monsoon has finally made her Doctor Who debut, and fans are absolutely living for it. 

Back in April 2023, showrunner Russell T Davies announced that the Queen of All Queens would be joining the 14th season of the popular sci-fi series starring Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa.

“In a galaxy of comets and supernovas, here comes the biggest star of all,” showrunner Russell T Davies said. “Jinkx Monsoon is on a collision course with the TARDIS, and ‘Doctor Who’ will never be the same again.”

In an additional statement, Jinkx expressed her excitement for her villainous character, stating: “I’m honoured, thrilled, and utterly excited to join ‘Doctor Who!’ Russell T Davies is a visionary and a brilliant writer — I can’t wait to get into the weeds with him and the crew! I hope there’s room in the TARDIS for my luggage.”

Over the past year, fans of the Portland-based queen have been eager to find out more details about her role.

Fortunately, on 11 May, the wait finally came to an end during the second episode of Doctor Who season 14 double premiere. 

Titled “The Devil’s Chord,” the second episode follows the Doctor (Gatwa) and his companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), as they travel back to 1963 to watch the Beatles record their first song at EMI Recording Studios.

However, upon their arrival, they realise a sinister plot is at work when the legendary band members and the world showcase a lack of interest in music. 

After Ruby plays a song, the villainous Maestro (Jinkx) appears, revealing that they have consumed music from the world’s inhabitants and is a child of the Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris). 

Unsurprisingly, Jinkx’s performance as the terrifying music foe was absolutely incredible. 

From her sickening costumes and campy jokes to her terrifying monologues and superstar vocals, the beloved talent showcased her charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent from start to finish. 

Shortly after the episode aired, hordes of fans took to social media to praise the All Stars 7
