“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

U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, the Ranking Member of the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, issued sharp criticism of President Donald Trump’s Director of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk, and cautioned him against “trying to control the airspace.” The Washington Democrat said she would ask the U.S. Department of Transportation to prevent Musk from participating in efforts to reform the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), while also citing concerns over an alleged conflict of interest.

WATCH: There’s a thirsty third, baby drama & more in “unapologetically queer” comedy ‘Unconventional’
boom* there’s your happy ending.But, as we well know, when it comes to queer love stories, things are often anything but conventional.That’s certainly the case in the upcoming Revry original dramedy Unconventional, which follows a pair of thirty-something queer siblings who have each begun to settle into lives with their significant others, but are starting to realize they might want more than the traditional happy ending.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Created by and starring Kit Williamson, the series is described as a “spiritual successor” to his Emmy-nominated web series EastSiders, which premiered via Logo TV and later streamed via Netflix.Whereas that series explored modern life & love in the Silver Lake neighborhood of east Los Angeles, Unconventional goes even further east to the historic gay community of Palm Springs and the high desert of Joshua Tree.It’s there that we find millennial PhD student Noah Guillory (Williamson) living with his husband of 10 years, Dan (High Tide‘s James Bland). The two seem to have everything going for them—including an enviable desert home and a plan to adopt—but it’s clear that, after a decade of wedded bliss, both are questioning what they want out of their lives… especially after the experiment with opening things up to a third.Meanwhile, Noah is the sperm donor to his sister Margot’s (Nashville‘s Aubrey Shea) wife Eliza (Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Briana Venskus).
