70 - Jenny Ryan: The Vixen LIVE from Edinburgh (TFF Live)
She’s a professional quizzer, a powerhouse singer and one of the fiercest brains on British TV – The Chase’s very own Vixen, Jenny Ryan, is our special guest at the first ever live recording of The Final FronTia!
Whether she’s slaying on the stage (The X Factor: Celebrity, The Weakest Link: Celebrity Drag Special) or taking down challengers in the quiz arena, Jenny is truly multi-talented.
Join us in Edinburgh for this special episode as Tia and Jenny talk about life behind the scenes of The Chase, the art of quizzing under pressure and her love of musical theatre.
They also dive into Doctor Who, swap stories about dream stage roles and reveal which songs they’d belt out if given the mic and zero warning.
Plus – find out what happens when Tia tries to quiz The Vixen herself...

69 - Kate Butch: She's Back, Back, Back Again!
She’s back, back, back again! The iconic Kate Butch makes her record-breaking third appearance on The Final FronTia and this time it no quiz (throwback to last week) - it's Tia and Kate one-on-one with all the chaos and comedy you'd expect.
Fresh off her solo tour (and heading to Soho Theatre with her show Wuthering Shites ), Kate joins Tia for an episode packed with laughs, deep dives and a whole lot of sci‑fi.
On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Kate imagine their dream roles on Doctor Who, thirst over mysterious villains and pitch spin‑offs that nobody asked for but everyone secretly wants.
They also go down the rabbit hole of Tracy Beaker recasted with Drag Queens, and they debate whether Mona the Vampire was a delusional icon.

68 - Kate Butch: The Final FronTia's Mastermind Special
She’s a Drag Race UK star, a comedy queen, a The Final FronTia alumni and apparently a certified Shrek scholar – Kate Butch is our guest (and quiz competitor) on this episode!
Joined by Producer Poppy, this week’s episode of The Final FronTia takes a detour from the usual chat show into a full-on trivia showdown: welcome to TiaMind, our fully qualified version of the iconic quiz show Mastermind.
Tia, Kate and Poppy battle it out over specialist subjects (including Doctor Who and Shrek), general knowledge, and pure nonsense. There are buzzer sounds, questionable facts, drag race tangents and even a surprise trophy with snakes for eyes.
Which queen will come out on top? Who gets their Doctor Who lore right? And how many hearts does an octopus have?

Pop star? TV star? Theatre star? Yep, our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia has done it all - and she's become an icon in the process.
You might recognise Anthony Lexa from her role as Abbi Montgomery on Sex Education, or from her pop music - for which she has been described by Wonderland magazine as a "sensational breakout star".
On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Anthony talk about navigating nerd culture, emotional connections in fiction and... Lord of the Rings!
They also talk about Anthony's experiences as a trans woman and the impact of community on self-discovery - as well as astrology, star signs and Anthony's new music.

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!
