I Like to Watch UK is back!
The second season of the British spin-off sees RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winners The Vivienne and Lawrence Chaney unite for the first time since the latter’s historic season two win earlier this year.
I Like to Watch focuses on the legendary entertainers as they watch and critique different Netflix titles.

The London North Eastern Railway has apologised to a non-binary passenger for a “ladies and gentlemen” train announcement.
On Tuesday (11 May) Laurence Coles, a train guard and LGBT+ rep for the RMT union, wrote on Twitter: “‘Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…’ So as a non-binary person this announcement doesn’t actually apply to me so I won’t listen.”
Coles’ friend Charlotte Monroe, who is a “lifelong railway employee” and creator of the Progress Train, the UK’s first-ever Pride train staffed by all-LGBT+ crew, said they were with them when the announcement was made.
Veronica went on to say that the officers who investigated the scene do believe it was a targeted attack and that it was pretty terrifying to have been worrying for hours about what was going on. She also slammed those who were involved for wasting police time and disrupting commuters. I can get very [Instagram] Story happy sometimes because you just forget and want to show people nice things you see, season one winner The Vivienne added. And all of a sudden it was running through my head that if someone really did want to hurt us – okay the bomb was a hoax, as we found out later on – but if that person had genuinely intended to hurt us, they could have watched us come out of Heaven and do anything to us. It s super, super scary.

Some would describe him as the queer community’s Jane McDonald. I would describe him as the queer community’s Bet Lynch. Dominic Evans, known under his pen name of DOM&INK (clever), is one of the LGBTQ+ community’s best known illustrators. From working on projects such as RuPaul’s Drag Race UK and Channel 4’s hit drama It’s A Sin, Dom brings to life LGBTQ+ experiences in an engaging, imaginative and unique style.
