The contestants were bawdy, slapdash, raucous and not as earnest or polished as the queens of the original American series. This week Zing’s heading to Birmingham - home town of Drag Race star, Sum Ting Wong. They discuss what makes British drag unique, compare stories of coming out to their Asian parents, and take a tour of Sum’s Brum.
