Did you know

• Unlike the American version, Drag Race UK gives out RuPeter badges to commemorate challenge wins. This is because Drag Race UK airs on the BBC, which has a strict rule in which the prize cannot be money, as the BBC is government owned.

• Where the USA version has "Untucked" usually as a separate companion series to each main episode, the UK version has a backstage untucked segment inserted after Rupaul sends them all off stage to untuck, which then cuts to the "Untucked" sequences, before then returning to the judges deliberations, as usual. With adverts this would return the show to a 90 minute running time on commercial networks, as the BBC edit of Rupaul's Drag Race UK, without commercial break buffers, recaps, etc comes in at a continuous 75 minutes, at least in the early episodes of each seasons, before most are eliminated.

• The second program of the fourth series was dedicated to series two contestant Cherry Valentine, who had passed away in the week preceding it aged 28.
