Notorious comedy queers Caitlin Powell (flame-haired stand-up menace) and big idiot from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK Kate Butch are delving deep into their childhoods, reliving films, TV shows, and snacks, to see if there’s any way of pinpointing the things that made them the queer icons they are today. For a healthy serving of nostalgia through the gayest lens imaginable, tune in to Queers Gone By every Throwback Thursgay! From the CBBC classic Tracy Beaker to Disney Channel favourites like Hannah Montana, via niche Dutch cartoon Help! I’m A Fish, we’ve been taking a trip down memory lane every week to discover the things that made us queer, camp and generally iconic! Queers Gone By is your one stop shop for nostalgia and the unpacking of repressed childhood memories (but in a fun way)! Got an idea for something for us to review? Thinking ’these are things that made me queer’? Follow us at @queersgoneby and let us know!

Eat some bilberry jam and watch some polite mice in bonnets. This has been a PSA.

Get the limo out front with us as we discuss the queen of deception herself, HANNAH MONTANA! There are so many wigs, so many mid-noughties fashions, and so many songs that we had forgotten/no longer care about.

Imagine...imagine...imagine a children's show that isn't manic and irritating.
You can't.

What do you get if you multiply the worst one from MI High by three? Totally Spies! In this incompetent answer to Charlie's Angels, we discuss that German TikTok kid, Auntie Mabel, and Kate goes on about another cult 80s film.
We're not sure why either.

Hey now, hey now. This week, we're visiting uncoordinated icon Hilary Duff as she takes us across the globe to Italy in the seminal classic The Lizzie McGuire Movie. We've got everything: a fashion montage, an obnoxious chihuahua, lip-sync based gaslighting, and that's just the start!
This really is what dreams are made of.

It's everybody's favourite evil mice, doing some kind of plot with crabs and frogs! And Britney is also there, for some reason.
Honestly, recording this episode was a blur...
