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!

This week we're stepping through the wardrobe to the magical land of Narnia...twice! First up we're going all the way back to the 80s with the BBC's adaptation, starring a fabulous Kate Bush impersonator as the White Witch, and a chipmunk as Lucy. Learn about Kate's fear of wolves, and hear the word 'Glossop' said far too many times.

Wherever you find love, it feels like another Christmas episode of Queers Gone By! Today we're revisiting the festive classic, Michael Caine Gets Terrorised by Felt. With a banging soundtrack, stellar performances, and Miss Piggy in a mobcap, what's not to love?
Well, the fact that this isn't Muppets Wizard of Oz...

Would you look at that - it's our first film! This week we're looking back on that magical gal, Matilda, but mainly on her fabulous mum. And tbh Miss Trunchbull is amazing too.

We're finishing our trip to the Whoniverse with the show we definitely shouldn't have watched at the age of 10 but did anyway: it's Torchwood! This week, we meet a big bisexual cloud, lust after Captain Jack, and try and work out the administrative structure of this secret organisation. Also featuring an iconic nostalgic snack AND a merchandise surprise!

This week we're heading off in our TARDIS to the wonderful world of Doctor Who, where we play the Weakest Link, learn What Not To Wear, and try not to swear on Big Brother. Featuring in-depth analysis of the exact moment millions of eight-year-olds sat up from their sofas and whispered: "so that's what I am..."

This week on QGB, we're kicking off a little miniseries for your listening pleasure! We're dipping into the holy trinity of the Whoniverse (sorry, iPlayer's Class) for the next three weeks, and analysing how they made us queer. Spoiler alert: it's a lot. We begin with CBBC's The Sarah Jane Adventures, or: Travels with a Middle-Aged Lesbian.
With apologies to the estate of Elisabeth Sladen.

Happy Halloween! This week we're getting into the spooky spirit with the scariest thing of all: PLAGIARISM. Listen as Caitlin and Kate delve into the world of magical boarding schools, with broomsticks, toads, and kindly headteachers. Sound familiar? That's right, it's the Worst Witch!
Fuck you, JK Rowling.

This week we watch a slightly more modern show - and one that Kate has never seen! Ignoring the similarities between two losers putting random nonsense on the internet, Kate and Caitlin visit iCarly and her far better friend Sam, to learn about creating YouTube content when you have no charisma or talent. We also talk about Mr Moseby from Suite Life. A lot.
