Jonathan Ross to create UK version of Rupaul's Drag Race?

I stumbled upon this on Twitter today and thought it was exciting. What would you think of a British Drag Race?

Personally, I'm surprised there isn't an Australian Drag Race by now.

I've said it a million times - why isn't Lady Bunny the third main judge?

Cause Ru isn't going to have another fierce queen on her judging panel. It all has to be about Ru.

But LB has judged Drag U multiple times. (And IMO her talents are wasted as such.) There's no reason the show can't still be all about Ru (because it's going to be) and also have a competent judging panel.

Right, but Drag U was like the ugly red headed stepchild to Drag Race, so it wasn't like Bunny was stealing THAT much attention from Ru. (I agree, Bunny was wasted on DU.) And I totally agree, I am all for a competent judging panel, I just don't see Ru putting another Queen on the panel. Not full time, anyway. Personally, I think it would be fun to see some of the more popular past contestants pop up as guest judges occasionally.

I really wish that they'd replace Santino with Billy B.
