It\u2019s a Friday, the night is young, and BBC One is pulling together a spectrum of shows that are sure to keep even the most casual viewers glued. From the glitter\u2011filled runway of RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK<\/strong> to the heart\u2011pounding auction of The Travelling Auctioneers<\/strong> and the sizzling kitchen battles of Celebrity MasterChef<\/strong>, the schedule offers a blend of drama, humour and a dash of reality TV bravado.<\/p>\n

RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race UK \u2013 A Night of Glitter and Grit<\/h2>\n

Starting at 21:40, the show that has turned every episode into a runway spectacle returns. The format remains the same: queens battle for the crown while the audience watches fierce challenges and heartfelt moments. The presence of supermodels Erin O’Connor and Kristen McMenamy adds extra star power, and the judges \u2013 Mama Ru, Michelle Visage and Graham Norton \u2013 keep the heat on. While the show has been praised for its bold fashion, the reality of the competitive nature can sometimes feel relentless. Still, the creative spark and the community vibe make it one of the bigger draws this Friday.<\/p>\n

From 19:00 to 20:00, six celebrities battle in a new \u201cMasterChef auction\u201d challenge. The format demands speed and precision, and the stakes are high.

The Travelling Auctioneers \u2013 A Road\u2011Trip of Value<\/h2>\n

In the half hour slot starting 18:30, the travelling auctioneers explore hidden gems and hidden stories. JB uncovers a book with a surprise value, and Robin saves a wheelbarrow from a scrap heap. The show holds up as an engaging, low\u2011stakes adventure that offers a quick pick\u2011up for viewers looking for something light yet intriguing.<\/p>\n

Would I Lie to You? \u2013 Panel Comedy at its Best<\/h2>\n

At 20:00, Rob Brydon hosts the panel show where Lee Mack and David Mitchell team up with guests to spin tales.

Mrs Brown\u2019s Boys \u2013 Family Chaos with a Side of Sarcasm<\/h2>\n
