The Traitors, BBC One’s new reality competition series hosted by Claudia Winkleman, is the TV version of that. It’s Winkleman who chooses the traitors, then sends them off with a call of “happy murdering”. The first task alone features two huge Wicker Man-esque statues that go up in flames, suggesting that much of the budget has gone on health and safety, while the portraits of the contestants that hang on the walls look like they’ve been done with a computer “drawing” effect. Plus, there’s something incredibly satisfying about watching a contestant claim that their fellow player is “a really honest person”, while we sit at home smirking in the knowledge that they’re really a traitor.
