The Traitors

Hands up, I'm an addict. At least, I have an addictive personality. Hence my ability - nay, compulsion - to binge watch.

Goodness knows how I ever managed before netflix/prime (other streaming services are available) came along. Oh, I remember - it was wall-to-wall videos.

Anyway, the first thing I did after my marathon of researching/ writing/publishing/promoting the Time Doctors series {which lasted 25 month), was catch up on one of the series I'd been missing out on: The Traitors.
The huge pull for me had to be Claudia Winkleman - she can do no wrong in my book.

I started watching S3 Ep3, and was instantly hooked, binging all the way through to Ep9 in a couple of days. Because I had to wait several days for Ep10, I loaded up on the entire series 1 and 2 in between times. Normally I can't stand reality shows (unless it's Strictly, which doesn't count because, well, it's Strictly), but this one had me well and truly hooked. Not just because of Claude's scary-faced delivery and stern voice, but the whole set-up of people trying to outsmart their fellow inmates. Genius.





And what a setting - although they're not fooling anyone about the contestants' accommodations being off site - why bother with the footage of the landrovers? Not cool guys. But I guess they've been getting away with the Strictly Sunday results show subterfuge since forever ...
I just found out there'll be a celeb one - could be fun - depends on how seriously they take it and whether they can put their egos aside.

And how fun that Molly, who should, by rights have won series 2, is now a contestant in Dancing on Ice?
