The Traitors

This programme contains some strong language

This game is so stressful. I cannot trust anyone.

My absolute worst nightmare.

22 complete strangers from all across the UK are about to enter

this beautiful castle in the Scottish Highlands

to play the game of a lifetime and to hopefully win up to £120,000.

They'll work together as a team...

Oh, my God!

SCREAMING

..to build up that prize pot by completing epic missions.

We're buried alive.

SCREAMING

SCREAMING

But hidden amongst them are the Traitors,

who will secretly murder their fellow players at night,

eliminating them from the game.

It's up to the others to work out who the Traitors are and banish them

before they become their next victim.

Yeah, I knew she was a Faithful all along.

But is that because you're a Traitor?

I'm not a Traitor. I swear on everything!

Will you let me speak?

You're a liar and YOU'RE a liar.

Oh, my God!

We are never going to find them if we keep arguing.

It's exhausting.

This is the ultimate game of deception, skill, and trust.

This is The Traitors.

I'm Amanda. I'm an estate agent from Swansea and a grandma.

Having five children and five grandchildren,

I can spot a liar a mile away.

Let's have a little cwtch.

I'm so nervous right now.

I'm Aaron. I'm 24 years old.

Have you ever been here before? No. Never been to Scotland.

No. Hi!

I'm quite like an open book. Like, I'm quite easy to read.

Like, I'm a salesman's dream.

What do you study? International human rights.

Basically just a posh politics degree.

Very boring.

Oh, number four. Here we go.

Hello!

Sunny in Scotland.

Yeah, it's crazy. Makes a change.

My name is Andrea.

I'm 72 years old.

I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this.

At my age, to have this chance in life.

Oh, my God. I just can't believe it.

It's wonderful to be on a steam train again.

I haven't been on one for years and years.

This is already like an Agatha Christie novel.

Hello!

Hi!

I'm Alex. I'm 26.

I'm a presenter, actress, and social media content creator.

Oh! Oh, careful.

I got a first in psychology from UCL,

but no-one here needs to know that.

Hello, mate, you all right? Hey, how's it going?

Got another one. Absolutely.

Oh, another one. Yeah. Can I join you?

He's got pink hair.

Nice to meet you. Tom. Tom. Nice to meet you.

What is it that you do?

I'm a magician. It's a weird one.

Magician?! No way! That's going to be so good!

The art of magic - there is some manipulation, you know,

deception, which, of course I'm going to bring into this game,

but I'm going to be keeping my cards close to my chest.

I'm going to be honest, I don't like magic

because I don't like not knowing how things are done.

Oh, my God! There it is! Oh, my God!

It's the Hogwarts Express. Yeah.

So good.

Thank you.

Oh, it's moving.

Do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster?

Oh! That's a very good question.

It is, isn't it?

I'm a motor mouth. I don't have a filter.

I tell everybody everything.

LAUGHTER

I'm a very Marmite person.

Like, you either love me or you hate me when you meet me.

What's your name? Alex. What's your name?

Matt. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

Alex is very pretty. Let's say that.

You've got really good teeth.

Thanks. You've got nice teeth as well. Thanks.

Hi, guys.

Hey, you all right? Lovely to meet you.

How nice to meet you.

Hey!

This is amazing!

It's so nice, isn't it? Oh, my God.

I keep thinking it's really low cloud, but it's not,

it's the steam off the train.

It's got that murder mystery vibe, though, innit?

You think where we are now...

I already don't know who to trust. No. Yeah.

I'm ready to get cracking.

I've obviously got to mingle with people,

start building my alliances.

Let the games begin.

Everyone's sizing each other up, and that's the scary part. Yeah.

Are you good at sussing people out? I'm just really accepting.

Just don't judge people.

I'm Amos, I'm 30 years old, and I'm a doctor from London.

Amongst my friendship group,

I'm probably the one that people rely on the most.

I'm quite dependable and I give good advice.

Everybody, come on, cheers. Cheers. Let's do this.

From a train to a Jeep.

Look how beautiful that is. Yes, yes.

Beautiful.

We look like the Mafia. I'm loving it. I'm loving it. I feel hard.

Eyes peeled for castles, right?

This is going to be a wild ride, whatever happens.

I just don't want to be out first!

No, you won't. Please!

My name's Wilfred. I'm 28.

I work for one of the biggest UK charities.

I'm amazing at positive persuasion.

I'm good at ethical manipulation.

I think what we need to do when we're in the castle,

we need to break off into other groups and make friends with them

so they don't want to vote us off, but we stick together.

Like a puppet master.

Is that a good plan or not? It's a good plan.

Andrea's Angels.

LAUGHTER

Oh, this looks like the entrance to a castle.

Oh, my God!

CHEERING

Oh, no, that ain't small. That ain't small.

Oh, my God.

VARIOUS GASPS AND EXCLAMATIONS

That is insane.

Oh, I just got really nervous.

Andrea's Angels. Andrea's Angels! Andrea's Angels! Andrea's Angels!

CHEERING

Here we go. Thank you.

I'm so excited!

Oh, it's lovely. It's lovely.

Hello, everyone.

Hello.

That's my crush! That's my celebrity crush!

So a huge welcome to the Scottish Highlands.

Did you enjoy the train?

Yes.

Oh, well, we're going to have such a great time together.

If you win this game, you could win up to £120,000.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

This is a game,

and I just want you to know that the game started

when you got on the train.

I would like to start with a little exercise.

Why not? Sun's shining, we're by The Traitors castle.

What I would like you to really think about

is how far you're going to make it in this game.

You've sussed each other out.

Do you secretly think, "I'm the smartest one here"?

Maybe now you've met, you think,

"Do you know what? I'm in over my head."

Then I would like you to get in a line, please.

Show me how well you're going to do,

with most likely to win there... Oh, my God!

..least likely to win there.

I know I'm going to go down this bottom end.

I'm just walking up there.

I'm going to win. I know I'm going to win.

I'm Imran. I'm 23 years of age from West Sussex.

I know I'm going to win.

I achieved my PhD at the age of 22,

which for the discipline is the youngest in the world.

Certainly here to win this competition.

I can pull this off.

I'm fine. I love it.

I just wanted to blend in.

I was like, I don't really want to stand out here.

I spent so much time with Andrea and the train,

and I knew she was just amazing energy and she could do anything.

I walked her straight to the front.

I'm not going to go at the end. Something's going to happen.

Does anybody want to change their mind?

I think... I think just one up. Just one.

I don't want to be the cocky, confident one at the end,

thinking you've got this, you're going to win hands down.

So I thought, I'm just going to rock up at the end space.

Well, you've gone from the top to bottom.

I'm coming to the end.

Are you all absolutely sure of this?

This is the most likely, and this is the least likely.

So Andrea and Imran, did you suss everyone out?

Did you think, "Do you know what? We'll take them?"

100%, definitely.

I go with whatever Imran says. Yeah.

OK, so let's go to the other end, and we have Kieran and Amos.
