    Celebrity Traitors review: Why TV's biggest phenomenon is still impossible to resist (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Celebrity Traitors, BBC One, Thursday A career-maker, a ratings juggernaut, the last chance to save the licence fee: it is a lot of pressure to pile on a souped-up game of Cluedo, but the hype is almost justified when it comes to The Celebrity Traitors. Many hopes are riding on the new series being as record-breaking as the last, when 15 million watched comedian Alan Carr triumph as a Traitor. While not quite in Morecambe and Wise Christmas special territory, in today’s broadcast game, The C

    He is the backstreet guy to her uptown girl, the Billy Joel to her Christie Brinkley, the bit of whiskery rough to her satin. Or is it, deliciously, the other way around?

    Wargame TV review: Sturgeon is playing a game here. Next stop, Celebrity Traitors (opens the original)

As the former FM herself said, the country would have to be in a dreadful way for such a pairing to happen. We’re talking last people on Earth here. The actual, or rather make-believe, situation is a Russian attack on the UK. It is this, we are led to believe, that prompts the likes of Sturgeon, Gove, Jim Murphy and Penny Mordaunt to form a c
