The Claudia Winkleman-fronted TV series has built a fiercely devoted following in recent weeks.

"It's got a fresh formula which nobody else has really done," says Harrison Brocklehurst, pop culture writer for the Tab. "And in a time when a lot of reality TV has blurred into one, all following the same formulas with who they cast, I think the Traitors really stands out as unique. A possible jackpot of £120,000 can be won by the faithfuls who make it to the end. However, if any traitors make it to the final undetected, they take all the money instead. The concept is delicious, and makes for addictive viewing.
"So that could be an inspiration. Our British colleagues also added some game elements that will be useful to us."The nightly roundtable discussions give the players a chance to banish suspected traitors The Traitors maintains a constant air of suspicion even as bonds start to form between the players, nearly all of whom have huge personalities. Nobody gets through a sentence uninterrupted; the atmosphere is one of chaos and tension.
"Inevitably, there will be a few [familiar] things," says Phillips. "You might think 'Oh I've seen a task a bit like that before', but I think nobody has ever seen a show quite like this. I think partly that's because of the gothic melodrama, the capes, the fires, the night time, make it feel very distinctive."
Its viewing figures paint a mixed picture. The opening episode attracted 2.9 million viewers - a respectable but not outstanding figure. Phillips agrees, adding: "When I'm looking at a new show, the other thing I always say is 'What are the Gogglebox moments?'
