Good morning hoddlers and welcome to another edition of fitzie’s film and tv reviews, where your hoddler-in-chief reviews all that’s come across the big and small screen.
——
Today we only have one offering for Fitzie’s Film and TV Reviews, so I say let’s get on with it.
The Celebrity Traitors: The latest UK edition of The Traitors series features a heavy-hitting lineup featuring Stephen Fry, Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr, Tom Daley, Celia Imrie, Clare Balding and a host of those on the panel-show circuit.
The premise of the show is that there are usually three contestants in a castle designated as “traitors”, who “murder” the remaining so-called faithful. The faithful, in turn, must snuff out the traitors to win the big prize at the end.
I’m not going to spoil this edition. Nor do I think it’s a spoiler to say that this affirms for me that Nick Mohammed is one of the great joys of television. And it’s a darn shame I can’t say anything more lest I reveal what happens to him or his fellow contestants.
The celebrity aspect of the show helped, I think. None of these contestants needed the money, so that took away something that would have led to deep animosity amongst them (as it did in other editions of the series). They all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game, and had a deep knowledge of it.
I devoured this series in two days. I wish I didn’t, because it means that now I have no more Celebrity Traitors to watch. It’s absolutely brilliant.
