Inside 'the original Traitors' BBC show where contestants bluffed their way to a £5,000 cash prize - 20 years before Claudia Winkleman series sent fans wild As The Traitors cements itself as one of the most beloved game shows on British television, UK viewers might be interested to know it's not the BBC's first try at the format.
Clips of a 20-year-old British gameshow called Traitor, which partly resembles the BBC and IDTV show, The Traitors, have surfaced online as The Traitors, set in a grand castle in the Scottish Highlands, reaches its eagerly-anticipated conclusion tonight.
On Thursday, BBC presenter Greg James enlightened his followers about Traitor on Instagram - and revealed that national treasure Ruth Wilson previously appeared on the show.
Unlike the current show, hosted by Claudia Winkleman, viewers could look away from the screen if they did not want to know the identity of the traitors, according to Deadline.
The aim for the Faithful is to successfully banish all the Traitors before the end of the game, and if they do, they are the winners and will walk away with the prize money.
