Celebrity Traitors - may the oldies rule!

Marmin

As an aside, I see quite a few people dislike Stephen Fry. I have never come across this before. May I ask what it is people are so averse to?

I would describe Stephen Fry as a pompous arse

I don't usually like Alan Carr but I really warmed to him - hope he doesn't give the game away, or worse still, get confused and attempt to 'murder' someone who has a shield.

Jonathan Ross really slipped up when he was talking with the rugby player in the kitchen...

Great start to the series.

I don't know who some of the younger contestants are but I don't think that any of them are recycled reality show "celebrities". So far, I find Lucy with the wee girly voice annoying but then I always have. I am not sure how this first murder will be achieved but I hope that Alan can pull it off without giving himself away. So far so entertaining.

Great start to the series. Alan Carr is hilarious and much more naturally witty than I thought he would be. I know Jonathan Ross is like Marmite for many people - I've always liked his sense of humour and I think he's genuinely interested in other people. Nick was so interesting when he presented one of the Proms concerts this year so he could be good to watch. Can't wait for this evening's show!

Also, I loved Claudia's boots and extra long sleeves

Oh, not extra-long sleeves MollyNew 😲

I hugely enjoyed the whole thing, being a newcomer to Traitors. It was much better than I anticipated and I really like most of the celebs. Alan Carr is just brilliantly funny. I'm not sure how the murders get carried out so I'm really looking forward to this evening. Yay 😁

I thought the girl was joking when she talked about cutting off her leg!

My G’ma would say that he’s too clever for his own good.
I try to avoid his programmes, though I think he’s a kind man in real life.

Alan Carr is the polar opposite; he makes fun of himself all the time and is so witty. I hope he does well.

First time watching Traitors and mainly checked in for Alan Carr.Another programme I wasn't going to watch were the ones with Amanda Holden renovating houses in Italy and Spain ,but accidentally got into, and I found him hilariously witty in those.Also really like Nivk Mohammed. I'm already hooked.

I’m loving the show. Was hoping that Nick Mohammed would be chosen as a traitor. We had a glimpse of how intelligent he is , when he solved the key puzzle at on of the gates.
His persona is that of a confused and unaware man, I can’t wait for his true side to be revealed

Lol! Yes I've been reading a thread about sleeves.

I don't think Claudia has to worry about doing the washing up

I’ve been looking forward to Celebrity Traitors - it didn’t disappoint. At least most of them are well-known, not like some of the other shows and it’s for charity.
I’m not a fan of Alan Carr, but it’ll be interesting to see if he can stay under the radar tonight!! 🤣 I always watch Uncloaked afterwards.
The prog clashed with Pub Walks, so I had to record that for another time. 😎

I’m not sure why some people dislike Stephen Fry - I admire him for his intelligence. At least he’s not as annoyingly camp as Alan Carr! 🤣 Makes me cringe…

I feel Stephen Fry is very self aware but Alan Carr is just himself.

Sorry don't watch it

Nor does that singer with all those stringy bits hanging off her sleeves!

I don't mind Stephen Fry at all. I think his manner hides the fact that he is uncomfortable in large gatherings.

From finding Alan rather irritating years ago, he's grown on me over the years. 😁

I found it very funny and am looking forward to the next instalment. I think the celebrities are going to be far more normal than usual.

I like Steven Fry as well. I especially liked his series, Kingdom, which was filmed in Swaffham.

Yes, that was good.

Why has he decided to go on the show then? Maybe a personal challenge, or the big pay packet?

Yes - it started last night, and I accidentally switched it on. . I've never watched it before so it was quite unexpected. I do like entertainment which requires brain power, but I really wish that they could have avoided the theme of murder. There must be other plot lines that would work equally well and be less unpleasant.

I feel a bit guilty about saying this- but I really enjoyed seeing Clare Balding being her usual very superior , confident and rather overbearing self, so working independently, then making a a really bad, embarrassing and disastrous mistake when the group was trying to work out the code for opening the gate.

Record or switch straight over to BBC2 if you watch Traitors live.

Wait a lucky girl you are, as that means you can go to iplayer and watch past series.
