something else for the next 30 minutes. because we are going to be talking all about it. and boy, was eight another nail—biting end to the second season final. final spoiler warning now because here is a little reminder of how last night's episode reached its dramatic conclusion. i believe harry should be banished. yes, i think with the suspicions i have from andrew and previously, i will stick with harry. i am a faithful. ., ., , ., , , faithful. you have been absolutely brilliant, please _ faithful. you have been absolutely brilliant, please leave _ faithful. you have been absolutely brilliant, please leave the - faithful. you have been absolutely brilliant, please leave the castle. | brilliant, please leave the castle. i am _ brilliant, please leave the castle. i am a _ brilliant, please leave the castle. i am a faithful.— i am a faithful. harry, please reveal, i am a faithful. harry, please reveal. are — i am a faithful. harry, please reveal, are you _ i am a faithful. harry, please reveal, are you a _ i am a faithful. harry, please reveal, are you a faithful - i am a faithful. harry, please reveal, are you a faithful or. i am a faithful. harry, please i reveal, are you a faithful or are you a traitor? i

reveal, are you a faithful or are you a traitor?— reveal, are you a faithful or are you a traitor? i am, and since the start... you a traitor? i am, and since the start- -- being _ you a traitor? i am, and since the start... being a _ you a traitor? i am, and since the start... being a traitor. _ 0h, oh, my god. i oh, my god. lam oh, my god. i am the best traitor in the world! — oh, my god. i am the best traitor in the world! i — oh, my god. i am the best traitor in the world! i hope _ oh, my god. i am the best traitor in the world! i hope molly _ oh, my god. i am the best traitor in the world! i hope molly didn't - oh, my god. i am the best traitor in the world! i hope molly didn't hear i the world! i hope molly didn't hear that. the drama. so harry — who had been a traitor since the first episode — played a blinder and is now 95 thousand pounds richer. and you saw poor mollie was not happy — we can't broadcast what she said before 9 o'clock. we will hear from harry, mollie and jaz in a moment. butjoining me for the next half an hour are tv critics, toby earle and siobhan synnot.

i wanted to start with siobhan because some people may not have watched traitors, so it should mourn, can you explain how it actually works? well, it is a game for contestants that start off with 22 of them. they all start off as faithfuls but claudia winkleman picked out several that are going to be traitors. and their rule is to betray and confuse the situation so that when the contestants meet up for their nightly roundtable they will guess who is a traitor and who is a faithful. if they guess right they get to banish a traitors but if they get to banish a traitors but if they guess wrong then they banish one of their own. the ultimate prize is if you are the last mac freestanding, and it is only faithful, then you get to sleep the pot. if there is even one traitor in

your mix then they get the lot. it has been amazingly popular, why do you think that is? i has been amazingly popular, why do you think that is?— you think that is? i think first of all peeple _ you think that is? i think first of all peeple like _ you think that is? i think first of all people like to _ you think that is? i think first of all people like to think, - you think that is? i think first of all people like to think, what i you think that is? i think first of. all people like to think, what would i do in their place? could i be as ruthless as a traitor? could i be as morally upstanding and ultimately make it through to the final as some of the faithfuls could? it is certainly gripping the nation. it has been hard to think whether or not it could have improved on the first series, but it has. the final that was aired last night got 6.9 million people watching, that is double what the number were watching this time on the last series. so it has been a huge success, and it has shown that there was always something about harry. harry has betrayed, he has lied, he has manipulated, incredibly successfully. he is the richard iii

of modern days without the battle of bosworth field to spoil it all. he did play a blinder, bosworth field to spoil it all. he did playa blinder, didn't he, fair? did play a blinder, didn't he, fair? he was amazing, honestly. from the start and _ he was amazing, honestly. from the slarl and for— he was amazing, honestly. from the start and for someone so young as well to— start and for someone so young as well lojusl — start and for someone so young as well tojust go out start and for someone so young as well to just go out there and ruthlessly eat. he destroyed his other— ruthlessly eat. he destroyed his other contestants. he was amazing. so other contestants. he was amazing. 50 you _ other contestants. he was amazing. 50 you have — other contestants. he was amazing. so you have done it. what is it like on the set? how does it work? idelimit on the set? how does it work? when ou are on the set? how does it work? when you are on — on the set? how does it work? when you are on there. _ on the set? how does it work? when you are on there, to _ on the set? how does it work? when you are on there, to be _ on the set? how does it work? when you are on there, to be honest, - on the set? how does it work? when you are on there, to be honest, you don't _ you are on there, to be honest, you don't notice — you are on there, to be honest, you don't notice anything that is going on. don't notice anything that is going on you _ don't notice anything that is going on. you don't see any of the production— on. you don't see any of the production team because you are immersed — production team because you are immersed in this game of treachery. because _ immersed in this game of treachery. because it _ immersed in this game of treachery. because it is. it is really difficult _ because it is. it is really difficult to explain to people. lots of people — difficult to explain to people. lots of people say can't you see so and so is _ of people say can't you see so and so is a _ of people say can't you see so and so is a traitor? look at the expression on their face. no. you don't _ expression on their face. no. you don't see — expression on their face. no. you don't see any of that. because you are blindsided by everything else that is— are blindsided by everything else that is going on around you. and how much torque —

i didn't realise i could lie that well and keep it up. - it proved to make the best thing about it was i had that strong i mentality, ijust wanted to get the job done i and put in connections and _ iemotions behind putting the otherl people around me, the emotions at the forefront. and getting the job done. it made me take a step back- and think, but was actually quite i good and i did not expect it eitherl because when i went there, the first l couple of days i was struggling, l you are lying to people and building relationships from a lie which is the hardest thing to start a i friendship. yes, it wasjust mad. jaz, we will come to you in a moment but harry and molly, that final sequence, the two of you are left and you have to reveal and even in those final moments, you kept up the act.

you were looking each other in the eye, he was looking you in the eye. that last little whisper... i'm not a traitor. but it was going to stay don't stitch me up, i. am getting further and further away from mollyjust in case she throws. me over the balcony. but at the end i had to give it my all. i i had got that far i and lied for that long. i might as well have just kept up act. i jaz, i have so much respect for you, you've got this name now, your jazatha christie, because of your ability to work out what was going on, not call out the traitor too aggressively because that would leave you with a target on your back and i feel down to the last minute you played it as good as any faithful could but do you feel some sense of satisfaction from that? 100%.

it's the type of game, it's so strategic, you have to find balance in everything, at every opportunity, try and balance everything and if i went for harry or paul or whoever i needed to go for, you don't want to push it because everyone thinks why do you have such a strong agenda so that time came, it came, it was very tough. especially towards the end, it was a really— especially towards the end, it was a really difficult pill to swallow. but we — really difficult pill to swallow. but we have recovered. we have recovered — but we have recovered. we have recovered-— recovered. you say you have recovered — recovered. you say you have recovered because _ recovered. you say you have recovered because you i recovered. you say you have recovered because you have| recovered. you say you have i recovered because you have all had these amazing stories to tell, and thatis these amazing stories to tell, and that is what i think has been so emotionally engaging for the audience. do you feel your lives have almost changed for ever now, or are you looking forward to going back to some kind of normality? i think today has been a bit crazy, waking up and everyone seen what we have known for so long. but, yeah, we're just going to enjoy the ride,

building that anticipation. i think the clever thing about traitors and the clever thing about traitors and the way it is scheduled is they are giving people blocks of free episode so you have these tight narrative arcs over three episodes and then four days to reflect upon what has taken place. the series is only 12 episodes long, it does not outstay its welcome. everything is very compact. a lot happens in those episodes. and yet there are only 12 episodes, so brevity is its strength, ifeel. the scheduling also really drives that anticipation.- also really drives that anticipation. also really drives that anticiation. ,, :, ., ., , , anticipation. show has not only been --oular anticipation. show has not only been popular here — anticipation. show has not only been popular here in _ anticipation. show has not only been popular here in the _ anticipation. show has not only been popular here in the uk _ anticipation. show has not only been popular here in the uk but _ anticipation. show has not only been popular here in the uk but the i popular here in the uk but the format has been replicated in the us, australia, new zealand and elsewhere. let's take a quick look. i know how to make an entrance. from cut-throat reality _ i know how to make an entrance. from cut-throat reality stars _ i know how to make an entrance. from cut-throat reality stars two _ cut—throat reality stars two celebrities turned master strategists. who will win a quarter of $1 million?—

some sunshine at times, a bit more cloud in the south west of england, maybe moving into the midlands and ahead of our rain band approaching northern ireland and heading into the north—west of scotland, it's going to be windy with some gates in the north—west, some quite lively winds developing through the irish sea as well. but it is a southerly wind and that's why temperatures are continuing to rise. it's going to be a milder day on sunday, it could make 1a degrees in north wales and the moray firth. now those southerly winds are coming from a long way south and they could actually pick up some saharan dust, which will get blown in towards the uk just ahead of that weather front there, which will bring some wet weather. and we've got a bit more rain pushing towards england and wales. could turn quite heavy rain over the hills of wales, across northern england. and in the southern uplands, we're likely to find some snow falling as things get colder in scotland and northern ireland. but for the midlands, many parts of eastern england it may well be dry and we're in milder air here, so temperatures are likely to reach 1a or 15 degrees. that milder air, though, will get pushed away overnight

as these weather fronts move their way eastwards. could bring some snow to other higher parts of eastern scotland before that low pressure is out of the way and all the wet weather is out of the way, leaving cloud for england and wales, sunshine across scotland and northern ireland. that'll push a bit further south through the day. it will introduce cooler air, mind you, so we've got eight degrees in glasgow. could make 12 degrees in the south—east.
