A hit TV show The Traitors appeared on the BBC 20 years ago, but the show was cut after just one season because no one was interested in it. Despite the fact that Claudia Winkleman's lead came from the Dutch 'De Verraders' series, a replica of the program appeared on British television in 2004. Traitor, the early 00s' film, was hosted by a group of nine people who wanted to discover which of them had trealed the others. Every contestant was voted out of office by Tony Livesey to try and prevent them from winning the £5,000 cash prize. However, the participants were not allowed to sit at a table in a TV studio rather than in an aesthetic Scottish castle. Many in the 2004 tournament used similar name badges and held up cards as they tried to determine the game's villain.

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 22, 2023
EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: The only fly in the late Queen's enjoyment of Windsor Castle was the proximity of Heathrow. When staging King Charles' Coronation Concert at the castle in May, the nearness of the world's busiest airport sparked a lot of anxiety. The event's hosts were concerned that the Civil Aviation Authority would interfere because of hundreds of planes flying overhead during Lionel Richie and Take That's performances. The CAA agreed to the use of lasers and drones, and Beeb and the Beeb's delight diverted the flight paths of all Heathrow-bound planes on the night. Perhaps a posthumous condolence to the late Queen?She had joked that the late President Ronald Reagan had asked: 'Ma'am why did you build the castle so close to the airport?' Princess Eugenie and her sister Beatrice had two sets of table manners after recalling the late Queen's meals. 'We had table manners when we were with granny, and table manners Z was when we were at home,' she recalls. Fergie's mother was eagle-eyed at home, but she didn't have a clue about their meals with HM. Eugenie says, 'We can't have knees at the table.' 'If I had a knee [sitting up against] the table, mum would say, 'Are they invited to lunch?'Might dad Andrew have been having his own knees up at Woking's Pizza Express? Emily Maitlis and Sam McAlister's relationship, which included Andrew's car accident interview, was turned into a Netflix film starring Gillian Anderson as Maitlis, has a bit of a miaow fest. Emily was then chastised that Amazon had recruited Ruth Wilson to play her. Sam, who blasted when she was asked for the Andrew exclusive but was still waiting for confirmation by Emily, has revealed: 'It's debut in February was actually announced in February.' Girls!

In The Second Woman, JESSICA HONNOR discusses Ruth Wilson's 24-hour endurance endurance test

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 21, 2023
JESSICA HONNOR: If I felt bleary-eyed after a seven-hour marathon watching The Second Woman, I can only imagine how Ruth Wilson must have felt after her 24-hour marathon run. For the audience, it was a marathon long enough. I was apprehensive when I landed. Even as a theatre enthusiast, I was worried that seeing Wilson act out one seven-minute scene about a couple's break-up 100 times with 100 different co-stars (most of whom weren't even actors) would be interminable. I couldn't have been more wrong. Wilson's character, Virginia, is straightforward: Wilson's character, Marty, needs to be reminded that after a war, he still thinks she is beautiful. She hurls her Chinese takeaway noodles at him. The pair dance to Aura's terribly catchy song Taste Of Love (I'll be humming it for days). Wilson finally pays him £20, but tells him not to leave. Then the next man appears, and so on. Inset: Ben Whishaw, a James Bond actor, was one of the actors.
