‘The Traitors’: BBC & Ofcom Were Forced To Correct Record Over Scottish Talent Working On Season 1


'The Traitors' BBC Scottish talent row has extended with Ofcom revealed to have corrected its Made Outside London register 2022 for Season 1 of the show.

Deadline can now reveal that late last year the BBC and Ofcom were forced to amend the regulator’s record of how many Scots worked on Season 1 of The Traitors, which is produced by London-headquartered Studio Lambert in Scotland and qualifies as a Scottish commission. “As a crucial means of supporting TV production in the nations and regions, we take broadcasters’ compliance with our Made Outside London regulations very seriously,” said an Ofcom spokesman. Strachan’s LinkedIn post, in which he accused the BBC of painting a “truly shocking picture” when it comes to the number of people working on all seasons of The Traitors, has now been liked more than 1,000 times and has kickstarted a big debate.
