‘The Traitors’: BBC & Studio Lambert Accused Of Being Misleading About Hit Show’s Scottish Roots


The BBC has been accused over 'The Traitors' Scottish roots and whether it is meeting Ofcom regulations.

The BBC has been accused of painting a “truly shocking picture” when it comes to the number of people working on the show who are based in Scotland, which is where it is filmed and where it qualifies as a “Scottish commission” under Ofcom regulations. In a LinkedIn post that is being shared throughout the UK production community and has amassed more than 650 likes, Strachan said the data paints a “truly shocking picture.” He accused the BBC of “de facto cultural bias” and said it is “refusing to behave fairly.” Nations & Regions rules are set by Ofcom and are in place to create a fairer system and more work for ‘true’ local indies.
