Traitors, truth and trust
‘What self-respecting murder mystery doesn’t have a priest.’ So said the Rev Lisa Coupland in the recent hit psychological reality TV series, The Traitors, where players have to decide who they can trust. The ‘Faithful’ spend their time trying to work out who the Traitors are, and the Traitors, ‘murder’ the Faithful one by one. It is a game that has taken the country by storm.
But, does the programme glorify lies and deception at a time when, as a nation, some studies suggest we are becoming more dishonest? And what message does it send when a priest appears on a show hiding her identity and prepared to lie to her fellow players?
Joining Delyth Liddell to discuss these questions are the Traitor star Rev Lisa Coupland; Peter Ladd, head of content at CARE; and Simon Plant, co-founder of the charity for action on Spiritual Abuse.
