00:00Were you surprised to get as far as you did?
00:02Yes, very much. I mean, I had...
00:04We certainly were.
00:07I had hoped to be Hercule Poirot and instead ended up as Inspector Clouseau.
00:14Which was painful.
00:15But I have to say, you are a victim.
00:17You're a victim to the edit.
00:19And they edited out all my jokes just to try and make those comedians seem funny.
00:23Yeah.
00:24They didn't edit out all your correct guesses.
00:30You took it so seriously.
00:32It was very serious.
00:33It was adorable.
00:33Yes, but people are accusing you of murder and things like that.
00:36And whenever anyone accused me of murder,
00:39I really wanted to kind of grab a fork and stab them.
00:44It is actually psychological torture.
00:48Very much.
00:48You're in this bubble.
00:49You don't have your phones.
00:51You're in this kind of cocoon.
00:54And you have nothing else to think about except the game of Traitor.
00:58So you go mad.
00:58But also, the thing I would say, and I think you'll all agree,
01:01is often people take control in the challenges and they're rubbish.
01:08You took control and you were brilliant at the challenge.
01:11You're kind to say to me.
01:18Taking control is one way of describing it.
01:20My wife described it as being bossy.
01:23But, yeah, you know, they're long-haired civilians.
01:25You need to get a grip of them.
01:27Yeah.
01:29And so it was Ross and myself giving instruction.
01:32But, you know, it was such a joy, such a pleasure.
01:34Actually, a mission is such a nice time to get out of the kind of psychological warfare of the castle
01:39and escape into the beautiful Scottish island.
01:41But also, you know, keeping the secret of the whole thing,
01:45did you tell your wife at least what had happened?
01:47No, I really didn't.
01:49You know, you're told not to tell anyone so that they might enjoy the show.
01:51And I got home and didn't tell her anything for months until it was broadcast.
01:54And when she watched the last thing, she turned around and said,
01:56I thought you'd won.
01:59And she's so disappointed with me now.
02:03We were all a bit disappointed.
