The Traitors and unconscious bias

from AntiSocial · host BBC Radio 4

The UK's most popular TV show, The Traitors, has come under the spotlight not just because of its popularity but because it has been accused of reflecting prejudice in British society. The charge is that contestants from ethnic minorities are more likely to be expelled early on in the game because of unconscious bias, particularly unconscious racial bias. Others shows too, like Strictly Come Dancing, Love Island and Big Brother have faced similar accusations. Adam Fleming unpicks the debate. Presenter: Adam Fleming Production team: Charlotte McDonald, Natasha Fernandes and John Murphy Studio manager: Andrew Mills Production coordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: Penny Murphy
