There's a different story about BBC Traitors spend in Scotland

LAST week, the BBC published an economic impact report for The Traitors.

Its colourful headlines proclaimed the hit show has added £21.8 million to Scotland’s economy over the last three years, with every £1 spent on making the show resulting in almost £7 of wider economic impact.

But when you look beyond the gloss, a different story emerges because this purported boon isn’t translating into a bonanza for Scotland’s screen talent.

The considerable production spend of The Traitors is undoubtedly beneficial for hotels, car hire companies and suchlike. No issues there. However, the claim that 750 jobs, 189 a year, have been “supported in Scotland” is another matter. Even taking this figure at face value, the overwhelming majority of these jobs certainly aren’t production based.
