The Traitors

A secret Traitor. Fiona v Rachel. The family tree theory. And a contestant with a naked handstand Instagram account. It may not have reached the sensational heights of the recent celebrity series, but The Traitors has delivered on the naughty thrills we need in January. It’s also given us a good bunch of Faithfuls who have actually sniffed out Traitors – but will they make it to the end? Get ready to scream at the screen throughout the final. Hollie Richardson

The Eternal Daughter (Joanna Hogg, 2022), 11pm, BBC Two
There are plenty of creaks and bumps in the night in Joanna Hogg’s latest drama, set in a Welsh country hotel shrouded in mist. But despite the haunted house trappings, this is a place where the ghosts are mostly memories. Tilda Swinton, always a sensitive performer, takes dual roles: film-maker Julie and her elderly mother, Rosalind. They come to stay at the rural venue – which used to be the home of Rosalind’s aunt – as a nostalgia trip and a birthday treat for Rosalind. But Julie is unsettled by unexplained noises, while her buttoned-up parent’s recollections of childhood visits there encompass the bad as well as the good. A poignant tale of love, loss and remembrance. Simon Wardell

This 2017 film focuses on Matilda Lutz’s Jen, whose weekend away at her married lover’s desert pied-à-terre turns into a nightmare when his two “associates” turn up. Sexually assaulted, thrown off a cliff and impaled on a tree, she just about survives then takes the titular retribution. Lutz makes an impressive transformation from trophy mistress to angel of death, with the movie’s feminist empowerment message having to compete with its visceral thrills. SW
