AND THEN THERE WERE NONE 🤝 'The Traitors' :

A group of strangers brought together in a remote location ✅
They start getting murdered one by one ✅
The killer is amongst them ✅
Trust no one ✅
Can they unmask the 'traitor/s' before it's too late? ✅

We reckon Agatha Christie would suit some chunky knitwear and a pair of red leather fingerless gloves!

Ahead of tonight's final episode of 'Vera', we're remembering back to Sept 2022 when Brenda, the famous hat, and the film crew took over the People's for the day!

Our foyer became a hospital canteen, while our auditorium, stage and scene dock became, well, an auditorium, stage and scene dock!
