<\/p>\nThe Traitors UK season 4 has stuck to a regular schedule for the last two weeks \u2014 8pm on the dot on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday \u2014 but that’s changing slightly for the finale, and the bad news is we’re going to have wait even longer to see who takes home the prize money.<\/p>\n
The good news is that it’s only an extra half hour wait, and it’s an extended episode.<\/p>\n
The Traitors season 4 finale will start at 8.30pm on Friday, 23 January on BBC One and run for 75 minutes, rather than the usual 65. A longer edition of The Traitors: Uncloaked follows at 9.45pm.<\/p>\n
That pushes BBC News at Ten back to 10.30pm, while The Graham Norton Show won’t start until 11.10pm.<\/p>\n
Would I Lie to You? is still being shown right before The Traitors, with an 8pm start, while Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job is being moved to 7.30pm instead of following on from Uncloaked.<\/p>\n
