Wallace And Gromit Traitors crossover ident sees Feathers McGraw ...

A new ident advertising the new series of The Traitors shows Wallace And Gromit villain Feathers McGraw being unmasked as a traitor.

The crossover appeared on screens after Wallace And Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl aired on BBC One on Christmas Day, with the new series of the BBC reality game show set to begin on New Year’s Day.

The ident begins with a shot of Wallace and Gromit’s home with a light flickering, before thunder can be heard and Feathers McGraw appears in a dark hood as the Traitors theme music plays in the background. He then pulls the hood down and shushes viewers.

A voiceover from The Traitors presenter Claudia Winkleman then tells viewers the new series will begin at 8pm on New Year’s Day on BBC One and iPlayer.

It comes after a number of festive idents featuring characters from the Aardman series aired across the BBC over the Christmas period.

The new Wallace And Gromit film sees the evil penguin, who was first seen in 1993’s Bafta and Oscar-winning short The Wrong Trousers, return to seek revenge on the inventor and his loyal beagle.

The Traitors, which is set to see an Irish adaption in 2025, will see a group of strangers meet at a castle in the Scottish Highlands to play a game which will test their trust, as well as their skills in detection and backstabbing – with the chance of winning up to £120,000.

In the show, a group of traitors must secretly murder their fellow players without getting caught, while the faithful attempt to banish the traitors from the game.

Those left at the end have a chance of winning a chunk of the prize, but if a traitor survives until the end they can take the full prize.
