Well hazy. Just one week to go until the ultimate Game of Deception returns to our screens on the beautiful ten Network. It is the Traitor's Sunday, thirteenth of August seven thirty on ten and ten play and joining us in the studio is such a treat. It's the delicious Roger Corser.
Wow, delicious on the sexiest network again.
Yes, welcome back to Adelaide. I know you're on the Traders. However, we need to talk about McLeod's daughters, which was how long ago?
Oh, it's like yesterday, twenty years years ago.
Yes, I was in primary.
School and your character talk us through that.
They used to.
Nickname me the wranglers who did all the horses and everything. They used to i'd come into town ago. It's Peter the prick from Queensland because he was a bit of a cad. He had a relationship with Claire the lead and got her pregnant and then you got to tell her that he was he was married previously and he was a cad.
He's a cad. Good to hate.
So all these roles where you play a genuine pants man, including a doctor doctor.
Yeah, it must be such foreign territory for you, Yes, but you make it look so natural. Wow, we're to tread here. I suppose it's It's part of drama, isn't it.
I mean, you know, love interests and all that kind of stuff is dramatic, especially in comedy drama.
Eventually you have to get your drawers off, so to speak.
So far you've used the word cad and drawers I am from. But the reality is your family life is very different, and it's sort of mirrors mirror's mine. You've got four kids, four kids.
Yeah, my eldest she just turned twenty first on the weekend. So I have to write a speech at some stay.
Wow to help you with that.
Yeah, Dad's a cad. Dad's a cad. Don't do what dad did.
The other thing we've learned about you is you're a big fan of these guys.
We've always said, Roger, you're only as good as your last game, that's right. I mean, how good has it bet colling I mean, I don't care where we are on the ladder to beat Collingwood.
Happy days, we're happy team.
What sort of supporter are you if you're sitting at home in your laundry watching it?
Oh, I know, I can yell at the telly, I can make my wife leaves the room and goes. I can't listen to this pretty much.
I can get pretty frustrated, which this season I have been a little bit frustrated, but you know, we are building towards something, and I mean a game like that.
Gives a lot of a lot of hope.
I knew he was right, Sammy getting rid of all those experience like premiership players.
Yeah, and I was within them the whole way. Who's causing you the most frustration?
Is it?
Sicily, he's been a gun the last he's start. I mean, he's just stat man. But games like that make you, you know, they get yourselck thing to buy another membership. It's about right now to spin for next year.
Yeah. What we can do are the traders going great? Yeah? Yeah, going well in the UK?
Apparently going gangbusters.
Yeah, we got really well viewed over there, so we
shot ours first. It's originally a Dutch format and then the whole world kind of bought the format, but then our version's gone to the BBC and on Peacock over there, and they're all saying our verse the best one in the English speaking world Wow, because our gameplay was pretty intense last year, the ending, which you can still catch up and what do you want to So it's a fun What I really like about the hosting, because I'm usually an actor, is I get to play sort of
a bit of a theatrical That's why I use the word cad and all these some sort of Lord of the manor this nineteen sort of thirties deco hotel and the reality contestants. So some reality shows are a bit serious, and I like to sort of take the mickey out of the contestants a little bit and we.
Have a great old time.
And you know, players get murdered in our game by
by other contestants. There traitors who are sort of working against everyone, and so the game moves really quickly because we get to sort of vote out players and players get murdered and then we just lose players left right at the center all the time, and no one knows who's telling the truth, and so there's a lot of deceit and betrayal, and so we played in that kind of The tone is very Pludo knives out and you know, and I have a fabulous wardrobe budget.
Channel ten can I have some of that peel back the curtain for a second. Where's it shot and how much do you actually have to do with the contestants or do you just kind of come in on set and do you plase?
I just sworn in and just save words and no, it's near Boarrel, if you know. The Highlands is sort of in around miss South Wales and some old deco hotel which is a working hotel. So everyone gets locked in these hotel there's they're rooms for like three weeks and they sort of wan to let them out to film them, so they go. It's pretty intense for them, you know, the game is they don't know who's lying
or who's who's telling the truth. And this year we added a little extra special layer of bringing some sort of semi famous sort of celebrity reality TV people who have done a bunch of these shows before and they know how to bring this sort of game straight off the cuff, so they're in straight away.
Are you talking about your show? We're talking about the media industry in general. We're a reflection. Yeah.
I mean, if anyone can turn on each other, it's people in the video. Wow. Well, Roger, thank you so much. For coming in this morning. It does Premium Sunday seven thirty on ten.
Thank you so much, Thank yous,
