51. Celebrity Traitors finale week: The REAL big dog! Producer and Founder of Studio Lambert | Stephen Lambert OBE

The question is...are you a faithful, or are you a traitor? Television is something we all enjoy. But few of us get to see how the shows we love actually come to life and why some of them grip the nation in what can only be described as a phenomenon. Today on All About Business, James is joined by Stephen Lambert OBE. Stephen is a producer and founder of Studio Lambert, the production company behind some of the UK’s most successful shows like The Traitors , Gogglebox , Squid Game: The Challenge and Race Across the World. In this episode, they explore how Stephen built the UK’s most successful independent production company, what goes into producing formats that connect with audiences around the world, and why encouraging risk-taking and innovation is so important in TV.
