Rise and Fall is a British reality television series broadcast on Channel 4, which premiered on 19 March 2023 and is hosted by Greg James.
Sixteen contestants divide themselves into the "Rulers" and the "Grafters". While the Rulers live in a luxury penthouse making the decisions, the Grafters live in the basement, carrying out tasks to win money for the prize pot. In each episode, the Rulers vote on one of their number to be eliminated from the game and one of the Grafters has a chance to move up to the penthouse to join them. The winner is chosen from the Rulers at the end of the series to win the prize pot of up to £100,000.[2]
The first episode was broadcast at 9pm on Sunday 19 March 2023;[3] subsequently episodes were broadcast at 10pm on weekday evenings before being available for streaming on All 4.[2]
Format
Sixteen contestants arrive at a building in central London and, after briefly getting to know one another, have to decide amongst themselves who becomes a "Ruler" and who remains as a "Grafter".[4] Rulers take the lift to a luxury penthouse, while the Grafters remain in the no-frills basement. The series winner will be eventually chosen from the Rulers to win the prize pot of up to £100,000.
The Rulers are responsible for making decisions about how to get the best from the Grafters, who complete tasks to make money for the prize pot. Two Rulers also face an additional challenge to pick four Grafters to do overtime, motivating their teams by each setting a production target in the overtime task.[5]
At the end of each second episode, the Rulers have to vote on which ruler leaves the game. One of the Grafters then has a chance to join the Rulers and move to the penthouse. New "Grafters" regularly join as the series goes on, to make up the numbers.
Production
Channel 4 ordered Rise and Fall from production company, Studio Lambert, in August 2022.[1] An application was made in November 2022 to film the series at Southbank Tower in central London, but filming eventually took place in London's 1927 55 Broadway tower.[6]
Presenter Greg James made a telephone call to The Traitors' presenter, Claudia Winkleman, for advice about how to approach the presentation of the series.[7]
During the series, contestants were filmed 24 hours a day.[7]

Notes
Critical reception
The Guardian reviewer described the series as "The Apprentice Traitors Big Brother" and gave 3 out of 5 stars, concluding that "so far there are no revealing interactions between the proles and the blinged-up bosses, nothing to compete with the psychological subtlety and strain of The Traitors’ extended bluffs. Beneath that shiny veneer of newness is an old-fashioned, backstabbing bunfight between unlikable people – entertaining, yes, but business as usual."[11]
The reviewer from The Telegraph described Rise and Fall as "The Traitors’ garish little cousin", adding that "contestants in the The Traitors had to do mean things but it was always just a game; here, you suspect that some of them just aren’t very nice people." The Telegraph gave the show 2 out of 5 marks.[12]
The Lancashire Post concluded that Rise and Fall was "not immediately gripping, but as time goes by the dynamic becomes more and more fascinating, and especially after this week, you can’t help hoping for a revolution".[13]
At the end of the first week, The Observer described Rise and Fall as trying to be "a primetime TV treatise on capitalism and power". It criticised it for too many of the contestants being "hyper-camera-aware wannabes" and the tasks as "Torture TV" that would put off families from watching.[14]
After the end of the second week The Tab highlighted the lack of diversity amongst the Rulers, suggesting 'unconcious bias' was having an effect. All four ethnic minority rulers had been voted out, followed by the remaining two women, leaving all six rulers as white men. The Tab concluded that "the show right now has a real problem and looks questionable".[15]
