| #301 Sambre: Anatomy Of A Crime, Grace, and Only Murders In The Building. With guests Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan | 26 Aug 2024 | 01:28:36 | |
James is still absent while he devotes every waking hour to recovering from the Taylor Swift concert, so Boyd and Kay are joined by all-round legend Sophie Butcher, who recently compared Dating Naked UK and Love Island to Claire Denis’ masterpiece Beau Travail. Up for review this week are season 4 of Only Murders In The Building on Disney+ (we will not be doing a spoiler special for this season, though, due to public demand), plus French series Sambre: Anatomy Of A Crime on BBC4, and the new fourth series of ITV1 crime drama Grace, starring John Simm. And yes, Grace episodes are 90 minutes long. Apologies all round. As for the guests we have the lovely comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan discussing their Rob & Romesh Vs series on Sky Max and NOW. Just to underline that James is away this week… | |||
| #300 Sherwood, Pachinko, The Walking Dead: Dead City, and We Might Regret This. With guest James Graham | 19 Aug 2024 | 01:56:12 | |
We made it! 300 episodes (not counting the many episodes of Pilot+ or the spoiler specials) feels like quite the milestone, even if we weren’t able to do a live show because James has tickets to see Taylor Swift. He did manage to drag himself away from Eras Tour prep (those friendship bracelets don’t make themselves) to drop in and join Boyd and Kay for the 300th show, though, despite being on holiday. Could it be because Boyd and Kay both refused to watch yet another Walking Dead show? No comment. We do, however, get a run down of Dead City on Sky, as well as round two of Pachinko on Apple TV+, We Might Regret This on BBC2, and the return of Sherwood on BBC1, and on the subject of Sherwood, the creator and writer of the show, James Graham, is this week’s guest. Plus we have a few of you on as Well, leaving us testimonials to mark our threehundredieth birthday. Hooray! | |||

Plus, we take a look at WWII family drama We Were The Lucky Ones on Disney+, renew our gym membership with the second series of Peacock on BBC3, and head out into space with Lena Headey for the arrival of space lighthouse sci-fi series Beacon 23, which arrives on Disney+. All that and Boydy, who hosted the screening of the Inside No.9 finale (he may have mentioned it) provides his definitive list of the best nine episodes of the show. | |||
| #208 Gangs of London, The Peripheral, and Somewhere Boy. With guest Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù | 17 Oct 2022 | 01:41:48 | |
Gangs Of London star Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù joins us on this week's show, chatting murderisation (and, unexpectedly, Arsenal) with Boyd, plus we look at Gangs' second season and Kay is forced to put her low gore tolerance to the test. Then we head off to a virtual future with Chloe Grace Moretz in Prime Video's The Peripheral, and wonder what it would have been like to miss all of the past 15-odd years in Somewhere Boy on Channel 4. All that, plus a load of listener questions and a riveting account of the shows James has *not*, in fact, been watching. | |||
| #207 Shantaram, The Midnight Club, and The Ex-Wife. With guests Sharon Horgan and Celine Buckens | 10 Oct 2022 | 02:00:46 | |

All that and we head to India with Charlie Hunnam for Apple's adaptation of Shantaram, and tell some scary stories with Mike Flanagan in Netflix's The Midnight Club. Plus we get stuck into the pros and cons of true crime stories, and the correct etiquette for leaving podcast reviews (ideally accompanied by flowers and chocolate). | |||
| FX's The Bear: A Pilot TV/Empire Podcast Special, In Association With Disney+ | 05 Oct 2022 | 00:44:43 | |
Hands! Corner! Behind! No, we're not trying to activate The Winter Soldier — these phrases will make sense to you once you've watched the excellent new comedy-drama, FX's The Bear, the first season of which is now streaming on Disney+. It follows Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a highly-rated and extraordinarily-talented chef who swaps being a rising star on the New York fine dining scene for the relentless grind of running a sandwich shop in Chicago, bequeathed to him after the death of his older brother. And in this latest crossover episode of the Empire Film Podcast and the Pilot TV Podcast, in association with Disney+, Chris Hewitt, James Dyer, and Beth Webb get their teeth into The Bear, talking about its intensity, its humour, their own relationships with food and fine dining, and much, much more. It's a pod so good we give it three Michelin stars. And that, friends, is definitely a recommendation. Enjoy! | |||
| #206 The Bear, Wreck, and The Walk-In | 03 Oct 2022 | 01:18:17 | |
The Bear there was. The Bear, The Bear. All black and brown and covered in hair. Well, not quite but The Bear is here in the UK at last nonetheless, landing this week on Disney+, and it was definitely worth the wait. We also head out on a murderous cruise (with murderous ducks) in BBC3's Wreck, and go on the hunt for Neo Nazis with Stephen Graham in ITV's The Walk-In. All this and more dreadfully entitled ramblings as Boyd and James bicker about the mechanics of advance screener codenames. They're both dreadful. | |||

Yes, you read that right, the legend himself Mr Jeff Bridges is on the show this week to discuss everything from killing a man with his bare hands to pulling off a successful barre chord.

On this week's show we're investigating a cold case with Detective Karen Pirie in ITV's show of the same name, and creator Emer Kenny stops by the show to tell us all about it. Meanwhile, we discover the year's most stressful new series when Keeley Hawes gets caught up in a holiday resort terrorist attack in BBC1's Crossfire, and we follow Diane Morgan as she steps back into the skin of Philomena Cunk in rockumentary series Cunk On Earth on BBC2. All that and we also find the time to chat all things Emmys #justiceforsaulgoodman | |||

Morfydd Clark, who plays the legendary Galadriel in Amazon's The Lord Of The Rings prequel, The Rings of Power, joins us to talk all things elf-related, and Trevante Rhodes, Russell Hornsby and Laura Harrier also pop by to talk about their respective roles in Mike Tyson bio-series Mike on Disney+. As well as those, we also see Jon Bernthal do his best Richard Gere in Paramount+'s adaptation of classic eighties movie American Gigolo and leave it up to you to decide whether a certain video of James singing karaoke ever sees the light of day. #releasethedyercut | |||
| #201 The Capture, Ridley, and The Suspect | 28 Aug 2022 | 01:28:45 | |
James is away for this week's episode, taking a well-earned break after the live 200th show (which may have nearly killed him!). However, fear not because Boyd, Beth and Kay are holding down the fort and exploring the reach of Big Brother (no, not that one) in BBC1's The Capture, cracking a murder with Ted Hastings (sort of) in Ridley on ITV, and seeing if there's foul play afoot beneath Aidan Turner's (magnificent) beard in The Suspect, also on ITV. | |||
| #200 (LIVE) House Of The Dragon, She-Hulk, and See. With Guests Matt Berry, Corin Hardy, and Orli Shuka | 21 Aug 2022 | 02:50:03 | |

We kick off with Corin Hardy and Orli Shuka talking us through an explosive action clip from Gangs of London series 2, followed by a chat with Matt Berry, who joined us to celebrate ten years of Toast Of London. Plus we got into Game Of Thrones prequel House Of The Dragon on Sky, and bickered about She-Hulk on Disney+. And of course James couldn't let this milestone event go past without crowbarring the final season of See into the mix as well. There was chaos, there was carnage, there were audience questions, and returning Pilot legend Terri White was on hand to call James a bellend. What more could you possibly ask? | |||

| #195 Better Call Saul, Witness No. 3, and Trying | 17 Jul 2022 | 01:20:35 | |
This week we not only dissect the nominations for this year's EMMYs, but James reveals the extent to which Covid (which, in the mother of all ironies, laid him out immediately after recording last week's show) has allowed him to put a dent in his mammoth watch-list, specifically around a certain Breaking Bad prequel. And speaking of which, in a cryptic review that plays out almost entirely in code, Beth and Boyd review Better Call Saul's home stretch while protecting James' delicate ears from any hint of spoilers. And we watch Witness No. 3 on Ch5 and cry (and laugh, but mainly cry) our way through season 3 of Trying on Apple TV+. | |||

Plus the team take sides on whether they're #TeamMaggie or #TeamBirdy in Everything I Know About Love, Beth and Boyd go into raptures about the Barry finale and we review ALL the shows. Why?

Plus, Chris sits down with two of the stars of the show, Maisie Williams and Thomas Brodie-Sangster, and asks one of them about nicking Andy Serkis' arancini at the Empire Awards. It doesn't get much more punk than that. Never mind the you-know-what, here's [Empire and Pilot talking about] the Sex Pistols. | |||

Not only do we have both Karl Urban and Jensen Ackles on this week’s show to talk about the new season of The Boys, but Empire’s Helen O’Hara makes her Pilot TV debut, finally getting the chance to lay her hands on one of the stars of Supernatural (figuratively speaking). Then, we nearly fail to get Obi-Wan Kenobi on the show but, thanks to some post-production tomfoolery, we were able to do a last minute drop-in to cover off all things Star Wars, and that was in addition to Danny Boyle’s Sex Pistols biopic, Pistol and sci-fi adaptation The Midwich Cuckoos on Sky. All that and Beth (for she has returned) Boyd and James mull over some of the best shows that have filmed in their respective home towns. | |||
| #187 Stranger Things, The Flight Attendant, and Big Boys. With guest Indira Varma | 23 May 2022 | 01:47:01 | |

Plus we return to Hawkins for Stranger Things' fourth season on Netflix, see Kaley Cuoco return in season 2 of The Flight Attendant and head off to university with that wee English fella in Big Boys on Channel 4.

We're awash with both guests and shows this week, with Sienna Miller and Rupert Friend joining us to talk all things Anatomy Of A Scandal, and Sarah Solemani sitting down for a very frank and interesting conversation about #MeToo, that Oscars slap, and her new Channel 4 Show Chivalry (all from the comfort of her 'fascist shed').
Meanwhile, we line-up a veritable marathon of new shows for review, including the aforementioned Chivalry, timeloop BBC2 drama Life After Life, the second season of Netflix's Russian doll, Starzplay's Watergate drama Gaslit (with Julia Roberts), and teen romance Heartstopper on Netflix.

| #178 Peacemaker, Pachinko, and Bridgerton | 21 Mar 2022 | 01:22:49 | |
James has lost his voice this week, which makes for a particularly absurd episode in which he goes full Baron Greenback and croaks his way through the entire show. And what a show it is, because not only does Netflix's raunchy Regency show, Bridgerton, return for series 2, but Apple's generation-spanning Pachinko makes its debut, and Peacemaker *finally* lands on Sky after a torturous three-month wait. All that and the team talk through shows they loved but refuse to revisit and the lost joy of internet forums. | |||

All that and the team talk through the things they most would (or wouldn't) want to see adapted, some of their other TV podcast picks and Boyd outlines the plot for the twelve-part miniseries of James' life. | |||
| #175 The Dropout, Killing Eve, and Shining Vale. With guest Joe Dempsie | 28 Feb 2022 | 01:45:50 | |
This week's episode sees Joe Dempsie join us to talk all about his new show, Pieces Of Her on Netflix, as well as reflecting on sex scenes, intimacy and the pervading influence of Skins. Other than that, though, we have a particularly shambolic episode in which James, having come straight from an overnight flight with zero sleep and spectacularly failed to prepare, does his level best to derail the whole endeavour. But that doesn't stop us trying to reunite with Villanelle in the final series of Killing Eve on BBC1, watch Amanda Seyfried undermine the health system in The Dropout on Disney+, and chase demons with Courteney Cox in Shining Vale on Starzplay. All that and the team line-up their desert island streaming shows, Boyd and Beth have their weekly Euphoria rant, one of Boyd's famous friends calls mid-recording, and James falls asleep while Beth is talking. | |||
| #174 Peaky Blinders, Vikings: Valhalla, and Wolf Like Me. With guest Steven Knight | 22 Feb 2022 | 01:56:22 | |
We're a day late this week, by order of the Peaky Blinders (or more specifically the BBC's review embargo), but it's all good because Peaky creator Steven Knight drops by the show to talk about the show's final season and allow James to bend his ear about the joys of See. Plus we're mixing love and lycanthropy with Wolf Like Me on Prime Video and getting our Norse back on in Netflix's Vikings: Valhalla (where Boyd unveils his extraordinary Norse accent). All that and we give a loving (and belated) eulogy for Neighbours and officially rank our favourite Netflix originals. | |||
| #173 Severance, Bel-Air, and One Of Us Is Lying | 14 Feb 2022 | 01:20:08 | |
It's a particularly anarchic show this week as chronology gets thrown entirely out of the window and sections collide, possibly as a result of too much Valentine's Day chocolate - who can really say? Still, we have a giggle looking at the most romantic shows every to grace our screens (Beth has absolutely no time for it), plus engage in an impromptu post mortem of The Book Of Boba Fett. All that and we take a look at Apple's Severance, Sky's Fresh Prince reconceptualisation, Bel-Air, and Netflix's teen detention murder mystery One Of Us Is Lying. | |||
| #172 This Is Going To Hurt, Suspicion, No Return, and Starstruck. With guest Adam Kay | 07 Feb 2022 | 01:56:02 | |
Adam Kay, author of bestselling medical memoir This Is Going To Hurt, joins us on the show this week as we look at the BBC adaptation of his work, starring Ben Whishaw as the man in the white coat. Plus we're investigating the kidnapping of Uma Thurman's son in Apple's Suspicion, getting stuck in a Turkish jail in No Return on ITV, and catching up with Rose Matafeo's celebrity shenanigans in the return of Starstruck on BBC2. Not only that but we take a long, hard (steady) look at the rapidly escalating penis count on our screens, list the TV characters we'd happily kill with fire, and get a much-needed update on the status of Risky the cat's drinking fountain. | |||
| #287 Insomnia, Trying, and Bay Of Fires. With guests Rafe Spall and Esther Smith | 20 May 2024 | 01:42:36 | |
Trying returns to Apple this week and not only are we reviewing it but Rafe Spall and Esther Smith are with us on the show to talk all about it. Plus we’re up all night with Vicky McClure in Paramount+’s adaptation of Sarah Pinborough novel Insomnia, and ITV gives us a dose of witness protection Tasmania style in Bay Of Fires. Elsewhere we unpick the recent TV BAFTAs and have a little fun with Spotify’s AI chapter headings. | |||
| #171 Reacher, Pam & Tommy, and Chloe. With guests Tiffany Haddish and Mackenzie Davis | 01 Feb 2022 | 01:50:03 | |
If this week got off to a bumpy start for you, there can be no better medication than a prescription of Beth's raucous interview with Tiffany Haddish on this week's show, as the pair get surprisingly frank about the things they'd like to do to Jamie Demetriou (00:18:37-00:32:07). And not content with that, Beth also sat down with Mackenzie Davis to talk all things Station 11 and get tips on the finer points of knife-throwing (00:58:05-01:10:52).
But that's not all, because we take a trip with man-mountain Jack Reacher in Prime Video's adaptation of the Lee Child novel series, Reacher, explore the origins of the world's most famous sex tape in Pam & Tommy on Star, and take up a sideline in cyberstalking thanks to Chloe on BBC1. Plus the team mull over their must-watch and must-skip title sequences and Beth explains why Risky, the world's most middle-class cat, has just acquired a drinking fountain. | |||
| #170 Station Eleven, The Gilded Age, The Responder, The Afterparty, and The Sinner. With guests Stanley Tucci and Carrie Coon | 24 Jan 2022 | 01:53:04 | |
Stanley Tucci and Carrie Coon are our guests on this week's show, talking to us about La Fortuna (23:00-32:51) and The Gilded Age (53:06-1:02:37), respectively. Plus we have a stupidly long lineup of shows to review, including Starzplay's post-apocalyptic drama, Station Eleven; Julian Fellowes' Downton-in-America drama, The Gilded Age; Apple's whodunnit comedy, The Afterparty; Martin Freeman's gritty BBC police drama, The Responder; and the long-awaited arrival of The Sinner Season 4 on Netflix.
All of which was more than enough to keep James, Beth and Boyd glued to screens through most of last week. However, paying no heed to minor inconveniences like the laws of time and space, Boyd still found time to devour Archive 81 and bring us a full update, James gave The Tourist another go, and the team hoovered up the Yellowjackets finale (no spoilers) as well. | |||
| #169 Trigger Point, Queens, and La Fortuna. With guests Ricky Gervais, Tony Way, and Nell Tiger Free | 17 Jan 2022 | 02:09:52 | |
Ricky Gervais joins us on this week's show to discuss the finer points of blowing belly raspberries with Tony Way in After Life, plus Nell Tiger Free stops by to dispense childcare advice in the third season of Apple's Servant, where she and Boyd get into such varied topics as incest and the finer points of moth taming.
In addition (and we apologise in advance) James finishes his rewatch of The Expanse just in time to watch the finale live, and proceeds to bang on about why it's amazing for what we can only hope is the last time (so sorry). Plus the team reviews bomb disposal thriller Trigger Point on ITV, comeback show Queens on Star, and Stanley Tucci's treasure-hunting adventure, La Fortuna, on AMC UK.
NOTE: Ricky and Tony's After Life interview is, unusually, a spoiler interview and goes deep on lots of the third season's plot points, including the finale. If you've not seen it then you might want to do so first, or you can skip the interview entirely to preserve its secrets by avoiding 29:22-1:00:00. | |||
