#37 - Good Omens, When They See Us, and Black Monday
26 mei 2019 · 1 uur 8 min
Reviewed this week: harrowing drama from Netflix in When They See Us, absurd intellectual comedy from Amazon in Good Omens and capitalist woes on Wall Street in Sky's Black Monday. Some shout-outs for Marcella and Red Riding, as well as a show we can't remember the name of. Plus you'll hear what it means to watch a show 'on tick' and learn far more about Terri's lunch order than you ever really needed to. Lees meer

#36 - What/If, Summer Of Rockets, Riviera, And The Game Of Thrones Finale. Featuring Jared Harris.
20 mei 2019 · 2 uur 8 min
We have a dragon-sized episode for you this week (hope you didn't have plans today) as we say our final farewell to Game Of Thrones with a monster discussion of the show's finale (if you haven't seen it then for the love of R'hllor avoid everything between 1:19:11 and 2:07:05). In addition to our final Thronesplaining we welcome Jared Harris to the podcast for some Chernobyl chat (30:48 to 50:43) and turn our critical gaze upon Netflix's What/If, the BBC's Summer Of Rocket's and Sky's Riviera Season 2.

#35 - The Virtues, Years And Years, Gentleman Jack, and What We Do In The Shadows. Featuring Russell T. Davies.
13 mei 2019 · 1 uur 40 min
It's all go this week as we marvel at Shane Meadows' The Virtues, delight in Russell T Davies' Year's And Years, delight in Sally Wainwright's Gentleman Jack and chuckle through Jemaine Clement's What We Do In The Shadows. *Plus* Russell T. Davies himself pops by with some friends for a chat (16:50 to 35:22). *And* the Thronesplaining reaches fever pitch as we bathe in the flames of the show's penultimate episode, The Bells (if you haven't seen it, then skip everything from 1:05:47 to 1:39:29).

Line Of Duty Series 5 Spoiler Special
7 mei 2019 · 1 uur 21 min
Right you are, fella. Sunday saw the last episode of Line Of Duty's fifth series and we couldn't let such a monumental event pass uncommented. And so, with our best Hastings hats on, we dropped into the interrogation room to drag the final episodes over the coals and investigate the evidence. We even served a Reg 15 to series creator Jed Mercurio to hear about his storytelling process as well. Lees meer

#34 - Chernobyl, Deep State, and The Society
7 mei 2019 · 1 uur 49 min
Everything's in meltdown this week as we immerse ourselves in Sky Atlantic's gruellingly excellent Chernobyl, delve into the Deep State for Season 2 of Fox's espionage thriller, and do away with all the adults in Netflix's The Society. Plus we get into a big old fight about the fourth episode of Game Of Thrones, which once again gets the Thronesplaining spoiler treatment at the end of the episode. Not seen it? Then skip everything between 01:12:02 and 01:47:56. Lees meer

#33 - The Spanish Princess, Knock Down The House, and Game Of Thrones (again)
29 april 2019 · 1 uur 42 min
It's wall-to-wall politics this week as we tackle the Tudors in The Spanish Princess and worship at the altar of AOC in Knock Down The House. Plus we manage some spoiler-free chat about the latest Line Of Duty and some massively spoiler-heavy dissection of Game of Thrones. If you'd rather avoid our breakdown of GoT Episode 3: The Long Night because you haven't seen it - or the thought of us banging on about it for a full 30 minutes makes you want to join the Night's Watch - then feel free to skip everything between 01:07:14 and 01:40:15.

#32 - Chambers, The Looming Tower, and Jamestown
23 april 2019 · 1 uur 50 min
We have some post-Easter horror for you this week, thanks to Netflix's excellent new haunted heart thriller, Chambers, some pre-millennial spycraft thanks to The Looming Tower on BBC2, plus we fail to watch Jamestown entirely and have to rely on Boyd to explain it all. All that and another bumper dragoncast, getting deep into the Godswood for episode 2 of Game Of Thrones' final season. If you're still trying to avoid Westerosi spoilers for that particular episode then don't worry, it's clearly signposted and at the very end of the show between 01:19:50 and 01:49:50. Apologies for the runtime - we got a bit carried away! Lees meer

#31 - Game Of Thrones, Chimerica, and Back To Life
15 april 2019 · 1 uur
Podcast is coming! That's right, the final season of Game Of Thrones landed this week and, like the Night King himself, we tore down The Wall and stormed forth to tackle it. In keeping with this theme, Terri seized control of the Seven Kingdoms, taking advantage of James' absence to install herself upon the Iron Throne as Queen Terri, Mother of podcasts, breaker of science-fiction and ruler of true crime documentaries. Despite this, We found time to dive into bleak BBC comedy Back To Life (don't call it the new Fleabag!) and Channel 4's culture-mashing four-part miniseries Chimerica. Plus a few tantalising breaking news tidbits and we make the bold choice to continue trying to make James laugh, even in his absence.
NOTE: If you've not yet had a chance to watch the Game Of Thrones season opener then don't worry, you can still listen to the podcast as we've saved all the dragon chat for the end of the reviews section. Just skip everything between 41:38 and 51:37 and you'll be fine. Lees meer -
The OA Season 2 Spoiler Special
12 april 2019 · 1 uur 37 min
In this special episode of the podcast we delve deep into the plot developments of The OA's incredible second season, speaking to creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, who throw caution the wind and open up about everything from the Tree Internet and Old Night to the house on Nob Hill and those sex-powered dancing robots. WARNING: spoilers abound throughout so only listen once you've watched all of Season 2. Lees meer

#30 - The Widow, The Victim, And Don't Forget The Driver. Featuring Aidan Gillen
8 april 2019 · 1 uur 16 min
This week we get definitive with the definite article for The Widow (Kate Beckinsale) and The Victim (Kelly MacDonald), then go full Brexit with Toby Jones in Don't Forget The Driver. All that and Boyd still finds time to sit down and chat UFOs (and Queer As Folk) with Aidan Gillen, plus we wax lyrical about both the Fleabag finale and Line Of Duty's unswerving commitment to impenetrable acronyms. Lees meer

#29 - Veep, Barry, and The Case Against Adnan Syed. Featuring Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman
1 april 2019 · 1 uur 32 min
Hanna and The Killing stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman stop by the podcast for a chat this week. Meanwhile, Veep returns to our screens this week for its seventh and final season, and we delve into the world of true crime for HBO's Serial follow-up, The Case Against Adnan Syed. To help us recover, Bill Hader's hitman comedy Barry is also back, bringing with it all the NoHo Hank our hearts could desire. All that and we still find time to discuss the humorous merits of The Thick Of It, and cast our minds back to the days of Party Of Five, Aquarius and Dead Like Me. Lees meer

#28 - Line Of Duty, Dead Pixels, The Good Fight and Hanna. Featuring Vicky McClure & Martin Compston
24 maart 2019 · 1 uur 40 min
Line Of Duty is back! And to celebrate, we invited stars Vicky McClure and Martin Compston onto the pod to tell us what's going down at AC-12 this series. As well as reviewing the show, we go full MMORPG for E4's Dead Pixels, welcome surrealist legal show The Good Fight back to our screens and check out Amazon Prime's espionage drama Hanna. All that and more on an episode that's at least 90% more anarchic than usual as Terri seemed determined to make up for her absence last week by being a complete lunatic (her Martin Brennan impression has to be heard to be believed). Oh and James goes full Farscape - you have been warned. Lees meer
-
#27 - The OA, Billions, Victoria and Pose
18 maart 2019 · 1 uur 13 min
In a surprising twist this week, Terri has been transmogrified into a middle-aged man as we traverse dimensions to discuss The OA Season 2, Cash-in for Billions Season 4 and lay out our best china for the third series of Victoria. Not to mention finally getting our hands on Ryan Murphy's Pose and hearing all about The Cops AKA Britain's answer to The Shield. Lees meer
-
#26 - American Gods, Turn Up Charlie and Love, Death And Robots
11 maart 2019 · 58 min
This week we've been subjected to a torrent of animated shorts thanks to David Fincher's Love, Death And Robots, plus we got a chance to spin up the decks for Idris Elba's new DJ/nannying comedy Turn Up Charlie. Last but by no means least we witness Bryan Fuller's American Gods return for its belated second season, except without Bryan Fuller or, sadly, any of its original charm. All that plus a bunch of must-see classic show recommendations and an outraged diatribe from Terri about the latest Louis Theroux documentary (you might want to be sitting down for that one). Lees meer
-
#25 - After Life, Derry Girls, Home, Leaving Neverland and MotherFatherSon
4 maart 2019 · 59 min
So many shows, so little time. We have an unprecedented *five* new shows to rundown for you this week, including the triumphant return of Derry Girls. Joining Lisa McGee's outstanding comedy is Ricky Gervais' After Life and Rufus Jones' Home, not to mention the decidedly non-comedic Leaving Neverland and MotherFatherSon. Plus all the usual nonsense, including a re-examining of Community and some retro love for Sharon Horgan's Pulling, Chris O'Dowd's Moone Boy and gone-too-soon police drama Southland. Lees meer
-
#24 - Fleabag, This Time With Alan Partridge and The Miracle
25 februari 2019 · 1 uur 2 min
This week we have a double bill of BBC comedy gold as Fleabag and Alan Partridge go head-to-head for our amusement. To balance the unfettered mirth, though, we also dive in to Sky Italia's The Miracle, which is not only in Italian but officially featured the most unpleasant masturbation scene we've seen in a good long while. All that and James finally hands in his badge and stops banging on about The Shield, but does find time to proselytise about Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom instead. Meanwhile Terri goes to the mat for Father Dowling Mysteries and Boyd bigs up Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Crashing. Lees meer
-
#23 - Traitors, Flack and Curfew
17 februari 2019 · 1 uur 5 min
This week we enter the world of treason and espionage for Channel 4's WWII spy thriller Traitors, join Anna Paquin as she heads to the front lines in a very different kind of war as a celebrity publicist in Flack, plus Curfew sees Sean Bean do The Fast And The Furious in London... with zombies. All that and we come up with a new regular (involving James and comedies), lay some love upon Band Of Gold and Family Tree, plus resurrect Jack Thorne's supernatural drama The Fades. Lees meer
-
#22 - The Umbrella Academy, Dirty John and Lorena
11 februari 2019 · 1 uur
We have a Valentine's double bill this week to get you all in the mood for love. There's much knob-lopping talk as we delve into the world of Lorena and John Wayne Bobbitt for Amazon's documentary series about the famous dismemberment. And if that hasn't done the trick, we also fire up online dating horror story Dirty John, based on the LA Times true crime podcast about a woman who ends up entangled with a dissembling sociopath. Meanwhile, Boyd and Terri fail to fall in love with The Umbrella Academy and James takes a knee in honour of Friday Night Lights. Lees meer
-
#21 - Surviving R. Kelly, New Amsterdam and Das Boot
4 februari 2019 · 56 min
This week we're delving into the world of dark and sordid documentaries in Surviving R Kelly, getting down with the Deutsch for the sequel to Wolfgang Peterson's 1981 film Das Boot, and going Dutch with soapy hospital drama New Amsterdam. But none of that matters because the first three seasons of The Expanse are landing on Amazon Prime, which Boyd and Terri hear about in forensic detail - much to their eternal delight. Lees meer
-
#20 - Nightflyers, Pure, Russian Doll, Camping and Mayans M.C.
28 januari 2019 · 1 uur 10 min
We have a bumper crop of reviews this week, with no less than *five* shows under the magnifying glass. George R.R. Martin's Nightflyers takes us into deep space, Camping shows us the great outdoors, Pure fills our heads with sordid sexual fantasies, Mayans M.C. brings the motorbikes and Russian Doll takes us through it all over and over again. We also give a little love to The Unit and Cold Case, Boyd discovers something called Future Man, plus Terri and Boyd wax lyrical about the Fyre Festival documentary, which James still refuses to watch. Lees meer
-
#19 - Stephen Dorff, Star Trek: Discovery, Medici and Tin Star
21 januari 2019 · 1 uur 9 min
This week we have our very first guest as Stephen Dorff stops by the pod booth to talk about the new season of True Detective. We also delve deep into the violent world of Sky's Tin Star, take a trip to 15th century Florence for Medici The Magnificent and set phasers to *fun* for the new Season of Star Trek: Discovery, which we're delighted to say we've now seen. Listen now to hear how Terri's very first Star Trek experience unfolded (it didn't go the way you might expect). Lees meer
-
#18 - True Detective, The Punisher and The Passage
14 januari 2019 · 55 min
This week James is sulking as we weren't able to see Star Trek Discovery in time for the podcast. On the plus side, it does give us the opportunity to bust out some Klingon swear words and we *were* able to watch a trio of excellent other shows to make up for it. Namely, the third season of True Detective (all is forgiven), the second season of The Punisher (gone too soon) and the first season of The Passage, based on the book of the same name, which gets Jamesplained in excruciating detail. Plus Terri recommends a show that doesn't involve prison and we pick through the dumpster fire that was the Golden Globes. Lees meer
-
#17 - Catastrophe, Brexit, Sex Education and Charmed
7 januari 2019 · 1 uur 6 min
No fewer than *four* shows get the review treatment this week - partially making up for the appalling lack of post-Christmas news. Gorge yourselves on Netflix's Sex Education, the triumphant return of Catastrophe and the reboot of Charmed. Oh and we get all political with a look at Brexit: The Uncivil War - because that's a subject you don't hear enough about at the moment. Plus reminiscences about Christmas TV, an appraisal of Bandersnatch and a some love for Rome, Broad City and... er, Wentworth. Lees meer

Review Of The Year 2018
28 december 2018 · 1 uur 12 min
What kind of year has it been? We find out in the very first Pilot TV Podcast Special. Flicking through the last twelve months, we pick out the very best (and some of the worst) things to have graced our sets this year, pulling out all the memorable moments and going through Pilot's definitive top 10 shows of the year. Frankly, it's worth listening to for Terri's explanation of what a 'chufty badge' is alone. Lees meer

#16 - Luther, The ABC Murders, You and Doctor Who New Year's Special
24 december 2018 · 1 uur 12 min
There's a statue of Columbo in Budapest (it's true, look it up) so why isn't there one of John Luther in Hackney? Someone needs to sort that out because LOOFAH is back! On the new Pilot Pod we get into the long-awaited fifth series of Neil Cross' gritty crime show, catch up with a very different kind of detective in John Malkovich's Hercule Poirot via The ABC Murders, and track down Netflix's stalker thriller, You. Not to to mention getting a sneak preview of the Doctor Who New Year's Special. It's a Christmas miracle! Lees meer
-
#15 - Watership Down, The Long Song, Agatha And The Truth Of Murder
17 december 2018 · 41 min
Dead rabbits are order of the day on this week's Pilot TV podcast, with the Beeb's Watership Down getting the review treatment. Also in the line-up is colonial era Jamaican drama The Long Song and Channel 5's pseudo fictional Agatha & The Truth Of Murder which contains both Agatha (Christie) and murder but little in the way of actual truth. All this and a celebration of Hell On Wheels, Oz and Terri banging on about The Apprentice, which is entirely against Pilot T&Cs. Lees meer
-
#14 - Castle Rock, The Good Place and The Innocent Man
10 december 2018 · 51 min
This week we talk Christmas Specials (one of which Boyd is actually in, albeit doing unspeakable things with women's underwear), Golden Globes and Season 2 of American Gods. The team defuses some of the latest TV bombs to drop, including Stephen King chillfest Castle Rock, comedy-gold sitcom The Good Place and choc-full-of-murder doc The Innocent Man. Plus you get to hear what our Viking names would be, hear James Jamesplain The Picard Manoeuvre to Terri and discover why Jamie Dornan is now a massive fan of the podcast (Jamie mate, this one's for you).
PS. Apologies for the slightly mixed audio quality on this one - we basically recorded it in a broom cupboard. Lees meer -
#13 - Fortitude, Performance Live: LOVE and The Marvellous Mrs Maisel
3 december 2018 · 51 min
Three new shows: one unspeakably depressing, one unspeakably cold and one unspeakably funny. So all bases covered, then. We also celebrate some vintage titles from Banshee to The Good Wife via a documentary about drug addiction (thanks Terri). All that and we throw in some fun viking nomenclature to boot. Lees meer
-
#12 - Death & Nightingales, Mrs. Wilson and Kidding
26 november 2018 · 47 min
This week on the Pilot TV podcast we treat you to a wealth of pick 'n' mix metaphors, Sex And The City dissection and an inexplicable analogy involving eighties Lenny Henry incarnation Delbert Wilkins (Sponditious!). We also take on some Irish period drama with Jamie Dornan in Death & Nightingales (no nightingales were actually harmed), hear all about Ruth Wilson's nan in Mrs. Wilson (yes, really) and catch up with Eternal Sunshine's Michel Gondry and Jim Carrey for Kidding. Plus we read out some of the more colourful comments from our iTunes reviews page and discover why James has the enunciation of a Disney villain. Lees meer
-
#11 - The Last Kingdom, My Brilliant Friend and Blood
19 november 2018 · 40 min
It's Vikings a-go-go on the podcast this week, by which we mean The Last Kingdom has returned to our screens, bringing its Norse shenanigans to Netflix for the first time. And if Netflix is getting Scandinavian, HBO is going Italian thanks to its first foreign language drama, My Brilliant Friend. Meanwhile Channel 5 has created an original drama and... it's actually really good. Who'd have thought? All this and the latest discussion of The Mandalorian, Game Of Thrones' arrival date and a brief interlude where we wax lyrical about the genius of David E. Kelley. Lees meer
-
#10 - Origin, Narcos: Mexico and The Kominsky Method
12 november 2018 · 49 min
Acting classes, space horror and mountains of cocaine are the subjects of this week's podcast, as we not only pick up the latest shows to hit your screens but also delve into a few suitably burning topics. We get philosophical about *that* episode of The Walking Dead (there are spoiler warnings beforehand, don't panic), embrace Michael Douglas' collaboration with sitcom god Chuck Lorre and discuss our pick of the worst series finales of all time. Lees meer
-
#9 - The Sinner, Beat and Louis Theroux's Altered States
5 november 2018 · 58 min
This week's podcast comes with a strongly worded content warning: we have finally that episode of Sally4Ever and discuss its sordid sexual content in quite forensic details. If you'd rather not have the show's debased delights spoiled then we clearly mark that section with a spoiler warning and you can skip the section between 2:30.30 and 11:37.52 for your own sanity. In equally sexy news, we spread the love around for Louis Theroux's new polyamory episode, jump into the second season of The Sinner and head on down to the Berlin clubbing scene for Amazon Prime's Beat. Lees meer
-
#8 - Homecoming, The First, House Of Cards and Ray Donovan
29 oktober 2018 · 49 min
This week's podcast sees a big old fight break out as Terri and Boyd get up in each other's faces with conflicting views and minor fisticuffs over both Sean Penn's Martian drama The First and Julia Roberts' Amazon Prime show Homecoming. We also get into the sixth seasons of both House Of Cards and Ray Donovan, not to mention uncovering the reasons why Terri won't date anyone under 5'10". Lees meer
-
#7 - Sally4Ever, The Little Drummer Girl and Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina
22 oktober 2018 · 56 min
This week the Pilot team dive into the awkward, explicit and downright hilarious sex montage that forms the high point of Julia Davis' Sally4Ever, we tap into our inner emo for Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina and get thoroughly Carré'd away with the BBC adaptation of The Little Drummer Girl. Plus we explore Terri's psyche to find out why rape dramas are her happy place, follow Boyd on a trip to the set of Stranger Things Season 3 and discuss the future of Marvel on Netflix after last week's shock cancellations. Lees meer
-
#6 - Informer, Butterfly and Daredevil
15 oktober 2018 · 42 min
This week the gloves come off as Terri and Boyd start throwing punches over ITV's Butterfly, meanwhile Marvel/Netflix manage to pick themselves off the mat after a string of disappointments with the much improved Daredevil Season 3. Not to mention news that Rob Lowe is joining the Lincolnshire constabulary and James demands the immediate return of all your televisions as apparently you're just not using them properly. Lees meer
-
#5 - The Walking Dead, The Bisexual and The Haunting Of Hill House
8 oktober 2018 · 59 min
This week Pilot TV's Terri White is swapped out for her Southern alter-ego Julia Raeside (the sceptical yin to Boyd's perma-sunny yang) as we dive deep into the latest announcements from Amazon (Wheel Of Time fans rejoice), dissect the possible meanings of the new Star Trek Discovery poster (Romulans, anyone?) and take a time out to recommend some long-lost shows that might have slipped your notice. All that plus reviews of Netflix's The Haunting Of Hill House, Channel 4's The Bisexual and the ninth Season of The Walking Dead (still dead, still walking). Lees meer
-
#4 - The Good Place, Elite and The Man In The High Castle
1 oktober 2018 · 50 min
Doctor Who is on our minds in this week's episode as the team presents our official review of the thirteenth doctor's debut as well as Netflix's Elite and the belated return of Amazon's The Man In The High Castle. We also pull back the curtain on some of the shows we're watching right now, talk about Marvel and DC's small screen war and bathe in the warm, heavenly glow of The Good Place. Lees meer
-
#3 - Doctor Who, American Horror Story and Bodyguard
25 september 2018 · 34 min
On this week's Pilot TV podcast we take an exclusive peek inside the TARDIS with an early look at the new series of Doctor Who, recount some of our favourite TV shows (hear all about Terri's penchant for misery porn and why James despises all things fun), plus we get apocalyptic with the new Season of American Horror Story. There's also the usual rundown of the latest TV news, as well as an in-depth, spoilerific debate about the Bodyguard finale (all plot spoilers are restricted to between 09:00 and 18:33, so if you haven't seen it yet then you might want to skip that bit). Lees meer
-
#2 - Killing Eve, Maniac and Mystery Road
17 september 2018 · 42 min
The second instalment of Pilot TV's podcast once again with our hosts banging on about Bodyguard as we get to grips with Sergeant Budd's latest escapades (minus spoilers, naturally). More coherently, however, we take a deep dive into the three best shows kicking off this week, which include the phenomenal Killing Eve (making its way to British shores at long last), Netflix's mega-trippy Maniac, and bonzer Australian drama Mystery Road. All that and the latest TV news, including the latest Westworld casting and why we're all going to die while watching The Walking Dead. Lees meer

#1 - Live Special - Strangers, Black Earth Rising and A Discovery Of Witches
10 september 2018 · 29 min
Recorded in front of a live audience because why the hell not, the first ever Pilot TV Podcast, tied in with the new cinematic TV magazine brand from the people who brought you Empire, is hosted by the mag's Editor in Chief Terri White, along with her trusty bald deputies James Dyer and Boyd Hilton. Together they discuss this week's Hot Topic - current BBC ratings smash Bodyguard, plus TV News on the imminent arrival of the hugely anticipated comedy thriller Killing Eve, from Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the trailer for the final season of House Of Cards, and TV sexiest ever drama, apparently, Wanderlust. We also review new ITV thriller Strangers starring John Simm, BBC2's wildly ambitious Black Earth Rising with the phenomenal Michaela Coel, and Sky One/NOW TV's big-budget fantasy series A Discovery Of Witches.
