Pilot TV

On this week’s show we have a trio of guests as Sharon Horgan joins us to talk Youth on HBO Max (28:01-35:17), while Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan chat all things Mobland on Paramount+ (52:22-1:04:14). Elsewhere, we talk through the winners of this year’s Primetime Emmys, Steph reminisces about Mr T, James looks back at Deep Space Nine and there are many disagreements about this week’s reviews. Speaking of which, they are the aforementioned Youth (1:04:14), The Blame on ITV (1:17:33), and The Split UP on BBC1 (1:31:17).

We have a guest double show this week as not only does Boyd chat weith Sanjeev Bhaskar about The Split Up (1:09:19-1:25:55), but Patrick Brammall joins us in the studio to chat Lat Seen (and, let’s be honest, Colin From Accounts) (26:24-51:12). There were tears. Plus, we head back to the seventies with Jon Hamm for American Hostage (1:25:55), see if Netflix can steal Prime’s YA crown with teen show Crew Girl (1:43:29), and find out what’s going down at Slough House with the latest season of Slow Horses (1:33:31).

In this week’s podcast we discover precisely why Steph is playing the new Harry Potter (and why you should never visit the zoo during a heatwave), we take a trip back to the ‘90s in search of reboot fodder, plus Boyd launches into an extended discussion of Bond themes (which apparently ties back in to TV somehow). Plus, we feast our eyes on the final series of Colin From Accounts (1:31:01), and head back to the Lords for the second season of Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen (1:46:54), not to mention welcoming two members of the SNL crew to the show (1:01:05-1:14:30).

We’re off to the Arctic circle this week with the return of Rose Leslie and Suranne Jones’ investigative thriller Vigil on BBC1 (40:00), putting the ‘boom’ back in ITV with the return of VIcky McClure’s Trigger Point (48:07), and getting our Grisham on in the arrival of The Rainmaker, also on ITV (56:38). Plus the team delve into the nepo baby phenomenon, Boyd prepares to head up to Edinburgh to hang out with the stars, and we do our level best to remain professional while beaming into the pod from the comfort of our various homes.

We’re back into the multiverse on this week’s Pilot+ as we delve into the second season of Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter on Apple TV+. And assuming that it is indeed the ‘real James, Boyd and Kay, the team also break open the postbag to tackle a series of compliments AND complaints — the postbag giveth, and the postbag taketh away.
