December 24, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 66.3 MBThere'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...
#15 - Watership Down, The Long Song, Agatha And The Truth Of Murder
December 17, 2018 10:13 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBDead 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.
#14 - Castle Rock, The Good Place and The Innocent Man
December 10, 2018 09:00 - 50 minutes - 46.5 MBThis 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...
#13 - Fortitude, Performance Live: LOVE and The Marvellous Mrs Maisel
December 03, 2018 09:13 - 51 minutes - 46.8 MBThree 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.
#12 - Death & Nightingales, Mrs. Wilson and Kidding
November 26, 2018 06:00 - 47 minutes - 43.3 MBThis 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 ...
#11 - The Last Kingdom, My Brilliant Friend and Blood
November 19, 2018 06:00 - 40 minutes - 37 MBIt'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 brie...
#10 - Origin, Narcos: Mexico and The Kominsky Method
November 12, 2018 12:20 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBActing 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.
#9 - The Sinner, Beat and Louis Theroux's Altered States
November 05, 2018 06:00 - 57 minutes - 52.7 MBThis 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 ...
#8 - Homecoming, The First, House Of Cards and Ray Donovan
October 29, 2018 07:00 - 48 minutes - 44.5 MBThis 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".
#7 - Sally4Ever, The Little Drummer Girl and Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina
October 22, 2018 15:40 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MBThis 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 sh...
#6 - Informer, Butterfly and Daredevil
October 15, 2018 08:16 - 42 minutes - 38.9 MBThis 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.
#5 - The Walking Dead, The Bisexual and The Haunting Of Hill House
October 08, 2018 10:18 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBThis 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 th...
#4 - The Good Place, Elite and The Man In The High Castle
October 01, 2018 09:50 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBDoctor 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.

#3 - Doctor Who, American Horror Story and Bodyguard
September 25, 2018 14:42 - 33 minutes - 31 MBOn 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...
#2 - Killing Eve, Maniac and Mystery Road
September 17, 2018 16:01 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MBThe 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 Wes...
#1 - Live Special - Strangers, Black Earth Rising and A Discovery Of Witches
September 10, 2018 09:45 - 29 minutes - 26.6 MBRecorded 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 ...
