A double-guest episode awaits on the Pilot TV Podcast this week, folks. First up, as Lennie James prepares to take on a decades-spanning role in Mr Loverman (don't say it don't say it don't say it— SHABA!) on BBC1, playing a septuagenarian finally coming out of the closet, we sent our very own Mr TV Loverman Boyd Hilton to chat with Lennie all about his latest role [21:29 — 40:44 approx]. Then, with the arrival of eighties-set bonkbuster Rivals on Disney+ this week, our very own Kay Ribeiro gets, er, under the covers with star Aidan Turner to talk all about playing a family man, growing a massive 'tache, and much more besides [1:05:40 — 1:23:50 approx].
Elsewhere, back in the pod booth James, Kay, and Boyd tackle a listener question on the most random surprise cameos in their favourite shows and catch up on what they've been watching this week — including Industry S3, Nobody Wants This, and several heavily embargoed Apple TV shows (*cough* Silo S2 *cough*). Then, on the news front, the team discuss Netflix's latest glut of show cancellations, the latest Lanterns casting announcement, and Reacher's Season 4 renewal amongst other things. Plus, alongside Rivals and Mr. Loverman reviews, the team also find time to take a look at The Devil’s Hour Season 2 on Prime Video, which proves a delightful surprise to James and manages to utterly destroy Kay. Listen and find out why.
