Debates about correct podcasting nomenclature and the legality/legitimacy of reviews aside, we've another doozy of an episode of the Pilot TV Podcast in store for you this week, folks. For starters, Aldis Hodge and Ben Watkins, the star and showrunner of Prime Video crime thriller Cross, sat down with Jordan King to talk about how they've put a fresh new spin on James Patterson's Alex Cross series [22:16 — 38:36 approx]. Then, Boyd Hilton is all ears as he talks to Rebecca Hall about her new BBC1 show The Listeners, in which she plays a teacher tormented by a humming noise that she just can't seem to shake off [50:14 — 1:07:32 approx].
Back in the podbooth, James Dyer, Kay Ribeiro, and Boyd get stuck into a listener's question which has the team dream casting a young Slough House crew for Slow Horses fan Ella; tackle whispers of another new Game Of Thrones spin-off, The White Lotus and Euphoria updates, Lady Gaga's Wednesday casting, and, er, Gary Lineker leaving Match Of The Day in the news section; and, in a triple threat reviews round-up, tune in to the aforementioned The Listeners, spice up their lives with Dune: Prophecy on Sky Atlantic, and discover whether Michael Schur and Ted Danson’s new comedy, A Man On The Inside, can hold a candle to The Good Place. All that, plus your usual 'What We've Been Watching' chatter, bickering and back-and-forth, and general TV talk. What more could you possibly want?
