This week's Pilot TV Podcast sees our very own James Dyer leaving the podbooth and heading underground as he visits the set of Apple TV+'s newly confirmed Silo Seasons 3 and 4. On his travels, James sits down for a chinwag with both Rebecca Ferguson and the big Apple himself, Tim Cook [27:24 36:35 approx]. Never one to miss a chance to wax lyrical about Foundation, James cornered the Apple CEO to discuss the streamer’s penchant for brilliant nerdy sci-fi. Then, James heads out of the dystopian future and into the crime-ridden present as he speaks to The Ink Black Heart star Holliday Grainger about her return in the latest instalment of BBC's Strike saga [1:01:51 — 1:20:03 approx].
Elsewhere, in a genuine stroke of coincidence rather than nefarious corporate synergy/shilling, this week's listener question has the team — James, Kay Ribeiro, and Boyd Hilton — discussing which streaming service has had the best 2024. Over on the news front, the gang get stuck into a packed week in the world of TV, discussing the Golden Globes 2025 nominations, new Wheel Of Time casting announcements, the Friday Night Lights reboot, a big Henry Cavill Warhammer series update, and Sarah Jessica Parker. And, capping off Episode 317, we review BBC1’s aforementioned latest Strike instalment, The Ink Black Heart, plus we catch up with Kaley Cuoco’s serial killer podcast in the second season of Based On A True Story on Sky.
