This week on the Pilot TV Podcast we're getting ready to engage our inner mob boss and dive into the murky underworld of the Big Smoke with a very special guest. Yes, that's right, Gangs Of London star Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù is our guest on this week’s show as we suit up for another instalment of bloody murder on the streets of the capital in Season 3, and so we sent Jordan King to get the lowdown on mob mentality, gangster playlists, and the mechanics of vice-based catharsis from Ṣọpẹ́. [33:20 — 52:20 approx.]

Back in the podbooth, James Dyer, Boyd Hilton, and Kay Ribeiro convene for another cracking episode in which this week's listener question has the team talking, well, talking — as in, considering the best/worst cases of actors doing accents. Then, over on the news front, the gang discuss the P&O 'Best Moment' BAFTA category and the rest of the nominations shortlist, some exciting Shrinking Season 3 casting news, some also exciting news about Andor being put on YouTube, and the trailers for You Season 5 and Poker Face Season 2 among other things. And as if that wasn't enough podding greatness, in reviews this week we’re testing the boundaries of paternal relations in Happy Face on Paramount+, in which Annaleigh Ashford stars as the daughter of Dennis Quaid’s serial killer, and going on the lam with Siobhan Finneran in protective custody thriller Protection on ITV.

All that, and plenty more TV chat, await on this week's episode — which you can watch below;
