Pilot TV Podcast: Outlander, Platonic, And Ridley Ft. Adrian Dunbar And Paul Wesley

This week's episode of the Pilot TV podcast is an international affair as James Dyer dials in from Phuket, Thailand to host alongside London HQ co-pilots Kay Ribeiro and Boyd Hilton. Together, the trio welcome a double-whammy of top-notch guests to the pod: first up, Boydy has a natter with Adrian Dunbar about his return as retired detective Alex Ridley in the second series of ITV's aptly named Ridley [12:35 — 33:33 approx.]; and then James hops on Zoom with Paul Wesley to talk all about the former The Vampire Diaries star's return to the final frontier in the latest season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. [1:01:00 — 1:26:45 approx.]

Back in the pod booth, the gang convene for another busy episode in which they answer a listener question that actually turns into an impromptu, inaugural edition of Pilot TV Does Agony Aunt; get stuck into this week's TV news, including Nicola Coughlan's casting in the latest I Am... one-off drama, trailers for Star Trek series Starfleet Academy and Vince Gilligan's Pluribus, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon's renewal; and review ITV's Ridley, Platonic Season 2 on Apple TV+, and Prime Video's latest Outlander off-shoot Blood Of My Blood. What more could you want?
