Pilot TV Podcast: Unforgotten, Big Boys, And Amandaland

This week on the Pilot TV Podcast we've another trifecta of top notch telly offerings to dive into and review. Among the brilliant British shows we're covering on the latest episode of the pod are Chris Lang’s Unforgotten, which reunites Sanjeev Bhaskar's DI Sunny with his famous backpack as it enters its sixth series on ITV; then, over on Channel 4 Jack Rooke’s Big Boys gets a last hurrah as its third and final series finally reaches our screens; and finally, for the TV license fee payers among us, Lucy Punch starring Motherland spinoff Amandaland falls under our watchful eye as it makes its debut on BBC1 .

Elsewhere on this week's show, James Dyer, Boyd Hilton, and Kay Ribeiro start as they mean to go on — by getting sidetracked with pick'n'mix open bar discussions and The Traitors finale chat, the latter of which incurs the return of the Reality Check siren (or at least mention of it anyway.) With that out of the way though, the team take a deep dive into last week’s huge Next On Netflix presentation, which has bulked up our 'TV Series You Must See In 2025' list considerably; take a look at a bunch of newly announced, cryptically named series including David Tennant starring hacking scandal series Hacks, and Jodie Whittaker and Suranne Jones starring fraud drama Frauds; and, in a crossing of the Empire Film and Pilot TV podding streams, answer a multi-part listener question from our very own Ben Travis, who gets a home call from the team as punishment for his input. #SaveTheAcolyte!

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