The Pilot TV Podcast: Adolescence, Dope Thief, And The Au Pair Ft. Brian Tyree Henry And Faye Marsay

In a departure from your regular pod programming, we’re giving out gnomes this week on the Pilot TV Podcast — specifically to our first guest this episode, Brian Tyree Henry, who joins James Dyer to chat all things rip and run with Apple TV+ crime thriller Dope Thief. [20:15 — 37:10 approx.] And while she didn’t get a gnome, the excellent Faye Marsay stopped by as well to talk mind-blowing one-shot drama Adolescence on Netflix and offer a few crumbs of Andor Season 2 intel to the Rebel in our ranks Jordan King. [1:03:25 — 1:23:27 approx.]

Either side of those ace guests, back in the podbooth James, Kay Ribeiro, and Boyd Hilton convene for another cracking episode in which this week's double dose of Big Boys inspired listener questions has the team considering memorable shots and lachrymose TV moments. Then, over on the news front, the team dig into a busy week in the world of telly that incorporates two new Harlan Coben projects, a Phoebe Waller-Bridge octopus documentary, the cancellation of The Recruit, and the new trailer for Doctor Who Season 2. All that, and we review our two guests' new shows as well as The Au Pair on Channel 5, a show that is…. well, we wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise. Listen and find out!

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