Summary

Award-winning TV producer and until recently Chair of BAFTA, Krish Majumdar joins us to look back on his eventful reign at the British Academy, and working with the likes of Kate Winslet and Elliot Page. It’s also our last pod before the live 250th episode and James is off, apparently sunning himself at his Tuscan retreat, so Basic Bingers legend and editor of Crime Monthly magazine, Steph Seelan is back, joining Boyd and Kay to discuss dystopian comedy Henpocalypse, the return of ITV’s Jane Austen-ish period drama Sanditon, and, in a bold departure from the stuff we usually review, Running Wild With Bear Grylls: The Challenge on National Geographic, which does at least feature Benedict Cumberbatch being very brave.

Hello, and welcome to the Pilot TV podcast, I'm Boy Kilton, and you know it's the summer

0:12.3

holidays when not only are you scrabbling around for decent TV shows to review, but

0:16.8

everyone in the media is also away at their Tuscan holiday home, including, as a matter

0:21.6

of fact, our regular leader, James Dyer, who is currently sunning himself on his hammer

0:26.6

while watching old episodes of Battlestar Galactica on his iPad, while his staff pair

the day's lavish delights ahead. Classic games. Yeah, I hope you're having a lovely

0:36.4

time, James. Lazy. Be thinking of us. Oh, let's introduce

0:41.1

those voices in a second. Luckily, even though it is the higher up at summer season, when

0:46.6

ITV is showing Waterfall James Bond films and Primetime, they really are, I'm not making

0:50.8

this up, and the BBC is mostly sports right now. We have found some shows to review, including

0:56.2

a hen-night during the apocalypse in hen-pocalypse. The return of ITV's Jane Austin-ish period drama

1:03.6

Sanditon. Sanditon. Sanditon. Who knows? And slightly off-piece, we watch Ben Cumberbatch

1:11.6

climbing up a rock in running wild with Bear Grills' colon the challenge.

1:20.7

To make sense of all this summer madness, I'm thrilled to be joined by the Queen of

1:25.1

Cookabong, Ms. K. Rebeiro. Don't spell it wrong. Hello, Kate. Hello. Cookabong's really

1:31.7

taken up like a unit and using it, but I don't even use it that much. I mean, out of two

1:36.9

of them, I usually say banana crackers, but you two really are actually onto this.

1:40.8

But Queen of Cookabong is more a liturative, so it's better. Fair enough. And that other

1:45.6

voice you've already heard just, you know, kind of dipping in before she gets fully announced

1:50.6

is our Queen of Crime brackets monthly, Stephanie Sealum. Okay. It isn't brackets monthly.
