Summary

Ruth Wilson is our guest this week, chatting to Boyd about The Woman In The Wall. Plus James gets to geek out to spectacular effect when he talks to Warrior creator Jonathan Tropper, who not only created the show Banshee but does a little 'Banshee' for us as well. The team also takes a look at the BBC's new off-beat series The Following Events Are Based On A Pack Of Lies, as well as tackling a couple of returning series in the form of ITV's The Tower and BBC3's Starstruck. Plus we mull over the best single seasons of television and ruminate on the enduring appeal of Friends.

0:00.0	On The Pilot TV Podcast this week, we're back up on the top floor with Gemma Wheelam in
0:12.4	series 2 of ITV's The Tower, experiencing the downside of dating celebrities with Rose
0:17.8	Mattefoe in series 3 of Starstruck on BBC One and reinventing ourselves alongside Alistair
0:23.7	Petri in the following events are based on a pack of lies, also on BBC One. Plus, I find
0:30.4	the time to bang on about the final seasons of Mayan's MC and the third season of Warrior
0:35.9	on Sky. And speaking of Warrior, that shows created Jonathan Tropper, joins us later on
0:41.8	the show to talk all about his martial arts epics for Triumph and Return. And that's not

1:03.2	this one will not go on for three and a half hours.
1:06.9	Oh my god. I genuinely, I wasn't joking when I said we should have handed out Martin
1:12.7	Jellis. That was a long interview.
1:15.2	I mean, the last one we did was 10 hours. So actually, I think we slimmed down quite
1:18.2	nicely. 200 was the proper beast. But we do actually have to finish on time today,
1:24.0	not least, because I have a hard out in 90 minutes. Boidey is an Edinburgh swatting
1:27.9	around with TV producers and drinking champagne. And, of course, you like to spend as little
1:32.1	time with us as humanly possible.
1:34.1	Well, I haven't eaten, and you know, I get hangry. You do. You do get hangry. And I've
1:37.7	had seven months.
1:38.7	No, I feel fine. No, I was just noshing at Adam Arme before you were noshing off something.
