Summary

This week's show is brought to you in association with the definite article as we catch up with Bill Pullman in season 3 of The Sinner, head off to 18th century Russia with Elle Fanning in The Great, and to 19th century New Zealand with Eva Green and Eve Hewson in The Luminaries. All that plus a squabble over whether or not you should skip TV show credits, the indignity of unrealistic threesomes and the question of whether the 'astrolabe' is a hitherto undiscovered part of female anatomy.

0:00.0	On the pilot TV podcast this week we find ourselves entirely unrepentant. Why? Because the sinner season 3 has finally
0:16.1	arrived on British screens and quite frankly we regret nothing. We're also taking a
0:21.2	trip to a fiz pop bubblegum interpretation of 18th century Russia with
0:24.9	El Fanning in Stars plays The Great and then catching a connecting flight to the Antipides
0:30.1	to brave the Wild West of New Zealand in the Beebes adaptation of Eleanor Canton's
0:34.5	Booker Prize winning novel, The Luminaries. I'm James Dyer and welcome to the
0:39.6	Pilot TV podcast, a show that is thrilled we can now spend the night at the house of a loved
0:44.1	one during this lockdown period and the reason why Boyd and I are in the process of

0:59.0	Hailing from his all-seeing television penthouse in the heart of London is a man whose byline
1:03.6	picture shall henceforth be a rudimentary line drawing but only so that I can
1:08.3	refer to him as badly drawn Boyd. Wow that's good. That's one of my favorite introductions. Badly-drawn boy has a new single out by the way which is very good. Just FYI. I didn't know that. There you go. See this turns out this is quite timely. Well also in Morrison's last week, somebody approached my boyfriend and asked him if he was in fact badly drawn boy.
1:28.0	Oh, amazing. To be fair, your boyfriend does have the style of badly drawn boy, which I feel is a a compliment as well because I think badly drawn boy is a bit of an icon.
1:36.0	Well he also has the face and the hair and the everything else of badly drawn.
1:41.0	Does he wear woolly hats?
1:42.0	He does and I do sometimes when I'm
1:44.8	want to troll him, I just wits-up in pictures of Badly-drawn Boy.
1:47.6	That's a kind of loving girlfriend I am. You've already heard her but of course as ever joining us
1:56.6	from a land where mammoths roam the land and beasts of legend make their home otherwise
2:01.6	known as the feral wastes of
2:03.2	Chesterfield, is a woman for whom depressing TV is the sweetest
