On Pilot TV this week, we are falling in love with Boydie's nemesis.

Jim Sturgis in mixtape on BBC 2, exploring the life of a World War II POW in the narrow road to the deep north on BBC 1,

and creating weird and wonderful inventions alongside

Washington Black on Disney Plus. Plus, Mark Gatis joins us on this week's show to chat all

things bookish. I'm James Dyer and welcome to Pilot TV. You're a central guide to every show

that matters and a podcast that is recording remotely today separated as I am from my two co-pilots in body if not

in spirit or should I say in Boidy if not in spirit as Boyd Hilton is here. Hello Boidy.

Good morning, sir. Good morning indeed. And Kay Ribeiro is also among us. Hello Kay.

Hi there. And of course you people, you people, you are the people who do not need to be separated from us.

You know why?

Because we are coming to King's Place on Friday the 8th of August.

And while we won't say who, we have just had a very exciting guest confirm for the show.

So you would be insane to miss it.

So do get your tickets now. They are on sale at kingsplace.com. At UK, search for pilot 350. Yeah, James is not making that up. He's not, he's not invasible. He's not just saying that we've booked a guest. That is what I normally do. Oh, the plans, the guests, we have actually got an amazing guest. We must emphasize the guess that I think no one will be let down by everyone will be excited and yeah. Yeah. When are we going to reveal it? Are we revealing it next week? Well, we don't normally reveal them in advance. Like we did, admittedly, we did do, we did do it with Ricky. That's, that's an insane. I'm just saying it now. That's an absolute banana cracker's thing to do because more people are going to want to see it. So why would you not reveal it beforehand?

That's no offence, James.

That's a very dire thing to do. You think? You think you have a last minute reveal. All right. All right. This is a conversation. Perhaps we shall reveal it. As marketing goes, it's absolutely nuts. Yeah. One said person, one said exciting person has signed the contract in his own blood, or in their own blood, I should say.

Can't be giving away genders.

So... nuts. Yeah. One said person, one said exciting person has signed the contract in his own blood, or in their own blood, I should say.

Can't be giving away genders.

Spoiler. So, yeah. So then we'll see what happens. We will see what happens. Maybe we will reveal it. All will be revealed. Anyway, very, very exciting stuff. It's going to be a great show. I'm really looking forward to it. but what have you been watching on the television? Kay?

Hello, right. So, as you been watching on the television? Kay. Hello.

Right.
