Pilot TV Podcast

Kay is still on holiday this week, but thats okay because standing in for her is true crime maven Steph Seelan, plus Cynthia Nixon  although shes less a Kay stand-in and more a guest, here to talk about the new season of And Just Like That (1:02:13-1:16:13). On this weeks show we have a trio of half hour wonders, specifically Channel 4s Beth (1:33:57), ITVs The Consultant (1:25:25), and BBC1s St Denis Medical (1:42:43). Whats more, we take the opportunity not only to get the latest true crime recommendations from Steph, but to grill her on the genres appeal as a whole and try to discover why James wasnt invited to her wedding.

All that, and for the maths geeks among you, a special treat as James breaks down the finances of epic fantasy series in a painful attempt to explain why The Wheel Of Time didn’t deserve to be cancelled.
