What will make this heat more bearable? Flying ants 😱

Really impressed by the Ryanair flight I was just on - lovely cabin crew and NO delays.

Just about to record the pod and we need a good topical q. Anyone got one that’s easy to answer?

So, apparently, this is a thing! Please come hang with us so it’s not just me, Boyd and James wanging on in an empty room (like we do every week)

Last One Laughing is so damn funny. Having to ration the eps.

Not sure what constitutes a crisis for you. I’ve run out of teabags and this is a disaster. Morning can’t start. The day is over.

💪🏽⬆️

Turns out, for an exorbitant price at the hairdressers you can get MORE hair dye on your face and ears than if you did it at home. Who knew? 🫠

Today I made an online appt to speak to my GP, I spoke to my GP who referred me to my local hospital, I then spoke to them, and was instantly reassured. All in all, a positive NHS experience.

I joke a lot about my surname being spelt wrong, but sometimes it’s genuinely upsetting. Recently, an iconic institution spelt it wrong on my name card (was gutted) and just received an email from somewhere I’ve been freelancing, calling me Kay Ribera. Bigger problems exist, but it’s big to me.

EastEnders is on fire. Literally. Last night’s ep was thrilling and explosive, but Steve McFadden deserves so much credit for his brave performance. Unravelling before our eyes, seemingly beyond help, he’s a great actor. Long live ‘Enders!

Not Phil having his last pint??? 😩#Enders

Just finished the third and final series of Big Boys and I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s extraordinary. Excited to see what Jack Rooke does next.

Congratulations on surviving the 892 days of January.

Pilot listeners, help me out! We’re about to record and I don’t have a listener q ready. Please send an easy-to-answer-don’t-need-to-prepare-q to avoid getting a backlash from these two. Thank you!

While I’m at it, straw poll on this morning’s train crime. Man has his bag on the seat next to him and then spilled over onto the ladies’ next to him, causing her to have one leg in the aisle. Totally unacceptable, right?

Lovely to know that viewers of #TheTraitors have donated as much as Alexander would have won.

I asked an earbudless bozo on the train to turn down the volume on his phone and I didn’t get my head kicked in. Today has been a good day.

🙌🏾

Liv must be kept in at all costs. Her mini meltdowns at people looking at her, at them playing the game and literally crying at everything is the most entertaining thing about this series.

Everyone kicking off at Freddie for daring suggest that someone in a group of four could be a Traitor is peak Traitors.

Every time I hear Fozia’s name, I think of Fozzie Bear and it makes me happy. #TheTraitors

Tonight’s highlight: Joe getting mugged off by Kas and then getting aggy about it.

Yes Fozia! Calling them out for ostracising Kas.

But also, getting them to pitch from a cage high up in the sky is WILD. #TheTraitors

That’s rough, the sacrificial lambs potentially getting shafted twice. #TheTraitors

Today’s major win is realising I haven’t put something in the oven 10 mins into the 40 mins bake time 💪🏽

Woman coughing her lungs up on the train. Got a cough sweet. Do I risk her shouting “stranger danger!” or just offer it?

Traitors day

Just went to a pub quiz, contributed little, but had a lovely night out. Who’s the real winner? (Answer: not me)

Jake turning Armani into the country: Armania. #TheTraitors

Jake: “Kass, you’re a doctor during the day, so you probably murder people at night.” Logical.

As tasks go, watching them row a boat is pretty boring. #TheTraitors

It’s awful because she’s not lying, but Elen’s tears just give off a crocodile energy.

Charlotte’s upset that people think she’s a Traitor, while also telling the most pointless lie ever about having a Welsh accent 😂

If I was on The Traitors there would be no way I’d be able to stay up till midnight.

Watching the Goggleboxers watching the Gavin and Stacey finale is making me emotional all over again 😭

In the contestants’ lodgings, do they have TVs and books and stuff? Or is it straight up isolation?

Wait, the diplomat is coming back right? RIGHT? #traitors

Gavin & Stacey: A Fond Farewell, 7pm (BBC1); The Traitors, 8pm (BBC1); SAS Rogue Heroes, 9pm (BBC1); Gogglebox Festival Special, 9pm (C4) and Harlan Coben’s Missing You (Netflix). Today is a good day for telly! 2025 is getting off to a good start 👊🏽

Having just heard the Pilot blooper reel, I’m resolving to swear less 😳

Teenage niece had never seen Gavin and Stacey, so watched all 21 eps in the run up to Christmas. We watched the finale together, then rewatched the last 20 mins immediately. Today, in the car, I presumed she was on TikTok but she was watching ep 1 again. Jones and Corden’s writing resonates.

Spent a lot of time today thinking about the Gavin and Stacey finale, and how proud Ruth Jones and James Cordon must feel.

The Gavin and Stacey finale is just everything. It far exceeded my expectations and might just be the perfect ending. I am in bits.

Struggling to process the brilliance and emotion of the Shrinking S2 finale. Give Brett Goldstein (who wrote it) an award/tumbled stone. He’s on fire.

Kellie Bright must surely win all the awards for her performance as alcoholic Linda. Totally convincing and utterly heartbreaking to watch.

So, the @pilottvpod.bsky.social festive sack is looking kinda empty. We record on Thursday, so if you have any thoughts or feelings you want to share/questions you want us to half answer, don’t hold back!
