Another awesome night courtesy of @empiremagazine.bsky.social. Thanks to @jamescdyer.bsky.social and @nickdesemlyen.bsky.social for the interesting Q&A 😂 with David Chase #Sopranos

Our Foundation season 3 spoiler special podcast is recording on Thursday, so if you have any thoughts/questions you’d like us to address, email them to PilotTV at empiremagazine.com with the subject ‘Foundation’ before then.

An epic live @pilottvpod tonight. Show well and truly stolen by the splendiferous Russell T Davies, who is now an official co-Pilot.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts. The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative. Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

True story.

It’s back! I liked it (I know, shocking).

I’m sorry, there’s absolutely nothing that could get me interested in Amazon’s new IP-flogging, post-Broccoli era of Bond, I don’t care what you… Oh 😳 deadline.com/2025/06/deni...

No, I’m sorry @primevideouk, this WILL NOT STAND! Season 3 was fucking fantastic and if you can afford to pour a billion dollars into The Rings Of Power, you can throw some cash at this glorious show! deadline.com/2025/05/the-...

Now *this* is news I can get behind.

Some proper dystopian shit right here. Absolutely not.

Finished #ClairObscurExpedition33 last night and this French fancy has crashed into my all time top 10. Characters you can’t help but fall in love with and the kind of multilayered, sophisticated storytelling that comes along all too rarely. Magnifique!

It’s all over! Time for the final batch of Andor Qs. Send your spoiler questions for eps 10-12 to me before midday Thursday via DM on IG or Bluesky.

It’s Andor question time! DM (on here or IG) your spoiler Qs for eps 7-9 before 1pm Thursday.

Episode 666 of the Empire podcast is now in your feeds and, appropriately, I’m in the driving seat for this one. Hail Satan etc 😈 hellorayo.co.uk/podcasts/the...

Calling all shambolic rubes, we’re recording our Severance spoiler special tomorrow. Send all your Qs to me directly via IG DM. In Keir’s light, we walk.

Spoiler special in the works for Adolescence. Send in your Qs if you have them! (Ideally straight to me via IG DM)

“Dope Thief is a wild ride that you just won’t want to quit.” Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura are two Philly felons in over their heads in #DopeThief, which premieres on Apple TV+ tomorrow. Read our review: www.empireonline.com/tv/reviews/d...

When you really start to suspect that you might be watching too many shows…

If you have questions for today’s Paradise spoiler chat, send them over!

Squeezy Marmite is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! 🥳

As someone newly fascinated by DnD (yet to play a game), I’d like to give a big shout out to the rather fabulous @hellorhighrollers.bsky.social podcast, which I am enjoying enormously, but which has set the bar for the (eventual) Empire game impossibly high!

🖖

Because you demanded it, the Silo S2 spoiler special is now live on Pilot+, including my on-set interview with Graham Yost.

Did I edit the latest @pilottvpod.bsky.social video for YouTube on Friday and then completely forget to set it live until just now? Why yes. Yes I did.. youtu.be/9JdKRoVZEyc?...

The @pilottvpod.bsky.social bumper Xmas/New Year Merrineum Plug (must come up with a new name for that) is now live on Pilot+, covering off everything we missed during the break plus a Gavin & Stacey finale spoiler with series director Christine Gernon.

Our review of 2024 pod has just dropped! If you want to hear about all the great telly you missed this year (and sit through a 10 min blooper reel of us acting like absolute tits) then fill your snow boots! pca.st/episode/53fc...

And this year’s Christmas movie is…

This week’s @PilotTVPod is now live and features two *very* special guests in the form of Rebecca Ferguson and @Apple CEO @tim_cook, both of whom I had the pleasure of chatting with on the set of @SiloSeries season 3.

Fear not, the podcast gremlins haven’t stolen your Monday morning episode of Pilot+. This week’s is delayed till lunchtime due to an embargo. Sorry!

"Die Hard karaoke this may be, but it delivers — and eclipses at least two of John McClane’s outings in the process." Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman face off in tense festive thriller #CarryOn, streaming now on Netflix. Read Empire's ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review: www.empireonline.com/movies/revie...

We’re recording out bumper Review Of The Year podcast today. If you have any questions for us about the year that was, DM @pilottvpod.bsky.social or reply here using the #ROTY tag.

We’re delighted to have the excellent @joebarton.bsky.social on the show this week as a special guest host, talking Black Doves and the creative powers of the ‘Merrineum’. Listen to the episode now or watch it in glorious HD video below! youtu.be/0yWdSmq3LOs?...

The new series of Happy Valley is off the chain!

I believe that’s called Impasta syndrome.

Currently at a bar themed like a ‘90s house party that has a secret room behind a bookcase where no one can bother you, containing a recliner and a PS1. WHY WERE THERE NEVER SUCH ROOMS FOR ME WHEN I WENT TO ACTUAL ‘90s HOUSE PARTIES?!

We tackle the iconic 2008 Gavin And Stacey Christmas Special on Pilot+ this week, including this iconic cameo from @boydhilton.bsky.social as ‘chief M&S knicker sorter’.

We’re Back! @pilottvpod.bsky.social is back on YouTube this week (apologies for the recent service disruption), glory in our splendiferous, full-colour moving pictures. youtu.be/G0z50PWMZQg?...

On the first day of Christmas, Prime Video gave to me… 😳

@pilottvpod.bsky.social night out at the Sky/NOW Christmas party. 10/10, no notes.

It’s that time of year again…

Looking forward to AI models trained on my writing to getting yelled at for disappointing endings.

Finished Cross on Prime, which I largely enjoyed. However, I would like to propose a moratorium on the trope whereby someone says something innocuous, causing the detective to go into a trance while looped dialogue from earlier hammers home the incredibly obvious connection they’ve only just made 🤔.

Hello Bluesky.

In an effort to fill the gaps in my Villeneuve collection, I finally watched Enemy… WTAF?! 🕷️
