Karl Pilkington

How the devil are you? Thank you so, so much downloading. Things good? Things not so good? Well put all that aside for an hour or so and let's dive into the world of KARL PILKINGTON. We announced that Karl would be joining us on Monday, as we always do (what? You don't know that? Check your social media!) and since then anticipation has been building for episode 55 and to hear more of what makes Karl, well... Karl. Craig & Producer Griff travelled south (London's soho to be exact) to meet Karl at the hotel he was staying in. Tea was ordered, microphones were set up and we hit the record button. It's a bit of a podcast of two halves this really. Craig and Karl start off by having a bit of a moan about all sorts of stuff (well, it was quite early in the morning) and then just before it turns into a full whinge about the state of everything they think is wrong, it's a hand brake turn into Karl's life and his past and what's happening right now. Actually while you're here... what's happening right now is this: https://www.skygroup.sky/corporate/media-centre/articles/en-gb/meet-karl-in-first-look-trailer-for-new-sky-one-comedy-sick-of-it Karl's done with all his travel show stuff and now he heads into sitcom territory with a show cowritten by himself and long term collaborator RICHARD YEE. 'SICK OF IT' starts sept 27th at 10pm on Sky 1 & NOW TV. And before you ask, no, we havnt been sponsored by Sky One. We just like Karl and happen to think his show is dead, dead good. Oh, and there may be a TSP connection for the very first episode of his show... Hmmm. It's a very, very entertaining episode that we loved recording. Karl is an absolutely brilliant fella to spend time some time with, so sit yourself down and strap yourself in. Really hope you enjoy. THIS IS EPISODE 55 OF THE TWO SHOT PODCAST WITH KARL PILKINGTON.

The last ever Two Shot Podcast - Craig chats with Vicky McClure

Happy new year folks! As we celebrate the start of a new year we also celebrate the end of the TSP journey. What a 6 year journey it’s been! We’ve loved every second. How do we end it though? We couldn’t just record another episode. It had to be special. It had to mean something. How do we do that? We thought long and hard and then we decided to end it at the start. As you remember our very first guest was the magnificent Vicky McClure so it would seem a full circle moment was in order. A bit of a different spin this time though. If you’ve been with us for a while you’ll know that one guest that keep getting asked for again and again is our host, Craig. So….. Craig asked Vicky if she’d be up for turning the tables so that Vicky would be the one asking the questions and Craig would be on the receiving end. Seems perfect right? We think so. Craig drove to Nottingham to meet Vicky and they recorded this very special ending at the brilliant Mount Street Studios. We hope you enjoy. Who knows, tears may be shed. We just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone that’s supported us over the years, it’s been a blast. Until we speak again, all our love and gratitude to you and every guest that’s given their free time to talk. Craig & Griff Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We were thrilled to bits to sit down with Jodie in our podcast Soho base that is MAISON BETAUX and got the tea in (and also a scone). Or a scon.

Joseph Gilgun (Part 2)

This week we're celebrating some of the talented past TSP guests who've been recognised at this year's BAFTAs. This episode with Joe Gilgun first aired February 28th 2019 Nah then. How are you keeping? We've got another sequel for you this week. It's the return of one of Chorley's finest exports Mr. Joseph Gilgun! We chatted to Joe way, way back in 2017 (click here to listen) and the feedback we got from that episode was incredible. Joe doesn't do too many interviews so having the opportunity to sit down again and record was a real honour. When we spoke to Joe, he'd just wrapped from a hectic shoot on his own creation; the soon to be released series Brassic. He was just readying himself to travel halfway across the world to start shooting the next series of AMC's Preacher - A brutal schedule by anyone's reckoning. The episode finds him wrestling with his emotions. The brutality and honesty of his self-analysis is sometimes startling but they shine so much light on the human condition, it's impossible not to be completely won over. His unfiltered passion and storytelling ability is nothing short of spellbinding and the anecdotes are typically hilarious. It's a beautiful episode that we're so proud to be able to bring you.This is episode 78 of the Two Shot Podcast with Joseph Gilgun. Get in touch...

Tchéky Karyo

Bonjour TSP listeners. Hope you're well as you read this. We've got an absolute treat for you this week in the shape of a chat with the enigmatic actor Tchéky Karyo. You may have seen Tchéky in his role of detective Julien Baptiste in The Missing and Baptiste or in such films as The Patriot, Goldeneye, Bad Boys and La Femme Nikita. He has an incredibly impressive resume, but this being the Two Shot Pod we don't really talk about all that stuff. Tcheky is a passionate and deeply interesting person. His life-experiences of growing up in a melting pot of cultures and environments have moulded him into the wonderful person he is. Craig and Tchéky talk here about the brutality of school, the importance of bread and cheese, the power of avant-garde theatre, the human spirit, Paris in the 50s and 60s, and much, much more. It's a really beautiful episode and we're so proud to put it out.Enjoy episode 77 of the Two Shot Podcast with Tcheky Karyo. Get in touch...

Jodie Comer

Well. Here we all are again. It’s episode 69. As this is our last episode of 2018 it seems only fitting to think about what an incredible year it’s been. We’ve been fortunate enough to sit down and meet so many extraordinary people who’ve been so open and so honest with sharing their stories. We wanted to thank each and every one of them. It isn’t an easy thing to come and meet up with (sometimes) strangers and discuss the deep, intimate parts of your life that can be, sometimes, very revealing... not to mention sharing those to the world!This year we won a British podcast award (We told you right?). We’re so honoured that TSP got recognised alongside so many other podcasts that we love. Do go listen to the many podcasts that made the list as they will all find a place that in your podcast library, we’re sure. As we say goodbye to 2018, it’s fitting we end as we started the year...on a high. We couldn’t think of anyone better to see us out than the brilliant human that is JODIE COMER. Craig & Producer Griff met in London (Earl’s Court) to meet up with Jodie and get their podcast on. It was Jodie’s very first podcast! We’re always so honoured when people want TSP to be their first podcast outing. We don’t think this will disappoint ONE. BIT. You'll know Jodie from her show-stealing depiction of Villanelle in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's incredible Killing Eve alongside Sandra Oh and former TSP guest Susan Lynch.You might also have seen her in The White Princess, My Mad Fat Diary, Doctor Foster, Thirteen and loads of other stuff. If you’re a big fan of Jodie, then after this episode you’ll be a colossal fan. She’s absolutely ace. What a perfect way to send off the year. Thank you all so much for an ace 2018. Have a beautiful Christmas. All our peace and love for the new year.

Hiyer. How goes it? Hope you're good this week. We are. We've done a load of podcast recording. And the first one we're gonna share with you is this absolute beaut featuring the incredible voice of actor Mark Strong. You'll know Mark from loads of stuff.

He's been in loads of other stuff including Kingsman, Sherlock Holmes, Shazam, Deep State, Green Lantern, The Imitation Game, RocknRolla, Zero Dark Thirty and loads, loads more. He's a prolifically brilliant actor and a completely wonderful person. He has a calm and considered demeanour with a voice to match, which we're sure you'll thoroughly enjoy listening to. We sat down with Mark in a swank club in Soho and got down to it. He told us of his joy at playing football matches with unorthodox kick-off times, not regretting turning jobs down, punk bands, being without his parents as a youth, the inexact science of making films, amongst tons of other stuff.
