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.

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. You might've seen him very recently in in Sky One's Temple alongside Craig and previous TSP guest Danny Mays. 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.

Susan Wokoma

Alright Two Shot Pod listeners. How goes? Hope you're all feeling reasonable or better this week. We've got a treat in store for you in the shape of an absolutely top chat with Susan Wokoma! You might know Susan from her appearances in Chewing Gum and Crazyhead or more recently her brilliant comedy short Love The Sinner for Sky. We met up with her in the basement room of Maison Bertaux in Soho and after Craig had told the unusually raucous patrons upstairs to keep the noise down, we got down to it. Susan talked movingly about her life growing up with immigrant parents, about being skint, about gentrification in her beloved London and about loads and loads more. It's an absolutely spell-binding hour or so that we're sure you'll find inspiring, heartbreaking and hilarious in various measures. Thanks a load for listening and if you enjoyed it, why not tell your pals. Especially those who don't ever listen to podcasts. Show 'em that glorious little purple app on their iphones that's a portal to unparalleled audio riches. Get in touch...

Hello TSP listeners. It's a new podcast day and this week we are joined by Liverpudlian Actor and Director Shaun Evans.

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

David Morrissey

So. Here we are. IT'S 2019! WE. ARE. BACK. Let’s get going. Fresh out the traps with an absolute banger of an episode with 'The Governor' DAVID MORRISSEY. Craig & Griff met David in London (Craig was dying with a cold!) and we got IT ON. It’s the only way we could kick off 2019. It’s a beautiful, honest and almost fragile conversation with one of Liverpool’s finest. We ended 2018 with the magnificent JODIE COMER and we start 2019 with the majestic DAVID MORRISSEY. LIVERPOOL.

What's happening mates! Hope you are all in a good place this week. It's episode ninety four with none other than Gaz Coombes. You'll know loads of Gaz's tunes. His new single Salamander is getting a load of radio play on 6Music. He's been putting out banging records for about 25 years under both his own name and with his group Supergrass. We met Gaz outside Maison Bertaux in Soho on a very sunny day in July. We had a brew and a chat and we recorded it so you can have a listen too. It's a lovely hour or so with Gaz and Craig covering all types of subjects. Have a listen, we reckon you'll like it. Get in touch...

Nicole Kidman

Hiyer Two Shot Pod pals. Hope you're all keeping well. We're back with another episode and this week we're talking to none other than the completely legendary Nicole Kidman! Craig dialled in to New South Wales to have a TSP chin wag with Nicole and they really got into it. They talk about her first forays into the acting world at the tender age of 14, her love of theatre and the trepidation she felt before treading the boards in the West End, traveling for work with her kids and close ones, the importance of drama school knowledge you were convinced you'd never need and loads, loads more. Nicole has done it all. From BMX Bandits (which Craig does bring up) to Batman, from To Die For to Moulin Rouge, she's one the greats of our time. The conversation starts with a bit of discussion about Nicole's most recent HBO project The Undoing which will be available on Sky Atlantic & NOW TV from 26 October. Craig is certainly on the edge of his seat to see the final episode. Nicole is a fabulous guest and we're sure you'll enjoy listening this, episode 136 of the Two Shot Podcast. Get in touch...
