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 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!

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...

Danny Mays

We cannot believe that it's episode 20! Flown by right? Well, we thought we'd mark the occasion by getting the magnetic DANNY MAYS in for a pot of tea and good old chin wag! We're so glad we did cos this is a very special episode with one of the UK's finest (not to mention, funniest) actors. You'll know Dan from all sorts ranging from his BAFTA nominated turn as Danny Waldron in series 3 of Line Of Duty to his role in Mrs Briggs and on the big screen in Dad's Army and most recently The Limehouse Golem. It was a pleasure to get the kettle on and spend time with Dan. You may think that Craig just knows Dan from Line of Duty but their friendship goes way back 15 years to when they used to be flatmates (stories from those wild days can be purchased for the same price as Da Vinci's Salvator Mundi). Thanks so much for downloading and supporting us at TWO SHOT PODCAST, it's very much appreciated.We really hope you enjoy AND... make sure you stick around for the end as we have some very exciting news that you're gonna want to hear.
