Ruth Wilson is our guest on the show this week, talking about A Very Royal Scandal, which comes to Prime Video this week but is also heavily embargoed so we can’t tell you about it on this week’s show. Luckily, she can! Plus, we’re all up in The Penguin’s business this week as that spinoff from Matt Reeves’ The Batman lands on Sky Atlantic and Now. Agatha All Along… is also embargoed, so we’ll be tackling that on this week’s Pilot+, but that does mean we have the bandwidth to return to Channel 5 for The Wives and, to properly send James off the deep end, we give the Frasier reboot another chance over on Paramount+. It doesn’t go well. All that and we also find the time for an emergency Emmys drop-in, discussing this year's winners.
