Filmed in The Libertines’ spiritual home of Margate, The Pete Doherty Show sees the Babyshambles man and Pugh exploring the seaside town and meeting locals, interviewing guests from the worlds of music, comedy and the arts, as well as performances from Doherty and musical guests, such as GANS in the first episode.

Pugh even attempts Doherty’s legendary viral ‘big breakfast ‘ from The Dalby Café.

“It’s a musical and comedy adventure, that we’d like you all to join us for,” Doherty told NME .

“We thought if the world needs anything right now, it needs another podcast.” OUR INSTA EMBED HERE Asked how it came together, the frontman replied: “First of all, I just wanted to meet Josh.

It wasn’t blackmail, but it was like that couldn’t happen unless we did a show that producers had been talking about.

I hated the idea of doing a show, but then they said they had all these amazing guests to interview – who all mysteriously cancelled on the first day.

The guests that we did have were amazing.” Pugh continued: “They’re not who we were promised, but yeah they were good.” Among the tantalising guests that didn’t come into fruition was a certain Simpsons and Spinal Tap legend.

“I thought Harry Shearer was coming in, so we were all quite excited about that,” shared Doherty.

“I was a little bit grumpy and a little bit nervous about it, but we’ll see how it goes.

If it is a horrible flop I can say, ‘See? I told you we couldn’t do this’.

Then if it’s a success, that dry lack of confidence in it will be what people like.” Pugh agreed: “I’m not sure you can even have a flop on Youtube.

Anyone can upload and I think we’ll be OK.
