RSK XFM Remastered

PART 1 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of one of Karl Pilkington's most beloved features, MONKEY NEWS. Monkeys are near and dear to Karl's simian heart. He spent much of his time during the XFM years sitting at home, looking up spurious monkey facts on the Internet. He would then share this unreliable monkey-related drivel with his two best friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who, over time, became increasingly irate at Karl's evermore outlandish monkey musings. This BEST OF compilation is based on the comprehensive 4-part MONKEY NEWS compilation released previously on this channel. CHAPTERS: Hairless Chimp Tries It On With Zookeeper's Wife (0:00) First Monkey To Have His Name Tattooed On His Head (4:49) Infinite Monkey Shakespeare Conundrum (9:45) Hackney Chimp Nickin' DVDs (18:03) Oliver the Humanzee (21:35) Monkey Wedding (25:14) Monkey Bank Robber (28:43) Monkey Robber Pays Off Zookeeper (33:07) Monkey Railway Signalman (37:59) Monkey Hairdresser (41:27) Monkey Doing a Web Chat - My name is Marty (46:08) Monkey #86 Drives to Spain (49:22) Little Asian Monkey with Pointiest Eyes (54:23) Homeless Monkey Arrested in Russia (57:27) "Monkey Business" - Monkeys from the Rough Bit of the Island (1:01:05)

Compilation of all of Karl Pilkington's short-lived, but truly astounding feature: Cheeky Freak of the Week. An off-the-wall segment in which Karl introduces his dearest friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, to a random "freak" person with some sort of deformity or abnormality. He never meant to be insensitive or have a go at these people. Instead, he was just utterly fascinated with any kind of oddity or strangeness. Karl's mission is for people to put themselves into a little weird fella's shoes, and ponder what being viewed by society as a freak would be like. Mad, innit? CHAPTERS: Elephant Man, Pillow Man, 27 Toes & Fingers (0:00) Guinness World Records (6:23) Child Older Than Her Mum (10:59) Woman With Dog Legs (14:44) Man With Two Heads (16:59) Siamese Twins (23:08) Boneless Fella, Strangest Couple, Skin of a Lizard (28:35) Woman with Funny Neck in Cornwall (44:55) Four Eyes. Two Noses. Two Mouths. (46:58)

BEST OF Compilation of Karl Pilkington's SONGS OF PHRASE feature, for which Karl combines pieces of songs to re-enact "popular" sayings from the show. Originally, Karl called the feature, CROSSWORDS, because he got words and sort of crossed 'em and that... The name changed to SONGS OF PHRASE in response to a fan's suggestion. Listeners try to guess all of the songs that the well-known phrase is composed of. CHAPTERS: There's This Hairy Chinese Kid (0:00) And You'll Never See An Old Man Eat a Mars Bar Bar Bar (9:52) My Neighbor Had A Horse In A House (21:04) Tell me Why, Tell me Why, Tell Me Why, Don't They Play The Game Of Swingball (30:32) I Know You're Just 16 But Looking All Of 21, That's Because The Chinese Look Older (39:36) Galileo! Don't Talk To Me About Science, Please Make Me Television (47:11)

PART 2 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters) from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show with Stephen Merchant. Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also ⁠voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time⁠. Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket. This 2-part BEST OF ROCKBUSTERS Compilation is based on the comprehensive 6-part ROCKBUSTERS compilation of every Rockbuster segment from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show (released previously). CHAPTERS: Cilla Black, Small Faces, New Order (0:00) Bryan Ferry, Del Amitri, Chris de Burgh (8:02) Tony Bennett, The Darkness, Adam Faith (17:25) Alex Parks, Aztec Camera, Phil Collins (24:45) Gareth Gates, Texas, Delta Goodrem (31:45) Nik Kershaw, Soft Cell, OutKast (36:14) The Divine Comedy, Electric Six, Erasure (42:50) Courtney Love, The Bravery, The Monkees (48:31) Donovan, Yoko Ono, McFly (56:16) Lisa Stansfield, The Buggles, Amy Winehouse (1:03:26)

Karl Pilkington nearly died many times as a child. It truly is a miracle that he survived into adulthood. Karl was always prone to choking, but also could've died in a number of other embarrassing ways. Not only that... He also nearly died live on-air attempting to break the world records for hamburger stuffing and grape eating! Suffice to say, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are amazed and grateful that their little buffoonish friend, Karl Pilkington, is still alive today. ENJOY!

PART 7, and final installment, of a Compilation of all the guests, callers and emailers from The Ricky Gervais Show on Xfm. This compilation includes such luminaries as Jonathan Ross, Chris Martin from Coldplay, Dr. Neil Fox, as well as a random assortment of listeners participating in inane competitions, responding to pointless questions from the hosts, commenting on Karl's antics, or popping in for no apparent reason. Ricky Gervais is keen to hear from their dedicated listeners, Stephen Merchant would rather they not allow the unwashed masses onto the show, and Karl Pilkington just wants his little features to educate his audience.
