The Ricky Gervais Show

For years, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington entertained listeners with their nonsense on XFM. In 2005, they launched a podcast with The Guardian, delivering five series of absurdity over three years and over 300 million downloads by 2011. Join the famously ridiculous trio every Thursday as they discuss everything from horses in houses, paper rounds, and fat babies to Karl’s diary, poetry, Aunty Nora, man moths, hairy Chinese kids, and of course, monkey news.

S03 E06 - Me Ward

On the last episode of series 3, Karl learns of a new fan in the form of short actor Warwick Davis. Karl reveals the mystery of the one face man, whilst Ricky teaches Karl about determinism. The boys listen to Karl whine about his horrific kidney experience, and the diary reveals a deep dive into the UK's national health service. A new poem emerges, and Karl receives bad news about his father (or so he thinks).

The time has come for Karl as his first book, 'The World of Karl Pilkington', is officially published.

The boys also chat twaddle about toenails, scrotum relocation, Steve's nightclub experience, a bridge toll monkey, and a depressive slug.
