Sid - have you downloaded the old xfm radio shows they did years ago? If you haven't, then you really should. You hear Karl go from someone who they talk to a couple of times throughout the show, to becoming the star of it!

Yeah, they're brilliant. Especially Karl's ill thought out features .

Karl in a film is genius though.

Let people in wheelchairs play swingball instead of tennis.

Hairy Chinese kids

Old men eating a twix.


Absolute insanely brilliant.

Educating Ricky was my favourite, just where did he get some of those stories from? As were Karl's mum's point missing contributions to Rock Busters .

..oh I don't think I've seen any of those, I'll take a look at them, thank you...

I've been working through them again over the last week as I do quite a bit of walking.

The 2 kids with massive heads and webbed fingers that went to his school, but weren't related or mates. Because it would have been obvious. The woman with a horse in her house. Stealing a tank for some fags. The list goes on.

It's a shame they didn't incorporate some stuff from them into a series 5 of The Ricky Gervais Show, they only included stuff from the podcasts, though there are some fan animated takes on them on YouTube that predate the HBO show.

..yeah, I agree with you about that, it was spoiled at the end and Karl's 'rants' are what he does best and when he's most funny because the thing is that even though he can go on a bit, you do actually relate to most of what he says and things that 'irritate' ...
