Karl Pilkington, Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant • XFM • Series 4 • Episode 4-6

It all started with 'The Ricky Gervais Show', despite being named after Ricky Gervais, is mostly about the life and ideas of Karl Pilkington!
The show started in August 2001 on Xfm Radio, later picked up by Guardian Unlimited, and was consistently ranked as the number one podcast in the worl!
It was even in the Guinness World Record in 2007 as the world's most downloaded podcast.
In 2010 an animated series, based on the podcast, was created and launched on HBO in the US and Channel 4 in the UK.
Karl Pilkington initially started just as the producer of the show, brought in to assist the administrative work around the radio show,
But Ricky and Stephen quickly picked up on Karl's different way of thinking and started to incorporate him into the show, and he quickly became the star of the show!
The trio has done many different collaborations after the end of 'The Ricky Gervais Show'.

Pilkers moaned his way out in style. I seem to remember him leaving early to catch a train for a holiday once. They were leaving for a huge gig to introduce REM. Karl never disappoints.
