The Ricky Gervais Show

For years, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, and Karl Pilkington spent their Saturdays chatting nonsense on a small tinpot radio show called XFM. In November 2005, with a loyal fanbase behind them, Gervais and Merchant pitched an idea for a podcast to The Guardian. What followed was five series of absurdity over three brilliant years, racking up over 300 million downloads by 2011. Settle in as the famously ridiculous trio 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.
