S01 E08 - Karl's Diary
This week The Ricky Gervais Show sees a new feature, Karl’s Diary. Ricky almost bursts as Steve reads extracts from Karl’s experience of his holiday in Gran Canaria, and the lads chat about Guinness World Records, nicknames, and CB radios. Since this episode, Karl’s diary has reportedly been taken to a secure hospital to be reviewed by specialists.

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.
