The Funny Man of XFM

 

If I like something be it on radio, CD, online or DVD I like to listen to / watch it a lot. Time after time a truly good whodunnit or a cleverly scripted comedy will continue to keep me entertained.

At the begining of the year I found a link to the Guardian Unlimited website that had some podcasts available for free download under the name of "The Ricky Gervais Show". I swiftly downloaded the latest episodes as I was a huge fan of The Office (penned by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant) and I also had loved what I'd seen of the show's producer Karl Pilkington from an extra features on one of Ricky's DVDs.

It turns out Karl is a comic legend! I listened to the podcasts again and again . . . and AGAIN!

I've now discovered lots more Karl Pilkington goodies in the way of another podcast series and an archive of several series from XFM which hardcore Gervais / Merchant / Pilkington fans will be familiar with.

I was so impressed with the quality and longevity of the shows I've written an article on Karl as I truly believe him to be one of the funniest people around at the moment!
