Our brilliant trio together again! Ricky “He's suddenly realized they might know it's him!” Gervais; Stephen “And they could be listening, and they're gonna clean you out mate.” Merchant; and the eminent, Karl “'If so, yeah he's probably- he's probably... listening now.” Pilkington.

THIS TRACK HAS BEEN OPTIMIZED FOR AUDIO.

S2E47 | Ricky, Steve & Karl on XFM - REMASTERED (with Lost Bits)

Y'alright? Ages ago... People were sayin' this is the definitive remastering &amp; lost content discovery project for the legendary XFM radio show featuring Ricky "Play a Record" Gervais, Stephen "Man Alive" Merchant and Karl "K-Man" Pilkington, with such gems as ROCKBUSTERS and MONKEY NEWS.

Ricky, Steve and Karl began their pointless, mind-numbing Saturday afternoon radio show in August 2001 on XFM, a shoddy tin pot radio station. They did 4 radio series before launching their record-breaking podcast in 2005.

Listen for LOST BITS! Enjoy RSK XFM drivel like never before!

Not Radio X or Global.

PART 2 of a compilation of every XFM Ricky Gervais Show segment pertaining to Karl Pilkington's many holidays and sick days. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are astounded by Karl's antics on his seemingly endless foreign holidays. They also discuss his Mancunian work ethic, or lake thereof.

In many ways, Karl's stories from his holidays are a precursor to An Idiot Abroad, the ultimate 'fish out of water' TV show in which Ricky and Steve send Karl around the world to exotic locations, and see how he acclimates (to great comedic effect).
