    Sky have started advertising this new show featuring the Ricky Gervais podcast star Karl Pilkington!

    They're sending him unwillingly around the world to experience the seven wonders of the world, I can't stand Ricky Gervais but I can't get enough of Karl Pilkington so this looks like it's going to be hilarious.

    It starts September 5th on Sky 1.

    Looks great. I thought that The Ricky Gervais Show should have been called The Karl Pilkington show as he made it. Still like Ricky though.

    Over rated, the lot of the them. Karl, Ricky and Steven. They had a fortunate situation and time which made them in comedy stars, but those without any real substance.

    Success means fuck all, it is definitely not a factor in which to measure wether or not something is good.

    Get bent.

    Created the office and extras.

    Yes yes, clearly overrated.

    Anyway, nice attempt at turning a promising thread into a clusterfuck from the word go!

    I didn't like either, they actually were overrated in my book. But this looks brilliant.

    How was The Office a 'fortunate situation'? Did they just sit down and fortunately write a highly-regarded comedy?

    I'll probably find him funnier when Gervais isn't sat next to him going "DID HE JUST SAY THAT? LOL!"

    Is sorosis of the liver so called that because you get a really sore liver with it?

    Thanks for expressing interest in my signature!

    This.

    I do rather like Karl Pilkington's somehow simultaneously common-sense, down-to-earth, yet completely insane take on the world.

    Seen the preview show, it's fantastic. Love it when Karl is at breaking point in the Jungle. I love it in the studio with Karl trying to explain to Ricky why you can't just go outside for a piss at night in the Jungle :D

    Found this website, it's got all the XFM radio shows, which you can stream directly on the website. These radio shows are fantastic:

    Ricky Gervais hobby is annoying Karl Pilkington. Just watch Ricky, he loves it.
  • Deleted user 10 September 2010 00:45:32
    Steve and Ricky have set Karl right up. Can't wait for the series. Best thing on Sky in a long time.
  • Deleted user 10 September 2010 00:51:42
    Nah, keep it. It's a good language for slaging off the English without them knowing in your company :p

    I think he's pretty much employed him for his own personal entertainment. Have you seen where Ricky got Karl a part in a film, and ricky cut it out later?
    Haha! Yeah!

    He sends him out there, he hates it, and he gets a review copy and he's cut. :D

    Karl should have been in "The Invention of Lying" part one

    ... and part two (when they cut it)
