Karl Pilkington is a legend!

I used to listen to this on XFM back in 2003. It went out between 2 and 4pm every Saturday. I tried my best to listen wherever I was.

I got the pod casts a couple of years ago, but I had to stop listening to them on my ipod on the Go train, as I kept pissing myself laughing. I'm sure everybody must have thought I was some kind of nut-case.

Who remembers the "Hairy Chinese Kid". And quotes such as "you never see an old person eating a twix". One of my favourites was the discussion on "Butt Plugs". And White Van Man, where Karl was asked to give his take on news items from the previous week. Or Educating Karl, where he was given a book to review.

Has anybody seen Extras yet?

Yes yet another awesome series from the master comedian and his side kick.

Barry from Eastenders was good, and what can you say about the car phone warehouse job, Rickieee !!.

Extras will be the Faulty Towers of the 00's :thumbup:

I still can't decide if Karl Pilkington really is a moron or if it's just a good act! Either way his observations are humorous.

You are so right. The car phone warehouse scene was brilliant. I also loved the episode with Patrick Stewart.

I thought Extras was crap, but love AIA and the Ricky Gervais Show.

By far the funniest clip from this is th one where they discuss the merits of giving a third world family a goat for Xmas :rofl:

Extras was briliant. Idiot Abroad is OK, but the more I watch it the more I feel sorry for Karl, he seems a genuinely lovely bloke whose takes too much crap from his "friend" Ricky. Steve Merchant comes over as a passive aggressive bully who also wont stand up to his mate and make him stop being a git.

KP is getting paid handsomely so I don't think he has reason to complain.

A house in Hampstead and one in Kent-can't be bad for doing a few Podcasts and being sent around the world. If he didn't want to do it, I'm sure he wouldn't on past form.

Oh sorry about that. Glad I downloaded all the shows XFM Series 0- 4,about 150 shows. This was where I got them from, together with all the Guide to's and Podcasts from various Torrents.

They take up a good couple of DVDs as back ups.

You think you can zip them up and upload them for free to either megaupload, wupload, rapidshare, et al for us please?

Come on, be a diamond geezer :thumbsup:
