Now, all 12 episodes of The Ricky Gervais Show: The Complete First Season are here in one package that's far tidier than Karl Pilkington's thought processes.

Critic reviews

"If Mr. Gervais made only podcasts for the rest of his career, I'd keep downloading." (The New York Times)

I was laughing for hours!!

I would recommend this book to anyone who want a good laugh.
It's very light hearted and wouldn't take it to seriously.
Karl Pilkington is best known for his Idiot Abroad series and comes out with some silly things. The times he talks about his childhood and what went on is very funny!
Worth a listen!

Karl Pilkington is the star of this!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. Despite being almost a decade old this is very funny, factually stupid and a complete waste of time. A must listen!

Would you be willing to try another book from the authors? Why or why not?

Second series is primed, ready to be listened to soon.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

Ricky can be annoying and over the top. He constantly has a go at Karl which can get on your nerves. That said he is funny. Steve acts as a referee for the most part and is equally funny. Karl for me is the star. Yes, some of the things he says are daft but then his honesty is refreshing and down to earth.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Must have

I would recommend this to EVERYBODY that speaks English. It's just about the funniest thing I've ever heard. I listen to it constantly, I know every line, every joke, every word. Awesome Christmas present.

Awesome!!!!!

This has to be one of the insanest, funniest things I’ve ever had the pleasure to listen to! Karl Pilkington is a legend!!! Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are also very funny, but they are experts at drawing the drivel out of Karl’s brain. Recommended to anyone who isn’t offended easily (even those who didn’t like other stuff by Ricky Gervais).

The podcasts that started it all...

Of all the series (besides maybe the guide to's) this one contains the most content for your money. In terms of what it contains, its fairly consistent across all 5 series. If you're new to Ricky, Karl or Podcasts as a whole, this is where you should start.
