Has anyone been keeping up with it?
For those who don't know what im talking about, Ricky Gervais was the writer/David Brent in "The Office", and has also got a new show out called "Extra's". Anyway, Himself, Steven Merchant (co-write of the office) and friend/radio show producer Karl Pilkington do a podcast where they basically just waffle on for 1/2 a hour. The first 12 shows were a free download, but because its become so huge, they've had to charge a small $$$ for the Series 2 download just to cope with the emails and bandwith its using. This has to be the funniest show i've ever heard, and Karl Pilkington is a crack up, all I can say is download it now! sit back without distraction and listen to a couple episodes, you'll be hooked! A word of warning though, don't whack it on your Ipod and take it to bed and listen to it if you have the mrs lying next to you trying to sleep. I was having fits of laughter and almost wet myself. details here episodes can be had through the usual torrent places.

Thanks for the heads up. The Office is definitely one of the funniest series I've watched, very clever.

Yep got in with the podcast series when they kicked it off. Now that you have to pay for it, I haven't bothered! Great show but I felt it lost a bit towards the end of the series (of free podcasts). Pilkington is a gem!

Yeah I felt the same about the last couple of episodes, they just tried to hard to make Karl say something stupid. Series 2 so far (up to the 3rd) has been great though, some really funny moments, just like the beginning/middle of Series 1.
btw, just download Series 2 via the usual means.

I just watched his stand-up, Animals. It's an absolute p1sser! And good news, apparently both Animals and Politics will be released here in about four days 22nd March.
I'm listening to the Podcasts and not finding them overly funny.
