A collection of the best moments from the record-breaking Ricky Gervais Show podcasts with additional musings and original drawings by Karl Pilkington, the shows unlikely star.
Karl Pilkingtons is a brilliant mind, locked inside a perfectly round head and uncluttered by the unhelpful constraints of logic or common sense. He both baffles and enlightens with his take on topics as diverse as population control, the rights of monkeys and how long you can stay alive with your head chopped off.
Featuring the best conversations from The Ricky Gervais Show podcasts and original illustrations and scribblings by Karl Pilkington, this is a unique trip into the mind of our most innovative visionary or, as Gervais and Merchant know him, the funniest man alive in Britain today.
'Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!' Sunday Telegraph 'Surely a Christmas best-seller.' Independent on Sunday 'Not many idiots could make something this funny.' Guardian Guide
