    How many episodes are there?

    Has anyone ever listened to all the old xfm shows? Brilliant stuff.

    That's when I first got to know Karl through the xfm radio shows and people still don't believe he is actually like that. :D

    I often listen to them on podcasts and on Youtube, have me laughing out loud. :D

    The trailers didn;t look too good. Looking too forced now especially with Davies involved.

    For anyone who hasn't heard them they can all be found over on pilkipedia.

    Hours and hours of early Karl:)

    Has a show ever got past a 3rd series without someone on DS claiming it's past it before it's even aired? :D The trailer only shows a few unexplained reactions to footage not in it, it's just to show us he's still moaning, the bit that isn't just a soundbite montage, Karl changing his mind about having a mate instead of a cat having actually experienced it is hilarious. If the interviews are anything to go by it's going to be the best yet. Lorna Cooper says it is.

    Really looking forward to this on Friday but as it clashes with the semi final of I'm A Celeb then I'll have to Sky + it

    Yesterday afternoon I watched the final Extras show from a year years back, have to say I thought that was Ricky's finest work, it was so well written, acted and the comedy was fantastic. I'd completely forgotten about Darren, Barry & Robbie working at the Carphone Warehouse - genuine laugh out loud moments:)

    I think Karl & Warwick will be a good pairing, Ricky was on Steve Wright's show on Friday talking about it and he does make it sound unmissable

    Can't wait. :D

    Also can't wait for 1st series of Derek, I absolutely loved the one off and found it quite moving. Ricky said it's the work he is most proud of so far.

    I just hope it is as good as the trailer suggests I always thought Ricky said after series 2 it was finished.

    I love this show, but I hate that Ricky Gervais clings on to him, this show could be just as good without him getting a slice of the money

    Karl was on Steve Wright's Radio 2 show today and said there's only 3 episodes of Series 3.

    3 episodes? surely can't be right.

    can't wait for this tonight, just know it's going to be awesome

    That's what I thought but when he said there was only 3, it stood out. Mind you, how many big series start and finish after Christmas. It's normally end by Christmas or start in the New Year.

    It was originally meant to be two but they had enough material for three so extended it an episode. They're recreating Marco Polo's journey from Italy to China through India. So presumably tonight will be Italy, next week India, third week China. There's no look back this year I don't think (probably because Steven's not involved and Warwick was there with him).

    Without Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant Karl Pilkington wouldn't have got any of the attention and TV time he gets. Gervais produces the show and provides ideas. Without his input there would be no show.
